Begun as an article in The American Spectator, The Enemies List quickly grew into an all-encompassing guide to the most dislike, foolish, and politically disgraceful people of the 1990s. Readers contributed their own suggestions, and with P.J.'s razor-sharp additions and asides, "The List" became a hysterical commentary on the trouble with politicians and celebrities alike. What sets this roster apart from the common blacklist is its generous approach to membership; you don't have to be a card-carrying member of anything to qualify. O'Rourke throws a wide net around the ridiculous, inane, and generally annoying individuals who can be found in the public and political worlds of our society.
