Michael Jackson 'Most Foolish American' for fourth straight year

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Faded pop superstar Michael Jackson was crowned as America's most foolish person in 2006, narrowly beating out trigger-happy US Vice President Dick Cheney for the title.

***

Cheney tied with US hotel heiress and socialite Paris Hilton for second place in Barge's seventh annual April Fool's poll, with 59 percent of Americans saying that they had done "something foolish" in the past year.

The vice president became the focus of a media firestorm and the butt of a barrage of jokes after he accidentally shot an elderly friend in the face and neck with a shotgun while quail hunting last month.

Cheney's boss, President George W. Bush came in third in the 2006 survey, with 57 percent of those polled saying he had done something foolish.

Bush had received a foolishness rating of only 48 percent in the 2001, meaning that Americans believe he has become 19 percent more foolish since then, Barge said.

US movie star Tom Cruise snatched fourth place in the survey, entering its ranks for the first time after leaping on television talk show queen Oprah Winfrey's sofa while expressing his love for his fiancee, Katie Holmes.

1. I can't believe Michael Jackson beat these two. How many

people have MJ shot? How many people have died for MJ's decisions. How many people are out of jobs because of MJ? He looks sane and normal next to these two.

3. Surprised me, too

MJ is a child molester working locally. Dickhead and Chimpy are murderers working globally. No contest.

Or maybe the polling got freeped somehow....

2. I thought he was #1 in the poles ..........
