America’s most admired « Likelihood of Success
Gallup reports — utterly buried in an article about how Hillary Clinton is America’s most admired woman (not the subject of this post) — that none other than President George W. Bush is America’s most admired man. (Via Instapundit.)…How can this be? It is taken as a given in both the mainstream press and in any forum in which the elite express their opinions that President Bush is in fact the most contemptible person on the planet, or at least the stupidest. Nothing to admire about the stupid.
Who are these “Americans” who come to such conclusions? Where are they? Is the Gallup Organization some Cheney thing?
I wouldn’t make that big a deal of it.

• Rev. Billy Graham and former South African president Nelson Mandela, 3%.Gallup says each number has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
Hillary Clinton almost doubles him. So does the total for the three Democrats trailing him.
And then there is this:
