17 Bob Kerrey, President, New School

When the bug-eyed former senator and current New School prez got
word that the New York Times was about to publish an article
asserting his involvement in a massacre of Vietnamese civilians in
1969, he came forward a few days ahead of time to give his own
version of the story—and was immediately applauded for his
courage in facing up to his "painful" past despite the fact that 1) he’d
sat on the story for 32 years and 2) the real pain was on the other
side of the machine gun. Kerrey is the face of that bloated,
self-centered, delusional America that somehow still manages to
see itself as the victim in Vietnam—as though its pseudo-literary
"loss of innocence" and, in this case, ruined political prospects,
somehow compare to two million actual dead people and a
mine-strewn countryside of ravaged moonscapes.
