One Of These Is Not Like The Others

As Digby notes, Gallup's most influential man of 2009 was Barack Obama, who got 30% of the vote.  The problem is, in a poll where Obama, Nelson Mandela, the Pope and yes, even Dubya are rubbing shoulders, there's one guy in there who should scare the hell out of you.

Glenn Beck got fourth.

Nelson Mandela only gets one point higher than Beck --- who's tied with the pope?

No Limbaugh, no Hannity, no O'Reilly. Beck.

That actually freaks me out a little bit.

You're not the only one.  Dubya I can understand.  Even Dick Cheney I can see getting a percentage point or two. Limbaugh?  Sure.

But Glennsanity?  Really, America?  Of all the living men on Earth, he ranked number 4?

Oh, and if you're keeping score at home, Zandar's with Zandardad on this one:  Dr. Steven Hawking.
