It's a meme of sorts: the Beast started things with its list of the Fifty Most Loathsome people in America. Carpetbagger invites readers to expand, edit or refine--surprisingly, there don't seem to be a lot of interesting additions, so far except perhaps for comment #18, this guy. I am tempted to add "Julie Andrews," but only for this; over a lifetime, she has earned at made at least partial expiation.
But reading Carpetbagger's account, it did occur to me: they say the enemy of my enemy friend, but a corollary is that my friend is no more than my enemy's enemy. What if some of these slimebags teamed up together? What of Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin staffing adjacent chairs at the Supercuts? Michael Savage and Mark Foley restocking the Safeway? George Allen and--well, anybody--doing--well, anything? The mind boggles.

If you simply assume that each of these (mostly) unloveable people has to deal with people of the same or remarkably similar ilk, then hell is already here on earth for them. (Incidentally, I take strong exception to listing James Carville at all; he brightens my life.)
At any rate, here's a partial list of people on the Obnoxious People list who don't have to go to hell because it hovers around them them, like a bad odor.(Remember, after each bullet point, insert the words "and vice-versa"):
•Dick Cheney has to live with Lynne Chaney.
•Mel Gibson has to put up with his father
•"Britney" Spears (named after what, a province of "Frnce?") at least had the momentary pleasure of getting rid of Kevin Federline, but now she has to hang out with that Hilton slut)
•OJ Simpson can't even get a slimeball as lowly as Judith Regan on the phone any more
•George Bush has to get into bed every night with Laura
•John McCain has to figure out each night which of his many selves he's getting into his wife's bed with.
