I find them deeply confusing. If I'm guessing at the methodology correctly, the percentages represent the sum of those who were chosen "most admired" and those who were chosen "second-most admired". Okay so far.

But the sum for the top ten women is 40%, and for the top ten men is 36%. This means the other 60+% were distributed (at 1% or less for each) among a possibly very large number of other unnamed persons.

There must be at least another 60 men and 60 women who got a fraction of a percent. Who were these people? Why don't they get air time along with Laurabush and Pootie?

This is like the anti-Pareto distribution. Talk about your long tail.

Sarah Palin twice as popular as Elizabeth Warren. Talk about low information voters.

No love for Doctor Ron Paul and Doctor Rand Paul? I think the respondents believe Ben Carson is the patriarch of The Ponderosa.

"If only there were a way to keep these stupid people from voting."

--GOP leadership, just prior to inventing "voter fraud".

I take a lot of satisfaction from the top 3 on both lists. Palin being "mentioned" by a whopping 2% is pretty cool, in a country where 25% still think Dumbya was the bestest preznit ever.

Kinda interesting how many furriners made the top ten: Malala, Angelina, Kate, Pope, Hawking, Netanyahu and (of course) Obama. Also, Michelle Obama is listed with the women when the internet has proven she's a man. Wake up sheeple.

Toonces the cat has killed less people than Laura. I think she's been on so much Xanax the past 15 years she can't drive and has to be buckled in by the Secret Service.
