Now, Olbermann brings these legendary offenders together in The Worst Person in the World: And 202 Strong Contenders. Awarding bronze, silver, and gold medals, Olbermann offers a brash appraisal of humanity at its lowest--politically, socially, and morally.
From Amber Frey to Ann Coulter, from Donald Rumsfeld to the FOX News Channel, from sports figures to schoolteachers to stupid criminals, no one eludes Olbermann's gimlet eye. Winners include: 22-year-old Ronald MacDonald, who was accused of theft at his place of employment . . . Wendy'sMario Edney, the bus driver who literally threw a woman under the bus when she complained he bypassed her stopU. S. Olympic skier Bode Miller, who revealed that he has often competed while drunk--and that he may do so againRush Limbaugh, who, among other things, admitted to taking some pleasure in the kidnappings in Iraq "because I'm eager for people to see reality"FEMA, for sending planes full of injured Hurricane Katrina evacuees to West Virginia when they were supposed to meet medical teams in South Carolina--not once, but twice
As the recipient of a bumper crop of medals, Bill O'Reilly receives special attention. Olbermann offers readers a handy "O'Reilly Code" of key terms to aid in the understanding of "this generation's Joe McCarthy."
Olbermann also explains his methodology for choosing these unlucky winners, presents new honorary "Worsts," and in the end names one person "Worst in Show."
