So far, this is the only defeat bush has had over Osama, he's LESS popular, and MORE reviled than the number one wanted criminal on Earth.

When people were asked to name the candidate that first came to mind for "biggest villain of the year," Bush won by a landslide, with 25%, followed by bin Laden, the fugitive Al Qaida leader, in second place with 8%.

Rounding out the top five villains were Saddam, who is awaiting execution, with 6%; Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 5%, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il , 2% — from the three countries Bush once designated as the "Axis of Evil."

In the polling for "biggest hero of the year" 13% named Bush as their favourite, while 6% chose the US troops in Iraq. The other top choices were TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

Senator Barack Obama, a possible Democratic presidential contender, and Jesus Christ — each with 3 %. Bush was the choice of 43% of Democrats for villain of the year, and 27% of Republicans for hero.

2. But of course.....

Bush will choose to believe the 13% "hero" title and completely ignore the 25% "villain" title. The 25% who voted for "villain" will be characterized as "dead-enders" or a "focus group" while the 13% who thinks Bush is a "hero" will be heralded as the pulse of Americans everywhere. Why let little things like facts stand in the way of Bush's quest for a positive legacy?
