Dick Cheney is more popular than Paris Hilton!
Mr. Vice President, you are...

Less popular than singer Michael Jackson, bedmate of little boys and world-class screwball. One in four Americans -- 25 percent -- told Gallup polltakers last June they were still Jackson fans after the onetime King of Pop was found not guilty of child molesting.

Less popular than former football star O.J. Simpson was after his arrest and trial for murdering his estranged wife and her companion. Three in 10 -- 29 percent -- of all Americans had a favorable view of Simpson in an October, 1995 Gallup poll.

Less popular with Americans than Joseph Stalin is with Russians. In 2003, fully 20 percent said Stalin, blamed for millions of deaths in the former Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s, was a "wise and humane" leader. Thirty-one percent also said they wouldn't object if Uncle Joe came back to rule again, according to surveys conducted by Russian pollsters.

Much less popular than former Vice President Spiro Agnew in his final days in office. Forty-five percent approved of the job that Agnew was doing as President Richard Nixon's veep in a Gallup Poll conducted in August 1973, little more than a month before Agnew resigned and pleaded no contest to a criminal tax evasion charge arising from a bribery investigation.

But...

Even at 18 percent you're not the least popular public figure in America. You're slightly better liked than that fabulously blond and brainless party girl Paris Hilton. She was viewed favorably last June by 15 percent of the public, according to Gallup.

2. Paris is such an illiterate airhead I'm surprised her parents
didn't lock her in a dungeon to avoid the incredible embarrassment she must bring to her family. If she had to work for a living, I'm not sure she would qualify to work at a fast food joint selling freedom fries.

3. How many people has Paris Hilton killed with illegal invasions?
I have absolutely no use for the lady, but I would rather see her in whatever it is she does then have to watch Cheney or *. Both of them make me literally sick to my stomach.
