   Are you being deliberately cruel? Malcolm Turnbull will be very upset. Gough and the other Malcolm may also be a bit miffed at the perception of irrelevance.

   i would have thought Rumsfeld, Cheney as unrestrained profiting war-dogs and murderers and then Bush and Howard for ignorant, gullible brazen stupidity

   Phil Ruddock. Ha! That must be vestigal appallingness from his appalling heyday. He hasn’t exactly been front’n’centre lately.

   I’m surprised we couldn’t round up more conservatives to find Julia Gillard appalling. Surprised, but not disappointed.

   I am shocked to see that John Howard has been voted the most appalling person of 2007. Alan Jones scored only fourteen votes and he’s been working on his reputation for years. Even Piers Ackerman got sixteen votes (although he probably voted for himself.

   Andrew - did you nominate anyone or vote? I am pleasantly surprised that so many Australians agree (at last - including it now seems Brendan) that our image has suffered as if we were just an understudy to all yank interests, yanks being the most hated.

   Crikey’s list of ‘appalling’ and ‘appealing’ is simply the left’s hate-list and love-list. BORING Crikey …… and SOOOO predictable.

   Wow, it seems the Crikey readership is as strikingly left wing as the majority of its reporters. The most appalling person in Australia is Julia Gillard closely followed by Pauline Hanson… where are they?

    The partisan bias is not even remotely subtle. Curiously the appealing people do not arouse so much enthusasm.

    Most appalling/appealing- I want to know who ‘other’is. He/she got so many votes he/she must be must be far more interesting than the usual suspects trotted out by the handful of voters cited.

    I can only assume that ‘Other’ is an alias of Andrew Demetriou or Caroline Wilson.

    Two truly appalling individuals.
