   Metrosexual, narcissistic, with delusions of adequate,

   … that creepy stalker douchebag who’s name I will not say.

   Nick Coleman.
   Back in the late 80’s, when I lived in W. St. Paul, he had a huge, multi-part story about how badly the Native Americans were treated when Minnesota was settled.
   I was politically very liberal in those days but even then I couldn’t stomach the preachiness and scolding, the moral preening of Coleman’s work. The immigrants had arrived in Minnesota often with nothing more than the shirts on their backs, an axe, and a rifle, and they turned what was literally a howling wilderness into a calm, settled, and very productive land. Coleman — who has never worried about feeding and housing his family — presumed to sit in moral judgment upon them.

   Peev. Without even a question.

   His only chance if he gets DQ’ed because “unhinged ranting” doesn’t actually rate as, y’know, writing.

   Garrison Keillor. An enormously talented fellow supplying bile by the 55-gallon drum.

   Nick Coleman is close…..remember when he said we should fire bomb the city of Atlanta again because their MLB team is called the Braves. But have to agree wtih Mr D….no one is a bigger douche then Garrison Keillor. And as you say, it’s worse for him because he actually has talent.

   Garrison Keillor. a moderately talented hack whose entire career was built on (ripped off) Mark Twain’s lecture circuit act from the 1890’s. The bile he’s been dispensing the last ten years is the literary limit of his “own” talent.

   I, of course, have to nominate Nick Coleman, even though the man does manage to ejaculate the occasional decent column, usually about some kids kayaking to the Congo or somesuch.

   That said, it’s hard to outdo the crowd at MinnIndy. That Priesmeyer tool couldn’t be more of a douche if she showered daily in water and vinegar.

   I’d say it’s a toss-up between Garrison Keillor and Nick Coleman. Maybe Mitch should do a parody of one of the two but leave it up to his readers to guess which one he’s doing.

    Rahelio Soleil perhaps?
    Apparently, not a very current choice, but he certainly qualifies!

    Omigod, Susan Lenfesty, without a doubt.
