The Worst Person in the World Hits Bookstores in September

OlbyWatch Trivia: see if you can figure out who is missing from the list of WPITW winners in the bookseller's notice below.

Here's the bookseller notice (edited for brevity):

"During each edition of Countdown, Olbermann has a segment called The Worst Person in the World, in which he gives out bronze, silver and gold medals to the people who demonstrated that day just low humans can sink morally, socially or politically. He already has 120 pieces, which we ll combine with a brief intro (1000 words) on his methodology in choosing the worst people, as well as his thoughts on just what is wrong with them.

Recent gold-medalists include: Robert Novak, Tom Cruise, Paula Jones, Brit Hume, Paul Eibler (makes Grand Theft Auto ), Liz Beattie (teacher wants to eliminate failing grades), the organizers of a water-gun tournament in NYC, pitchers Kenny Rogers and Livan Hernandez, Councillor Lim Kit Sing of Hong Kong, Amber Frey, Ann Coulter, Victoria Gotti, Geraldo Rivera, and FEMA spokesperson Mary Hudak, plus a half-dozen idiot criminals.

Is he writing a separate book on our "No Spin" guy?

Anyway, I like the idea of Olby's picture along with the title "Worst Person in the World". It looks very appropriate.

Missy,

You are so right about putting KO's picture next to the title! HA! Sends a message!

What possible reason could there be for not mentioning a guy who's medaled approximately 80 times?

Hmm...misleading? Misinformation? Cherry-picking? You decide.

On the front cover, the three pictures doesn't that look like Bill on the left?
Okay, so who's show is he going to go on to promote the book?
After NBC he's just about been fired from every place else.
Okay NPR and that Fresh Air show cause they hate O'Reilly.
Air America, if its still on the air.
Howard? He's only pulling a few million. Keith better stick some naked chicks in the center.
Alan Commes? Nope thats Fox Radio. Never H+C.
The View? Well Imus has gone that low.
Go on the Big O? Her Zombies will buy a couple of thousand.

I don't know maybe Keith will fool us and then again, maybe, Keith won't sell enough copies to beat a THREE YEAR OLD "NO SPIN ZONE" BOOK!!!LOL!

Gee is it any surprise who the number one person is going to be? It's like before the book comes out you already know the ending!

And you know if this book tanks(gee why not?) Drudge will be posting it as worst book ever in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Hollywood they give out Razzies for the worst movie of the year. What award do they give out for the worst book of the year?

Just found out Snoop Dog has a book comming out in the fall too. Snoop outsells Olby's book. Now that would be "OFF THE CHARTS!" WORD-UP!
