"no human should be an "icon" - just a bit blasphemous, IMHO."

Perhaps you find the historic use of the name Veronica blasphemous too. You need to become more educated before you become so offended. The word "icon" is derived from the Greek word eikon meaning image and has no religious symbolism then or now. A religous symbol whould have been called a "vera eikon" meaning "true image", hence the name Veronica.

In modern usage icon simply means a representative symbol for anything. Limbaugh is considered an icon both by his greatest supporters and his harshest critics.
