The p3 meta-analysis of "The 50 most Loathsome Americans of 2010"

For some reason, I've neglected The Beast's last two annual countdowns of the 50 most loathsome Americans of the previous year (here's my quickie guide to the best of the best from 2007, 2006, and 2005).

Time to repair that. Here is the p3 meta-analysis of the 50 most loathsome people of 2010.

(And remember; they're trying to get under your skin. If you make it all the way to #1 without seeing your ox get gored at least once, you're not doing it right.)

Cruelest, but most deserved: #38, #25,

Cruel, but deserved worse: #30, #19, #18, #5,
