When people were asked in an AP-AOL News poll to name the villains and heroes of the year, Bush topped both lists, in a sign of these polarized times.
[...]
In the best celebrity role model category, 29 percent of adults chose talk-show host [Oprah] Winfrey.
Actor George Clooney, who's been advocating for refugees in the war-ravaged Darfur region of Sudan, finished third with 12 percent.
This is just pathetic. Bush probably can't pinpoint Sudan on a map and I'd guess a majority of the 27% of Republicans who say they believe he's the hero of the year have no idea what Clooney is even advocating.
At the top of the worst celebrity category was Britney Spears.
The 25-year-old pop singer and mother of two young sons recently filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, her husband of two years. She then followed with highly publicized nights out with party girls Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, including photographic evidence of Spears wearing no underpants, which raised questions about her fitness as a parent.
Since when did underwear determine one's fitness to be a parent? Would dirty undies make her a slightly better parent than none at all?
