CNN's Top 25: Fascinating people

[pg22]

I think I would expected John Paul II to be number one on that list. I was most suprised by Ayatollah at #3. I guess since I wasn't born then, I can't grasp the gravity of the situation.

I see this is the "most fascinating people of the last quarter-century."

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

I noticed he wasn't on there, but how on earth could he, of all people, be #1?

At our mother's funeral last year, the minister actually spent a long time talking about Ronald Reagan and blessing him because he had just died, too. It did not go over well :roll:

George W. Bush is about as interesting as a brick.

Liberal Democrats?

thought so...

Regardless of partisan politics, can you really say with a straight face that President Bush is fascinating, let alone one of the most fascinating men in modern history? More fascinating than bin Laden?

That makes about as much sense as a Democrat saying Michael Dukakis or Walter Mondale are fascinating.

The whole list is more or less completely stupid as far as I can see, anyway.

George Bush reminds me a lot more of Dan Quayle than Dukakis or Mondale.

Well I suppose the "interest" is that he is where he is, despite logic, despite ethics, and to the shock or amusement of a large part of the world? It's interesting to see what worlds will stumble out of his mouth, what weird expressions he will make, and (in a morbid sense) what terrifying policy decisions might be in the pipeline 😛

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.

Thanks for adding flamebait to what was an interesting thread. :disgust: RR happened to have an impact on that entire cold war thing as well, but let's not let thoughts of nuclear winter interfere with your "issue of the day".

That may be; he is still not fascinating. Saddam is far more interesting, as are either of his psychotic sons. Other than being pres what's interesting about bush? That he's a runner? Well I didn't see him throwing big expensive parties and shooting a machine gun off while scaring his 'friends'. That's interesting.
