People I Would Make an Ass Out of Myself in Front of if I Ever Met Them

Here, for your chewing-over pleasure, I am providing a list of the top people I can think of [off the top of my head] who would turn me into a blabbering idiot if I ever got to meet them in person. You know, the sort of "Uh.... Nice to meet you! Hi! Big fan! You... Hi! How are you? You're just great!....." while my eyes glaze over, and I possibly pass out.

1.) Rachel Maddow

Uh, duh. She's fantastic, brilliant, almost always wrong [Obama can't win the nomination, can't beat McCain], but still going strong!

2.) Stephanie Miller

She's probably the best talk show host I've ever heard, and certainly the funniest. Not to mention, smart, nuts, and an ardent supporter of alcoholism!

3.) Sarah Vowell

I like her books. She's really smart. I think this is a theme.

4.) Mittens

I really think Mitt Romney will be President someday, or at least VP. And not for no reason. Aside from the whole Mormon thing, he's a decent average Republican.

5.) Tina Fey

If you don't know why, you are one of those people who should be watching NBC on Thursday nights at 9:30, but isn't. You suck. Stop sucking.

6.) Joe Biden

I might be able to get out a few sentances, since he seems actually personable, but I think I'd end up looking like a twit anyway.

7.) I like the number seven more than I like six, so it's either take Joe off the list and stick with 5, or come up with a 7. Uh... Alec Baldwin. There we go. Reasons are listed under item 5. Stop sucking.
