I wouldn't really expect Doug to post statistics that didn't show George W. Bush as the absolute cat's pajamas, but then since he says it's newsworthy, let's take a look at it. HERE, by the way, is a link.

First of all, there is this:—

The incumbent president is almost always the most admired man in such polls, but it's not uncommon for the first lady not to be the most admired woman.

So that comes as no surprise. But then, there is this:—

Sen. Clinton, was named by 16 percent, while talk show host Oprah Winfrey was picked by 7 percent, first lady Laura Bush by 6 percent and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice by 4 percent.

Considering the abuse and invective that almost all conservatives, many liberals, and the press in general heaps on Hillary, to me that is what's newsworthy. Methinks she wields a lot more influence with a lot more people than folks give her credit for.

But then again, it was a poll of 1,004 people. It's going to take a few more than 261 people (1004 x 29%, rounding off the 1/16th of a person) to put Bush back into office—barring brother Jeb and Katherine Harris and Diebold voting machines, of course.
