I find this extremely interesting. I am somewhat confused as to how they got ranked in that order. SEAN HANNITY is #40 and POPE BENEDICT XVI is #44? Does the producer of this list really think that Sean Hannity(as much as I like him), is really more influential than the Pope?
It makes it a little suspect to me and I am not Catholic.
I think it's because nobody even heard about the present Pope before he became Pope. If you're not known, you don't have much influence except the areas of the country you are known in. Sean Hannity is well known in the United States and even overseas. Give Pope Benedict time, he'll make his presence known soon enough.
