A List
Bud Adams recently told The Tennessean that he doesn’t like Mayor Bill Purcell much, at the same time saying that the mayor doesn’t like him much either. The Scene has obtained a document titled “Bud’s List” that includes the rest of the people the Titans owner doesn’t like, along with the reasons why:
♦ Metro Council member Ludye Wallace: “Crazier than a castrated rodeo bull.”
♦ Metro finance director David Manning: “Always looks like he just passed gas and is trying to hide it.”
♦ PR Maven Sue Atkinson: “When it comes down to it, I just don’t like women who are taller than me.”
♦ Billionaire Martha Ingram: “When it comes down to it, I just don’t like women who are richer than me.”
♦ TV sportscaster Rudy Kalis: “Those sweaters look like they’re made out of pillowcases from a cheap house of ill repute.”
♦ Gov. Don Sundquist: “Is he gone yet? What an idiot.”
♦ Talk show host Steve Gill: “So far right, he makes me feel like a tree-hugging Kennedy lover, and that gives me the willies.”
♦ Vanderbilt Chancellor Gordon Gee: “Wear those bow-ties down here in Texas and he’d get the dog doo kicked out of him every day.”
♦ Predators Owner Craig Leipold: “Deal on the arena makes me look like Mother Teresa.”
♦ Tennessean Editor Frank Sutherland: “Wrote column about wines that go with cheeseburgers. Wine and cheeseburgers? He’s looney-toons. That’s like pouring orange juice on your cereal.”
