Vote for The Big Dawg on "100 Greatest Americans"
Edited on Sun Jun-05-05 10:12 PM by gmoney
You know the freeps are going to be dialing like mad for *, so if you want to DU the results, consider toll-free calling 1-866-669-3105 or text message CLINTON to 66931 (your text rates apply). I think you can go to AOL.com and vote if you're an AOL member or http://tv.channel.aol.com/greatestamerican

This voting narrows down the top 25 to the top 5, and I'd hate to see * or Reagan in there without the Big Dawg growlin' behind him. Might as well vote for FDR & JFK, too...

It's a stupid poll... Lance Armstrong? Oprah? W? I'm surprise Spongebob isn't on their list... damn Discover channel.

Oh, and to make matters worse, Dennis Miller is one of next weeks' hosts.

The top 25 list...
Muhammad Ali
Lance Armstrong
Neil Armstrong
Commander Cuckoo Bananapants
Pres. Bill Clinton
Walt Disney
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Henry Ford
Benjamin Franklin
Bill Freakin' Gates
Billy Freakin' Graham
Bob Hope
Thomas Jefferson
John F. Kennedy
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Abraham Lincoln
Rosa Parks
Elvis Presley
Ronald Freakin' Reagan
Eleanor Roosevelt
Franklin Roosevelt
George Washington
Oprah Freakin' Winfrey
Wright Brothers

1. I can't I used my quota for this week
I did FDR, MLK and Abraham Lincoln. Don't get me wrong I love the Big Dawg but I don't think he is the greatest American ever.

2. Neither do I, really, but I'd hate to see W there without Bill.

Hell, it'll probablly be Oprah in a landslide, as Michael Moore would predict.

Good point. You get 3 votes per week, allegedly, but probably based on IP address, and originating phone number, so if you're really feeling "American Idol" about all this, you could vote from home, work, your friends' homes, etc.

3. I can see Oprah winning in a landslide over the people who have
actually done something important.
