a lot of those people on taht list are really non-fascinaing so I'm not sure what CNN's definition of the word is.

Since I don't see Ronald Reagan on the list, my bet is on him being #1

I have to agree with this. Considering Reagan befriended Saddam (sold him weapons to boot), sold weapons to the iranians and use those funds to give to terrorists (iran/contra scandal), and was personally responsible for murdering central and south americans by ordering the military to help train 'death squads', how on earth could Reagan be left off the list? He's certainly one of the most fascinating presidents ever.

Edit: Oh and lets not forget how reagan courageously withdrew marines from lebanon after the marine barracks were bombed. Truly an american hero.

these lists are always dumb. This is no exeception. Actually that guy who invented segway is more interesting than most of these putzes.

I sensed a little bit of hostility sprinkled in there. I could be mistaken.

Sounds like the best guess, considering the rest of the top 10. 🙂
