5. So why is Bush on the same list
With the likes of:

Humanitarians
Civil Rights Leaders
Poets/Writers
Heroic Leaders
Philanthropists
Innovators
Sports Legends
Peace Advocates
Abolishonists... etc..

What does he have in common with any of these people? Nada.
Oprah, although I disagree with her inability to speak truth to power, I respect her philanthropic work and her support of the arts, especially African and African American arts.

6. How the hell could Chimpy make this list?
Even the people who voted for him in November don't even like him any more.

11. exactly why i feel like throwing this one.
i was watching Matt Lauer on Daily Show's rerun last night, and even Matt was puzzled by how come Brett Favre beat out Jon Stewart on the list. Or Dr Phil beat out Mr. Rogers....then he slipped out it was on AOL and I said to my roomamte oh that explains a lot.
