In the annual USA Today-Gallup poll released 26 December, the following were named as the men and women most admired by Americans:
MOST ADMIRED MAN
President George W. Bush – 10 percent
Former President Bill Clinton – 8 percent
Former Vice President Al Gore – 6 percent
Senator Barack Obama – 5 percent
MOST ADMIRED WOMAN
Senator Hillary Clinton – 18 percent
TV host Oprah Winfrey – 16 percent
First lady Laura Bush – 3 percent
Actress Angelina Jolie – 3 percent
So, let’s get this straight: the most-hated man in America, presumably, President Bush, making his 7th appearance atop the list, and the most hated woman in the country, former first lady and New York State Senator Clinton, topping the list for the 12th time, are also the most admired.
Tell me this is not a “house divided.”

They should have asked for America's favorite Hobbit.
Or Dagwood his favorite sandwich. As a great American, ringmaster P.T. Barnum, once said ... but I think you know what he said.
