The Greatest American?

The Discovery Channel ran a competetion for people to vote on who they thought was The Greatest American. Now I know that this is about as important to the grand scheme of things as voting for the next American Idol - actually, American Idol is a whole lot more entertaining. There were some people on the top 100 list that did puzzle me for being considered as the greatest. Dr. Phil, Brett Farve and Michael Jackson? They're GREAT? Actually, what really puzzled me was the person who made the number one spot - Ronald Reagan. People seem to have forgotten about Iran Contra, his do nothing attitude regarding the A.I.D.S. epidemic or his over all ineptitude. They probably are the same people who voted for George Bush last November.
