eh, that was kind of a stupid list. I've never heard of over half the people on there. The only people I agreed with on the list were Joan Rivers and the Hiltons. And maybe Howard Stern too. but Rudy!?! give me a break!! that was wrong, he doesn't deserve the #1 spot.

Oh my goodness. Think of the people they are missing!!

Michael Bloomberg, mayor of NYC and the whiniest person on the face of the earth. Why be a mayor if you don't like dealing with people?

Al Sharpton, robber of old ladies social security checks. Who paid for his failed run for NYC mayor, NY Senator and U.S. President? Does the man have an actual job?

Randi Weingarten, head of the Teachers Union. If you hooked her mouth up to Con Edison, you could generate electricity for the entire state of NY for a whole year.

Jerry Seinfeld, unfunny comedian who made it popular to be a whiney New Yorker.

Rosie O'Donnell, truck driver in drag that wants everyone to love her even though she's a psychological mess.

Anyone who thinks the meat packing district is a cool place to live. (Yes Phoebe Cates, we are talking about you).

The film crew of Law & Order who don't realize that people actually live here and are not happy at the inconvenience of your presence.

NYU film students - see Law & Order reason above.

The 2012 Olympic Committee - see Law & Order reason above.

The Republican National Convention - see Law & Order reason above.

Bill & Hillary Clinton - see Law & Order reason above.

If I were voting again, I would vote for him also. Since I no longer vote, it is a moot point.

Mr. Roxy you must exercise your franchise....VOTE!!

What is hard to understand about this explanation, what doesn't make sense about this?

"Forget his violating federal handicap laws, his wars on rent control and community gardens, his refusal to test DNA rape kits until the five-year statute of limitations was up, or his corporate real estate giveaways..."

You praise the "clean up" but do you understand how he let the big corporations off the hook on paying taxes for the new, "clean" (some would argue, "sanitized beyond recognition like the new Mall of America") New York. Did you know that when he funded a study to find out if the existence of porn stores increased crime in Times Sqaure the study actually found that the well-lit 24 hour stores actually discouraged crime in the area? What did St Rudy do? He said he didn't care what any stupid study said and he set about destroying the adult businesses and handing the premeses over to Disney, which is really just another form of porn.

Disney porn ? What are old Mickey & Minnie up to ? Hmmm. I guess that means Pluto is being replaced by URANUS. I thought I heard everything but Disney & porn in the same sentence. Bit of a stretch. Oh well. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Without Disney, 3 theaters would be dark & one of those ( New Amsterdam) would now be a total ruin. Many actors , actresses , musicians etc would be out of work & many millions of families would never have had what they consider entertainment. All because you don't like Guiliani. Boy am I glad I am out of the political arena. I comment here only as it relates to Broadway

To Third Row Center, thanks but no chance in hell I will ever vote or debate anything political. I made the decision a few months ago & I am a happy camper. I now tune out all the BS & get on with my life. Who wins in Novemeber ? I could care less

I know of a certain "theatre critic" who writes for the NY Post and has a Friday night theatre talk show that is missing from that list.

---

which ny post "theatre critic" has a friday night talk show? clive barnes or donald lyons? oh wait, is it brian scott lipton? i'm sure that you wouldn't be mistaking a gossip columnist for a critic, would you? because with such a healthy loathing it would defeat your purpose to increase his standing by giving him a better title than he's earned or ever used.

---

Double word.

Papa wasn't inferring that Brian was loathsome. Papa is insinuating that Brian, along with Clive Barnes & Donald Lyons were CRITICS...while the 'other, loathesome person' (guess who) was a gossip columnist impersonating a critic.

And you are right...Brian is an absolute doll!

---

That is true. My mistake.
Gossip columnist is a much better title for him.

How about: "Anybody who has received money they wouldn't have if 9/11 didn't happen"?

That would cover Giuliani and many, many others...and not just opportunistic politicians & lawyers!
