Bush tops bin Laden, Saddam as villain of the year
WASHINGTON: It has been many months since George W. Bush topped the polls, but the US President has outflanked both Osama bin Laden and former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to seize the dubious honour of the ultimate villain of 2006. If it's any consolation for the beleaguered President, he also managed to take out the AP/AOL News Poll's 2006 hero of the year, albeit by a much smaller margin.
Asked to name the candidate that first came to mind for "biggest villain of the year", Bush won by a landslide, with 25per cent, followed by bin Laden, the al-Qa'ida leader, in second place with 8 per cent. Rounding out the top five villains were Saddam, who is awaiting execution, with 6 per cent; Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 5 per cent, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, 2 per cent -- from the three countries Bush once designated as the "Axis of Evil."
