I just ran across this article on Yahoo!, it was posted on March 29. When I saw this title, I thought for sure they will include Ron. I was correct, Ron is #61.

Not really sure what the point of this article, but it is just another superficial, out of context attack the liberal smear machine loves to do. To be fair, quite a few liberals are on the list, too.61. Ron Paul, Libertarian Politician
Libertarian candidate for president now less powerful than “aqua-Buddha” worshiping son Rand Paul. Perennial candidate emulating fellow hopeless case Dennis Kucinich.
The lead paragraph to this list says this, in case you don't want to subject yourself to the ads:
So according to them, Ron Paul and libertarianism must be flawed, useless or irrelevent.This article could be called “The Emperor Has No Clothes.” The people on this list used to be powerful. They have powerless titles, or they never had power at all. Each person on the list is an impostor, even if he or she does not mean to be. The powerless can be well-intentioned. It may not be their fault that they have been rendered impotent. Conversely, many of the people who make the list deserve far worse fates than being on the list. A 24/7 Wall St. analysis identified five major groups that are powerless: (1) corporate executives, (2) sports figures, (3) politicians, (4) royalty, and (5) celebrities.
This list is necessary, much more so than many of the “best” lists. Too many people represent themselves and their institutions as the “best” when they are flawed, useless or irrelevant. It is often harder to find the least powerful than it is the most powerful. The best speak up for themselves. Those who pretend to have power often try to hide the fact they lack it.
