28. I agree, but the poll is an impressive list, 8 of the 10 I didn't know were his.

Frankly, I had not ever really gotten past thinking of him as Meathead, even though in the past few years his profile for me was more raised for being a good Lib spokesperson. I've seen the scene from Harry/Sally ("I'll have what she's having" ) a brazilion times, but never saw the movie or the others except Misery. Since the Princess Bride runs on a LOOP I've started to watch it a couple or three times and could NOT get into it. Fell asleep back when, when a friend brought A Few Good Men over. Without even having his name attached to such an illustrious list, I was never drawn to any of them (except Misery). Wow, what a career!1 I'm still not drawn.


As for being good Libs, I'm grateful and glad for them, but when he and Joy BEHAR are talking politics on cable, I don't find them scintillating or insightful, just repeating the news about as well of most of us.
