Barack Obama and Ed Schultz Make GQ's '25 Least Influential People Alive'
2011-11-27
President Barack Obama and MSNBC's Ed Schultz have been named to GQ magazine's annual list of "The 25 Least Influential People Alive."

Although not available online yet, TVNewser published a preview Friday:

MSNBC's Ed Schultz comes in at #3. Ouch.

...Then there pundits like Ed Schultz. Do you watch "The Ed Show" on MSNBC? Of course you don't. No one does. The only reason people watch "The Ed Show" is they're working out in a hotel gym and they can't find a staff member to change the channel to ESPN.

Hehehe.

According to TVN, Obama came in 25th. Can't wait to see the explanation.

In the seventeenth position is Daily Beast/Newsweek editor Tina Brown. Forbes quoted from the piece Tuesday:

Brown spent 2011 transforming Newsweek from a magazine no one reads into a magazine no one reads but everyone despises. That's what happens when you star-f**k the corpse of Princess Diana by Photoshopping her at age 50 for your cover, then do a separate Photoshop of her holding an iPhone, and then create a fake Facebook page for her that includes wall posts from Deepak Chopra. Did you know Tina and Di were friends? They were! This Photoshopped image of them having lunch with Stevie Nicks is proof!

#1  According to TVN, Obama came in 25th. Can't wait to see the explanation. Ed of the Ed Show came in #3? What about Al Gore or Keith Olbermann?

It's Bush's fault? The American people are lazy? It is part of the vast right wing conspiracy? Take your pick--there are many.

Although I can believe this list, I don't know what the criteria was for "least influential." They must be referring to politicians and media people. There are a vast number of celebrities who would otherwise fall on this list. What about Joe Snograss down the street? Just fun I guess.
