And at the same time, Hillary is also right at the top of the most feared and despised lists!

[traditional1]

Did anyone here get polled? Who answers these questions to make this determination?

[rightinthemiddle]

Bush is most admired man? Wonder why that wasn’t in the headline...

[mtbopfuyn]

Barf-o-rama. I can’t stand Oprah or Hill.

[chiefqc]

The beast and her latest bed toy.

The headline’s true only IF you count Hillary as a female.

[Liberty Valance]

Gallup is shooting for scrappleface status with this one.

Oh my God!... What has this country come to?

I like Oprah. She is black and talented and she has come a long way yes... But the MOST ADMIRED WOMEN in the US? Hu...?

No wonder they talk about the great EXPERIENCE Hillary has in foreign policy... and the idiots believe it!

Have we become such a bunch of morons?

Hillary Clinton Edges Out Oprah Winfrey As Most Admired Woman....

...Which begs the question "Admired by who?"

[Fledermaus]

How much did Hillary pay them to put her on top?

[fortunecookie]

And when I think of how rabidly fanatically supportive no matter what and how vacuous and bleeding heart and easily led sheeple the women of Oprah’s audience are, I get very concerned.

[wbill]

I will add, that while I'm not an Oprah fan, she's a savvy businesswoman and entertainer. It's not easy for anyone to get to where she is.

Whereas Hillary! rode her husband's coattails for 20-odd years, was able to cherry-pick a Senate seat liberal enough to elect her, then was fortunate enough to have her competitor (who, IMHO, would have stomped her) have his campaign scuttled by prostate cancer.

Staying married to Bill must be hard work, but I'd hardly call any of her accomplishments "admirable". Perhaps "Lucky".

BS

I abhor the Oprahization of America, but in any comparison of persons whose lives are considered admirable, Hillary Clinton is not within a parsec of Winfrey. Winfrey has achieved her position, no matter what I think of it, by her own, some say, extraordinary efforts. Clinton has ridden the coattails of her infamous husband and been praised for putting up with his frequent and public peccadiloes. Nothing about her is a result of her own efforts. And this portrayal of her as some feminist achiever is the biggest media con job in American history.
