For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone could admire that woman.

I think for some people it is simple... she lacks a certain apendage and she's in the news.

Would you mind pasting the list in here? I do everything I can to avoid giving CNN any site hits.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- George W. Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton are finally on the same ticket -- the most admired man and woman in America, according to a poll released Monday.

The Republican president and the Democratic senator from New York and former first lady won't be found on the same sides of many political issues. But they're both seen in a favorable light by the American public.

When people were asked to name the man they admire the most, Bush was picked by 29 percent. Secretary of State Colin Powell and Pope John Paul II were named by 4 percent and former President Clinton was named by 3 percent, according to the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll.

Sen. Clinton, was named by 16 percent, while talk show host Oprah Winfrey was picked by 7 percent, first lady Laura Bush by 6 percent and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice by 4 percent.

The poll asked an "open-ended question," meaning respondents were allowed to offer any names that came to mind. For both the most-admired man and most-admired woman, the remainder of votes were spread among a wide variety of individuals.

The incumbent president is almost always the most admired man in such polls, but it's not uncommon for the first lady not to be the most admired woman.

The poll of 1,004 adults was taken December 5-7 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Me too! It may be latent mad cow disease?

[Redbob]

It is sufficient for me to know that this is CNN's list of "most admired" people, so I expect there'd be few there whom I admire.

This?



Friends

A little Springer Spaniel,
Who follows him around.
Speaks volumes of his nature,
No better judge is found.
When dogs like you, you’re someone,
Not just an empty suit.
The love you give a faithful dog,
Will always bear you fruit.
If you like dogs that says a lot,
About the soul you bear.
But when the love’s a two way street,
The partnership is fair.
The bond is strong and touching,
Between this man and friend.
God Bless George Bush and Spotty,
To them this poem I send.

[glock rocks]

[princess leah]

The poll was taken in NYC - I'm guessing here...

"For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone could admire that woman."

Bear in mind that the average American voter is as dumb as a turkey dropping.

What they did NOT show... #1 President Bush 29% .. .. .. .. .. ?? #?? Hillary clinton 16% Where hillary MAY have been #1 of their list of women, WHERE did she fall into the entire list? did her hubby outrate her?

[LisaMalia]

Here's what I don't understand. In these days of political correctness, why not just have "the most admired person", which would have been President Bush. They just had to find a way to get "her nastiness" in there somehow.

[steplock]

Hmmm it didn't print the line spaces the first time..I had to add the < br >

What they did NOT show...

#1 President Bush 29%

Good question. CNN seems to have conveniently left that out. I can't find the complete list.
