Politician

The Resume

    (October 29, 1897-May 7, 1945)
    Birth name was Paul Joseph Goebbels
    Minister of Propaganda for the Third Reich (1929-1945)
    Joined the NSDAP (1922)
    Business manager of the NSDAP (1925)
    Appointed Reich Propaganda Leader of the NSDAP by Hitler (1929)

Why he might be annoying:

    He went by his middle name.
    After hearing Hitler speak for the first time, he went home and wrote in his diary: 'Hitler,' I love you.'
    He became a relentless Jew-baiter, demonizing the stereotyped figure of the 'International Jewish Financier' in London and in Washington.
    He allied with the 'Jew-Bolsheviks' in Moscow, as the chief enemy of the Third Reich.
    He often questioned people about their Jewish names, even though Joseph is a Jewish name.
    He designed posters, published his own propaganda, staged impressive parades, organized his bodyguards to participate in street battles, beer-hall brawls and shooting affrays as a means to further his political agitation.
    It was his 'quick thinking' and decisive action after the attempt on Hitler's life was made which saved the Nazi regime.
    He isolated the conspirators in the War Ministry with the help of detachments of loyal SS troops.
    Following the Fuhrer's suicide, Goebbels disregarded Hitler's political testament, which had appointed him as Reich Chancellor, and decided to follow suit.
    He gave long, well droned out speeches focused only on how the Jews were 'poisoning aryan blood.'
    He blamed Jews for everything that was wrong with his life.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a left handed.
    He was a frail man, unimpressive in his stature. One of his legs was longer than the other, because he suffered from a clubbed foot.
    During the start of WW I, he tried to join the army. The recruiting officer took one look at Joseph and then laughed in his face. Joseph went home a cried for hours.
    He committed suicide.
