P.J. O'Rourke

Long before I gave a crap about politics, this guy was taking up the inches in Rolling Stone magazine that should have been reserved for stories about Paul Schaffer, Grace Jones, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. He was the A. Whitney Brown of the pop print media. (Hey SNL, I'm here for the Church Lady, not this awkward show-stopper.)

Now O'Rourke has made the leap to television pundit and is clogging up the airwaves of my regular leftist fare like "Real Time with Bill Maher" and "The Daily Show" with his mixture of hackneyed libertarian humor and raw sexuality. He may be a good writer, I have no idea, but either way I think there's a very strong chance he's on the fucking list.
