Why, it's George Walker Bush. OMG! According to an AP-AOL poll, Bush is America's first choice as villain of the year:
1. If you were asked to name a famous person to be the biggest villain of the year, whom would you choose?
-George W. Bush, 25 percent
-Osama bin Laden, 8 percent
-Saddam Hussein, 6 percent
-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, 5 percent
-Kim Jong Il, North Korean leader, 2 percent
-Donald Rumsfeld, 2 percent
-John Kerry, 1 percent
Now, in fairness, the same guy topped the list of hero of the year.
2. If you were asked to name a famous person to be the biggest hero of the year, whom would you choose?
-George W. Bush, 13 percent
-Soldiers/troops in Iraq, 6 percent
-Oprah Winfrey, 3 percent
-Barack Obama, 3 percent
-Jesus Christ, 3 percent
-Bono, 2 percent

Well, if anything is clear, it is that we have a serious dearth of heroes. Hell, George Bush at #1?!? And Jesus Christ? He's been dead for 2000 years.
