Greatest American: Update

Well the votes are in and we only ended up with three very questions selections.

"Dubyah", Bill "Here have my cigar" Clinton, and Oprah Cow all made the top ten. Yes, that's the top ten all-time greatest Americans. Excuse me...I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Rosa Parks??? She didn't even have enough money to buy a damn car. All she f-ing did was sit on a bus.

Here is my note to Discovery.com about this list:

I'm writing in response to the Top 100 Greatest Americans list you posted. Can you tell me what the criteria was for selection? Also, who were the people submitting the nominations and can you reveal who each of these individuals nominated? In looking at the list you published, I cannot imagine how a great deal of these individuals could possibly be on it. Possibly, having access to this information might help me understand the logic behind something that seems like it has none

Michael Jackson? He is a child molester. How can he possibly be on this list? I know he was not proven guilty in court, however, neither was OJ and we all know he is guilty

Brett Favre? Yes, he is a great football player, but not even the greatest football player

Madonna? She's a great entertainer, but does that make her a great American? Only if being a skank is one of your criterion

If this was a no-name organization providing this list, I would not have given this a second thought, however, since I thought of you in a class above this type of publicity, I felt compelled to ask the question. Please help me understand how this list originated.
