  It's not surprising that something like that would occur. Wasn't it hosted by that media whore bully, Matt Lauer?
  Ronald Reagan, eh? Hrm, obviously that whole bloodshed business in Central America is thought of as a great moment. Maybe the continued rise of corporate cronyism and a demolished economy stuck in people's minds when they voted. Or maybe it was the tons of crack cocaine smuggled into the inner cities by the CIA? Who knows?
  
  George W. Bush at number 6? Okay, this is even more insulting. This mindless killer would deserve that ranking on a different list ( dumbest world leaders, greatest tyrants, etc. ).
  I pray that this whole batch of miserable degenerates will one day be remembered as a scourge of American history that almost completely destroyed everything this country stands for, if they haven't already. God, I hate this man and anyone - anyone - who supports him. I hate that I am so struck with anger whenever I see some person in front of me with a Bush/Cheney sticker on their vehicle. I know it's small and juvenile to hate these people but this administration is destroying this country. Okay, enough Bush ranting.
  
  As far as greatest American goes . . . . hrm . . . my vote would have to go to Louis Armstrong. Seems like a good vote.

  Yes, but it's important to remember that Miles Davis himself said that no horn player had played anything that Louis Armstrong hadn't. Not to mention Miles Davis was a straight bastard. In the end no one is perfect but Miles was a real bastard; and I love the man's music.
  
  In a way, I just don't think there is such a thing as greatest American. If there is one, it's most likely a person we have never heard of who was kept quiet by our increasingly oppressive society. Ah, I'm being a curmudgeon again. Sorry about that.
