Gallup apparently asks Americans which man and woman they "most admire" every year. In other words, the current president and Hillary Clinton, the most important-sounding people. But the breakdown is interesting: Most admired man: 1. Barack Obama 2. George W. Bush
It looks to me like the Gallup organization not only made this poll open-ended, but let the participants decide what the poll was going to be, too, and they didn't put too much energy into their answer. Watch next week's press releases for "Americans' Favorite Color: Surprising New Results."
Dubya is the second most admired by Gallup's Americans? This proves my theory that you can read My Pet Goat while the country is under attack, invade the wrong country, fuck up the economy, go to a fund raiser while people drown in New Orleans, do most of the things King George did before the Revolution (including torture) ... do all those things, and still be admired.
