I take Ronald Reagan. I’ll write it up later because I want to keep this moving and I need time to do his complete and utter assholery justice.

Reagan is a good choice, though a lot of his assholery is centered around other people taking advantage of a demented old fuck

That’s not really assholery.
Yea Reagan was more senile than asshole.
Nah he was a complete asshole too. Nowhere near the list of biggest assholes of all time imo, but definitely an asshole.

This may be spew, but I’m taking Jerry Falwell Sr. Just such a fucking asshole.
Christopher Hitchens — ‘If you gave Jerry Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.’
Falwell on AIDS: “AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.”
Falwell on feminism: “I listen to feminists and all these radical gals – most of them are failures. They’ve blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That’s all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they’re mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They’re sexist. They hate men – that’s their problem.”
Falwell on the ACLU: “The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews.”
Falwell on global warming: “The whole global warming thing is created to destroy America’s free enterprise system and our economic stability.”
Falwell on civil rights leaders: “I do question the sincerity and nonviolent intentions of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left-wing associations.”
Falwell on Brown v Board of Education: “If Chief Justice Warren and his associates had known God’s word and had desired to do the Lord’s will, I am quite confident that the 1954 decision would never have been made. The facilities should be separate. When God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line.”
Falwell’s take on 9/11: “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say ‘you helped this happen.’”
Falwell on unions: “Labor unions should study and read the Bible instead of asking for more money. When people get right with God, they are better workers.”

“To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” - Reagan

Yea I should have worded it better. He doesn’t really belong on a list like this. There are A LOT of bigger assholes out there.
I assume most of the remaining drafters are on to the having fun with it stage at this point. I know I am.

It seems to me like there are still some picks left that I thought for sure would be top 5 or at least top 10. Usually the fun stage is after the real meat is picked off the bones.
I assumed this was the only stage there was.
