I will agree with him on these people as being overrated: Justin Bieber, Donald Trump, Prince Harry, Tim Tebow, President Obama's Economic Team, Kate Middleton, Joel Osteen, The Whole NHL, Bill Clinton, and Eminem. And, to some extent, I agree that (flame suit on) Sarah Palin is overrated: Governor for less than one term of a low-population state and losing VP nominee should not warrant this much fame.

But these people are definitely NOT overrated:

Elvis Presley: One of the greatest popular singers of the 20th century (along with Crosby and Sinatra).

Ronald Reagan: Won the Cold War; the most revered figure in the conservative movement.

William Shakespeare: Are you kidding me?? Shakespeare is one of the most important, influential figures in the history of Western Civilization! The most imporant writer in the history of the English language!

Babe Ruth: The greatest baseball player ever, probably the greatest professional athlete ever, his stardom transcended his sport.

Bill Walton: I saw Walton play many times in his prime. Terrific all-around center, one of the best ever, when healthy.

Walton was an odd choice. He played in post segregation and dominated in college and the pros. So playing before blacks played makes you overrated and paying better than blacks makes you overrated?

This guy is a racist.
