In the January 15th issue of Newcity (a weekly Chicago independant rag) the cover story announces "10 Chicagoans We Love To Hate!" Inside the list covers everyone from rapper R. Kelly to Trib columnist Mary Schmich, and all of Chicago's celebrities inbetween. They give their take on Ditka ("Ditka stands as the epitome of everything we fight against. Because of him, we're characterized as bulky, brutish, blue-collar jokes with slicked-back hair and overgrown mustaches"), Ira Glass ("When Glass counts off the chapters in the beginning of every show, it's starting to sound like nails on a chalkboard"), Bob Sirott ("Chicago Tonight staffers whispered concern that Sirott would turn the in-depth news, arts and culture show into "Fox Thing at Night." Well, guess what? They were right"), Richard Roeper ("He's like Ryan Seacrest spliced with Bill Zehme, our city's trademark metrosexual"), and even Joan Cusak ("Maybe we're just sick of seeing the scrunched up face of Chicago's sweetheart everywhere"). And while I won't' admit to loving to hate everyone on the list, it's hard to disagree when such valid points are made.
