and here was I, thinking the world couldn’t be more depressing ....

With George Bush and Sarah Palin occupying the #2 slots, does anybody really care what these people who were polled think? There’s obviously way too many morons in the sample. It’s perhaps more amazing they even know who any of these people are, much less who they have preferences for. Polling a troupe of chimpanzees about banana brand preferences would be more substantive than polling the American public/electorate about anything requiring cognitive processes outside the hindbrain. I attended the installation of the Dalai Lama into the faculty at Emory University a few years ago—listened to him lecture and attended a special Q&A forum with him. The Dalai Lama is on another level far above and apart from anything that included the names of Bush, Palin, Condoleeza Rice, and Glenn Beck. This is meaningless and useless. To dignify this piece of information about this so-called “poll” with too much more commentary begs the question. I agree most with one of the above comments—“A survey on the most effective hemorrhoid creams would serve mankind to a much greater degree.”

General,
Of COURSE I know that Condaleeza Rice is that weird oxymoron: A Black Republican.  Is she a token? Hell No! She’s an oil exec, just like most of Bush and Cheney’s pals are, and, apparently, a damned good one (kind of like being a very good Demon from Hell).  They named a tanker after her!

As racist as the GOP has become, they always have room for wealthy neo-cons, regardless of their color.

@Inherit The Wind (“On the plus side, 3 of the 5 women most admired by Americans are Black, so that’s no longer a liability.”),
Great comment, but you do know that condi is the ultimate token black to repuKKKes, yeah? Maybe aside from Clarence T, and ridiculous Michaal S., that is.
Amazing.

@Patrick Henry (“Maybe if the Dalai Lama were broadcast in an equal time slot 24/7 this farce of a poll would have some meaning.”)
After I stopped laughing I realized what an amazing feat this is by the Dalai Lama or the US public.
Lets face it, how many would even know who the Dalai Lama is, anymore? That number must be dwarfed by the amount that know Glenda BeKKKistan.

IDK folks, this poll kinda made my day.

A good examply of gratuitous headlines. Obama has more 5 times (22%) the popularity than number 2 or 3, Clinton and Bush.

Yet you chose your headline to be about Hatemonger beKKKistan, and number 10, the Dalai Lama.

Weird.

don’t you think we would have liked some positive headlines about Obama for once????
Like:
Obama FIVE times as popular as Clinton or Bush. Many would not be surprised about bush, but that he’s 5 times as popular as elder statesman Clinton, who since the 2008 primaries has had nothing but positive press, and a softnews press at that with his daughters wedding.

That is kinda surprising. The biggest problem Democrats and other regular folks have is the bad press of anything leftwing, anything Obama. The vast rightwing media machine has done an excellent job in winning over the Independents, and we will lose the 2012 election. Not to Palin, of course, even the crazies see that she’s too insane. But to a likeable candidate like Chris Christie, Huckabee, Romney or Pawlenty. These four will be either president or VP in 2012.

And the quality of my life will greatly improve if you don’t post pics of beKKK from foKKKs, thank you.

PS yes, i took my nick from Zelazny
sorry if this is a double post, i didn’t realize i had to login explicitely, which is a good thing, btw.

Maybe if the Dalai Lama were broadcast in an equal time slot 24/7 this farce of a poll would have some meaning.

I don’t have an option to turn the channel off on the Dalai Lama, with Glenn beck I do.

USAtoday/gallup poll. That goes a long way to
explain such ridiculousness. And couple that with
a weak educational system that promotes NO
thinking and the msm usual deceptions and
irresponsible reporting, it very well could be but
as with the usatoday/gallup poll, I tend to think it
a sham anyway. More likely an attempt to make
those illiterates think those really worst of the
worse are people they should idolize. I think of it
as ‘forced directional thinking’.

Who comes up with these polls? - ¿ marketing experts ?

morpheus:  your site is super-patriotic, which makes me suspicious right away.  Propaganda won’t get it.  We need sober thinking and the engaging of all the best minds in the country.  Just a quote from Paul Krugman doesn’t do it for me, though I admire his work.  “About us” doesn’t reveal anything significant.  Site needs improvement. Pull it down out of the patriotic clouds. That’s my take.

and two to take him

Yes, we are truly sick…

Hey, I never get asked who I admire! Hell, I’ve never even been polled period! Has anybody out there ever been asked anything? Who are they asking these inane questions to anyhow, huh?

Precisely why we were saddled with George W. Bush for 8 yrs.

I would put Daffy Duck above all of them.

I really hoped this was one of Andy Borowitz’s columns…

Hey, more people admire Billy Graham and Pope Sodomy, er, Pope Benedict, more than Jimmy Carter.  What’s that tell you?

On the plus side, 3 of the 5 women most admired by Americans are Black, so that’s no longer a liability.

Ps:  As for the Dalai Llama, get him a blackboard and see what happens!

Part of the main business of media is to tell us all, all year, whom we “admire” and than at the end of the year count up who among those they chose to “feature” we “admire” the most.  What a scam!

Oh well ... nothin’ better to do.
