Muhammad Ali once more!!

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Prof. Irwin Corey for the poach! (Sorry Dissent 555…)

Kirk Douglas. Seeing as how I got in on time and got poached last time…..

Nancy Reagan, and I hope to lose.

Imma going with Phil the Greek this round.

Fidel Castro. Now that he’s seen the Pope, what else does he have to live for?

Jimmy Carter

Gonna go with Chuck Berry this time.

I don’t like the possibility, but Donald Trump is a threat to too many people in both wings of the Governing Party, and has a price on his head from the drug cartels. Someone is going to decide that he has to have an accident.

Mind you, if that happens winning the dick will be a low order priority event here as we will be somewhat pre-occupied.

!$@&)@!!

I forgot and now Fidel is taken!!!

It’ll have to be Larry King. He can’t look like a corpse and not be one forever, you know.

Going back to an oldie but a goodie: Hugh Hefner

Billy Graham, the pearly gates are waiting.

Robert Mugbe

Maureen O’Hara

George H. W. Bush…

Jerry Lewis

Gahhh!!! Been poached. Good luck, Harry. That little commie’s gotta go at some point

Ok for laughs I’ll take Susan Brownmiller. By SJW goon squad. In a dark alley, I’m sure.

Bill Shatner

Damn…back to the old standby – Antoine “Fats” Domino

Norman Lear (again).

I was tempted to switch to that blow-hard hypocrite Neil Young, but I’m in it to win the dick.

Valerie Harper

Olivia de Havilland!

Dick Van Lesbian

Dyke

too obvious

softball down the middle

Dan Rather

Hillary Clinton

Pope Benedict XVI

Bill Clinton. It’s Hillary’s last hope.

Dead man walkin’…

Doris Day for the dick.

@Ben: You have my sincerest hopes to win this round…

and@mojo: You share my sincerest hopes that you and Ben will win what ever two at a time is called–a “duofecta”?

Abe Vigoda

Glen Campbell

@thefritz: Saw where Good-Time Glen has moved from hospice to home care…don’t know if that means he is getting better (doubtful with Stage 6 Alzheimer’s) or if they want him to die at home…in any event, good luck with your pick although I hate to see Glen go…

Michael Moore

Hoping to clean up Michigan with his departure, and get the dick! 😉

Hillary press secretary Brian Fallon in a park shot twice with a shotgun committing suicide.

Burt Reynolds

Thanks Harry!

Jake Lamotta

Kirk Douglas, if he hasn’t been taken.

Gene Wilder. He can’t keep dodging it.

First, my pick: Marge Champion, half of the dance team of Gower and Marge.

Hrumph!!…

Since my Usual Cherce is notably not (over)taken just yet, I will – Taa! Daa-a! – once more go with that Fonda no one is ever fond-ah, Red Janey the Insaney…preferably being flattened, bent, folded, spindled an’ just-plain-shredded almost (but not quite!) beyond recognition, by a) a cross-town bus, b) a cable car (whether in S.F. or not), c) a herd of stampeding buffalo, or d) a herd of stampeding CA politicians all trying (and failing) to be the one to hire a hit-job on The Donald (aka: The Grreeat Amurrican Comb-Over).

BTW: Call for Mr./Ms. A. Nonymouse – your pick (@ 7:01 WBT) of ol’ Larry (The Multiple-Matrimonial) King is/was timely, but…some proper, useful self-I.D. would seem to be indicated – jus’ sayin’…

Also BTW: I’ve become convinced – Abe Vigoda, having somehow tapped into The Fountain Of Eternal, will outlive us all – so…no point, he’s Immortal ForEvah!

David Rockefeller. Again. And again and again until the old bastard dies!

Ross Perot

Charo!

Ramsey Clark

My normal picks have both been poached since I came late to the party…..sooooo, going totally off res and saying John Boehner. Now he can feel free to drink himself to death.

Clive James

Denis Healey

71 picks?-I obviously have no life, or I’m tenacious as hell! Or both. and have never won, so thats about par.

Thad Cochran

Harry Belefonte

Peter Sallis, voice for Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit fame. I don’t wish him ill, but aged 94 years, and no longer able to do voice overs, I may just get the dick soon.

Roberta McCain. It’s time.

I am sticking with Gordon Brown. If I ever win, the unexpectedness will make my victory sweeter.

Noam? I could never stand him!

Noam Chomsky, dat ol’ debbil’s a waitin’ fer ya!

Clint Eastwood, though I would mourn him…

Harry Reid. From a different exercise machine breaking on him.

Mikhail Gorbachev

John Glenn

Walter Mondale

Nancy Pelosi, please…

Catherine Elizabeth Coulson best known for her role as Margaret Lanterman, the enigmatic Log Lady, in the David Lynch TV series Twin Peaks has passed.RIP

I read yesterday that Valerie Harper was in a coma.

Desmond Tutu, so he and his commie buddy Nelson can wear necklaces in hell.

And clearly, I have no life- entry number 72

Carol Channing for the poach.

Rosalyn Carter

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Leslie Phillips

Queen Elizabeth

Something tells me this “repugnant” form of investment would be looked upon as great fun with our group!

Doris Roberts

Mrs Carl has won this one. Denis Healey, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, died today at his home near Alfriston, aged 98.

I’ve mostly picked relatively harmless candidates for the last few DPs. Let’s try an up-to-date active villain: Islam Karimov, the utterly corrupt “President” of Uzbekistan. Despite his first name, he’s anti-Moslem, using jihadism as a bogeyman to justify imprisoning and murdering critics.
