Wednesday night open thread - another top 10

You all have been enjoying the open theme threads the last couple of days, so here's another.

Name your top 10 Hall of Fame professional political right-wing or fundamentalist gasbags.

You can have two lists of ten -- the religious ones and the political ones (Coulter, O'Reilly, etc.).

I'll just toss out a few fundies for starters: Daddy Dobson, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Lou Sheldon and Andrea Lafferty (Lou's daughter and partner in crime at the Traditional Values Coalition), American Family Association heads, Don and Tim Wildmon, "Bishop" Harry Jackson, Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality's Peter LaBarbera, the professional ex-gays at Exodus, Ken Hutcherson, Bob Knight, Gary Bauer, all the "concerned men" at Concerned Women for America, Ohio Talibangelist Rod Parsley of the Patriot Pastor movement, the Catholic League's Bill Donohue disgraced former Alabama chief justice Roy "Ten Commandments" Moore, Alan Keyes (who kicked his lesbian daughter out of the family home)...oh, I could go on all night.

Fred Phelps is disqualified because we need a baseline sanity level.

The saving grace is that these pious folks and tools of the GOP have had to try and explain an epic amount of "problems" in their world -- Ted Haggard, Mary Cheney procreating, any number of social conservative pols caught with their pants down - plus a Republican 2008 field full of adulterers and wrecked marriages. Too delicious.

And I cannot forget one of my favorites, the incredible embarrassment to the ex-gay movement, "therapist" Richard Cohen:



Have fun.
