Sarah Palin should be given all the credit for popularizing the phrase. Her glamor and beauty created a lot of media attention and fan following (read Zardari). She unintentionally but successfully executed the “McCain should never be a President campaign” with her natural chutzpah and lack of sensitiveness. Her degree of knowledgeability always proved that she never was worth a running mate.

9. Michael Phelps
This Aqua Torpedo ruled the Fourth Estate undoubtedly for the month of August.Newspapers’ favorite son is the undisputed champion of Swimming in this year’s Beijing Olympics. This Hip-Hop loving Swimming sensation broke all the records and overtook Mark Spitz’s record tally.

8. Batman and Joker

Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?
A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction honey.

Q: But the inspectors didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction.
A: That’s because the Iraqis were hiding them.

Q: And that’s why we invaded Iraq?
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.

Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?
