I'm lost

JUN 23, 2007 12:44 AM



There are an enormous amount of assholes in the world but only a few make the cut and land up on the FearTheReaper Asshole Fuckface Round Up. Here are this week’s winners:

Rudy Giuliani.

Since 2002, Rudy Giuliani has employed childhood friend Monsignor Alan Placa as a consultant at Giuliani Partners. The great thing about Placa is that he is an accused child molester. A grand jury report contains multiple victims describing how Place molested them. But Placa wasn’t done just diddling the kids; he also was “instrumental in the development of Diocesan policy in response to allegations of sexual abuse of children by priests." He is no longer allowed to perform priestly duties.

Exactly the type of guy you want working for you. Rudy has continued to employ Placa because he "believes Alan has been unjustly accused."

Others see it differently.


Adds Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability.org, which tracks suspected priest abuse; "I think Rudy Giuliani has to account for his friendship with a credibly accused child molester."


But, hey, Placa and Rudy were frat brothers together and you shouldn't break that kind of bond.

Sadly, Rudy will have to break the bond he has with the state chairman of his campaign for South Carolina. It seems Thomas Ravenel has been indicted on federal cocaine charges. He is accused of buying less than 500 grams of cocaine to share with other people in 2005. Revenel resigned from Rudy’s campaign, so Giuliani will have to find another drug dealer or child molester to run it for him. Good luck with the Christian vote! Next up….

George Bush.

George had a little get together at the White House yesterday. Bush held a Congressional picnic on the South Lawn so he could “thank the members of Congress and their families for serving the United States.” It was a Mardi Gras theme!

During the ceremony Bush invited the band leader of the New Orleans jazz band Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers up to the podium for a little yuk yuk time. Kermit is a black man. Bush is a rich, white, frat guy. Here we go...


MR. RUFFINS: Well, thanks for having us.

THE PRESIDENT: Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers, right out of New Orleans, Louisiana. (Applause.)

MR. RUFFINS: Thank you. Thanks for having us. We're glad to be here.

THE PRESIDENT: Proud you're here. Thanks for coming. You all enjoy yourself. Make sure you pick up all the trash after it's over. (Laughter.)


Ha ha! Hilarious! Get it? The black guy is the help. He gets to play music AND pick up garbage. Good stuff. Next up…

Cameron Diaz.

Cameron is on a little trip to Peru, during which she visited the Inca city of Machu Picchu in the Andes. Being incredibly fashionable, she wore an olive green messenger bag that had a big red star on the side and the words, “Serve the people,” printed in Chinese. It may be the most famous slogan of communist leader Mao Zedong.

Had Cameron picked up a book about Peru before she visited or maybe just glanced at a newspaper during the past couple of decades, she might have known that Peruvians were brutalized by a Maoist guerrilla insurgency from the ‘80s into the ‘90s. For years the Shining Path engaged in massacres, bombings and assassinations. 70,000 died.

But the bags look really cute when you’re “roughing it.” Try reading a book, you Hollywood dipshit. Next up…

Martin Luther King, Jr. Harbor Hospital in Los Angeles.

Yes, an entire hospital is an asshole fuckface! Martin Luther King, Jr. is the worst hospital in Los Angeles, maybe the world. It was built after the Watts riots to serve poor, minority communities in south LA. It has a horrendous history, plagued by many patient deaths due to poor nursing care. In the last few years LA country has dumped millions of dollars into the hospital in an effort to turn it around. It didn’t take!

Just ask Edith Isabel Rodriguez who went to the emergency room due to severe stomach pain. The staff was not happy to see her because it was her third visit to the ER.


"You have already been seen, and there is nothing we can do," a nurse told her.


That was not the kind of care Rodriguez was looking for. She collapsed to the floor, screaming in pain an started vomiting blood. Oh, my God! The nurses rushed to help, right? Nope. Surveillance videos show nurses walking past her as she writhes in pain. A janitor even cleaned up around her as she laid in her own blood. Her boyfriend, who had been gone for half an hour, returned to an ugly scene.


"When I came back, I found her lying on the floor with blood coming out of her mouth," Prado said. "She said, 'Honey, help me! Nobody will help me here!'"


Her boyfriend begged for help from the staff and even a police sergeant. Nobody would help. Eventually he called 911, but considering Rodriquez was already at a hospital, nothing was done. Finally, the county police arrested her for a parole violation. They put her in a wheel chair and pushed her out of the hospital, but they had to do a quick u-turn because her heart had stopped. She died of a perforated bowel, a condition that is easily treated if caught in time. Catching it in time does not occur if you leave the patient bleeding on the floor.

In all probability the hospital will be closed.

Holy shit. The hospital story is too much. That should stand alone.

Thankfully,

Sheriff's detectives, meanwhile, have opened a homicide investigation.


I hope they get everyone involved. That's despicable.

You forgot the Iraqi health minister that said the orphans our troops rescued were "in perfect health" and that americans "have no compassion" and we are still the enemies of the Iraqi people. That guy sounds lika a grade A fuckin douchebag to me. Just thought I'd throw that one out as well.

This is totaly unrelated to everything except Diaz. I have been totally pissed about the baseball style hat that I see all the celebs and the I want to look and dress like the celebs wearing. Everyone probably knows which one I am talking about it has become as popular as ugh's (sp) . Heres the deal and someone let me know if I am wrong but if you watch the history/Hitler channel or any WWII movie you will see that very style hat being worn by none other than the Nazi's. It was the field cap worn by German soldiers in WWII. Is there a designers out there so untalented or so out of ideas that they have to jazz up the cap the Nazi's made so stylish while burning millions of human beings or were the Germans just A La Mode! Just does not seem very fasionable to me. Of course I mostly wear T-shirts and shorts so what do I know.

I didn't believe the Bush quote until I saw it on the White House website. Thanks for the link. Sometimes it seems like way too much bullshit to actually believe. But it is Bush, afterall......

I'm way too sickened by the hospital bit to even comment. I think its already been expressed.

That story about MLK Jr hospital is just the latest horror story. It's license is under review now and will probably be revoked. The gov't is on the verge of pulling it's funding, etc.

and because the first phone call to 911 didn't work, another lady who was waiting in the emergency room witnessing this mess called them back and begged them to do something.

Please forgive me for posting a link to the O'Reilly Factor, but it's all I could find with the 911 audio.

yeah, my mom worked at LA are hospitals years ago. Shes heard all sorts of horror stories from MLK. It will probably be a good thing if they close.

I know Im going to have people jump all over me for this, but apparently, Edith Isabel Rodriguez was what nurses and doctors call a "frequent flyer," somebody with a drug problem who is in and out of the hospital, just to try to get more meds. Health care staff become conditioned to start ignoring these people when they repeatedly come in again and again trying to fenagle drugs.
So now its resulted in this horribly tragic Chicken Little deal..... or is it Never Cry Wolf....

Well either way its beyond terrible. She should have recieved medical attention despite that being her third visit, and the fact that she still didnt get any when a janitor saw her bleeding out on the floor is even more sickening. Even if she was a "frequent flyer," thats no excuse for ignoring her outright.


oh yeah, and cameron diaz sucks

Where I work we get alot of "frequent flyrers" people are spend more time in the ER than people who work there. I am talking about people who you see so often you know them by name. There is no reason for 20+ ER visits a month, especially not when it's all either indigent care or county/state healthcare so we poor tax payers are paying for $1000+ ER visits for these people 20 times a month.

Even so, when we see one of our frequent flyers in actually distress they get the same care and treatment that everyone else with an actual emergency deserves. The behavior of the people working at that hospital is just pitiful. They should all lose their licenses and if I was that poor woman's family, I would be smacking that hospital with a huge lawsuit.

It's kind of unfair having Bush on this list. He's kind of a ringer as far as assholes are concerned.

Although the story about MLK Jr. Hospital is pretty good competition, at least for now.

except for the fact that the death toll GWB is responsible for is in the 10's of thousands. Not to mention that he does not give two shits if poor people can't afford health care.

"Frequent flyer" or not, the fact that she was lying in a pool of her own blood might be enough to indicate that she might have actually needed help...

I remember hearing that the 911 dispatcher who got the first call is going to be fired for dismissing it as a prank. I dunno, if I was in that situation, I'd probably think it was a mean prank too...who'd believe someone sitting in an emergency room waiting room would need to be rushed to a DIFFERENT HOSPITAL?

Holy shit. What a fucking zero. Regardless of her location the fact that she sports a communist logo anywhere is ridiculous. It'd be one thing if she actually was one (still lame, though) but to adopt it as yer fucking trendy accessory? Ugh.

Also, Fuck Martin Luther King, Jr!*

In Florida 911 can't send an ambulance to pick someone up if they are at a full service hospital. You have to be 100yards away from the hospital to get an ambulance to pick you up.
