Fox News - What do George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have in common with Adolf Hitler, Usama bin Laden and Charles Manson?...They've been named the "Top 5 worst people of all time" in a yearbook published by a middle school in Russellville, Ark. ...School administrators say they don't know how the former president and vice president ended up in the book, and the school district covered the list with a piece of black tape when parents spotted it after its printing. Still, some parents are outraged. "I'm furious as a parent and as a board member and as a taxpayer and as a resident of Russellville. It's wrong," school board member Chris Cloud, who has two kids in the school district, told Fox affiliate KLRT Fox 16 in Little Rock. Superintendent Randall Williams called the list "an oversight." He expressed surprise when told the tape can be pulled off. "Well that's disappointing because the yearbook supplier told us this was a definite fix," he told Fox 16.
You're damn right the parents are outraged, its a travesty. I mean yea Charles Manson was a horrible person, but top 5 all time? I don't know seems like a bit of a stretch. I mean Stalin and Mussolini can't crack this list? Or if you want to get your antiquities on, how about Nero, I mean the guy is presumed to be the basis for Satan (do yourself a favor and pop over to wikipedia if you have no idea what I'm talking about). But Charles Manson? Yea he's got his place in pop history in this country, but famous killers are a dime a dozen here. If you throw Manson on the list you've got to consider including OJ too, right?
All kidding aside, I had to do a double take when I read this was published in Arkansas, I always figured they were a hardcore conservative state, idolizing the Bush administration, who knew? And give Bush some credit, he never seemed that evil, just mixed up kid who got in a bit over his head, could happen to anyone. Cheney gets no break from me though, pretty sure he was the basis for the Penguin in the Batman series. Evil bastard.
