NY Press runs 50 Most Loathsome NYers list. he he he.

50 most loathsome new yorkers. ha! The list includes both Bloomberg (#1) and Giff Miller, the Olsen brats, Lohan, Sarah Lewitinn of TENAFLY NEW JERSEY where I went to middle school, Carlos D (wrong), Eliot Spitzer (wrong again), Larry Tee, Nick Denton (I heart gawker) and my fave: Bruce Smolka--devil incarnate. 17. Bruce Smolka NYPD Assistant Chief February 1999: Officers in Smolka's NYPD's Street Crime Unit pump 41 bullets into Amadou Diallo. February 2003: Smolka illegally orders horseback-mounted police to charge a group of peaceful antiwar demonstrators. April 2003: Smolka confronts a group of about 100 demonstrators in front of the Carlyle Group's headquarters with 300 officers outfitted in full riot gear. August 2004: Responsible for securing midtown during the RNC, the smoldering chief could be found standing on "his" perimeter, head clean-shaven, blue eyes piercing, chin jutting, arms folded across his chest like an urban Patton. He personally oversaw the illegal arrest and detention of hundreds during the convention. Then, humiliated by August's 5000-strong Critical Mass ride, he deployed the NYPD's full force in an effort to control the monthly gathering. Until December, that is, when federal judge William Pauley ruled against Smolka's request for an injunction to stop the ride. The only upside of being arrested by this thug is that you have an excellent chance of getting off when your case finally comes before a judge. (thanks Brian and Gawker) link
