So who does America look to in times of troubles?

According to the Harris Poll, which gathered data online from Americans over the age of 18 with an open-ended survey, the heroes list was topped by Barack Obama, Jesus Christ, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

That's good company the new Prez is in!

Those three were followed by, in descending order, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, John McCain, John F. Kennedy, Chesley Sullenberger, and Mother Teresa.

John McCain did not appreciate his visit to The View last year, despite Hasselbitch's undying devotion.

Barbara Walters encountered the Senator at a recent dinner in Washington, D.C.

Babs recounts, "When we walked out and I saw him I said, 'Senator, so nice to see you. I hope you'll come on The View again.' And he looked at me and said, 'Not anytime soon.'"

We're sure he meant to say, "Not on your life, bitch," but it probably would have made Barbara explode and that would have ruined the dinner for everyone.

Rumor has it Elizabitch cried herself to sleep upon hearing the news.

Eva Longoria was on hand to cheer for her husband, Tony Parker, at the NBA All Star game in Phoenix, AZ, on Sunday.

The Desperate Housewife was seated courtside next to Arizona senator/former presidential candidate John McCain and his wife, Cindy.

Look at Mrs. McCain's gaze!

She just oozes Stepford!

Johnnyboy totally wears the pants (and the strao-on) in this relationship!

Cindy McCain was apparently in talks with Dancing with the Stars' producers just before Thanksgiving to appear next season, but this week, the former presidential candidate put the kibosh on the negotiations.

Insiders say that Cindy really, really wanted to do it too!

Oh, sure, Johnny. You were allowed to pursue your dream, but little Stepford can't?

Not fair!

Cindy on Dancing would've been brills!!

She probably knows the dim-witted moose hunter was one of the reasons why her daddy lost his White House bid!

When outspoken politicospawn Meghan McCain was asked about Sarah Palin in an interview on Monday, she answered:

"Sarah Palin is the only part of the campaign that I won’t comment on publicly.”

Meghan, if you're reading this, give us a buzz.

Let's privately discuss what you think about the new granny!

Megs went on to rave about her love, burlesque queen Dita Von Teese. She calls Miz Von Teese, "spectacular" and said that she has Dita's book on her coffee table.

Will we be seeing you in a martini glass one of these days, Meghan?

It's not over yet!

Former Republican prez candidate Johnny McCain is going to run for a 5th Senate term.

His current term ends in 2010, but he and his senior advisers decided Tuesday night to form a political action committee to prepare for his reelection.

We think that's just fine.

Just as long as Sexy Sarah stays far far away from him!

Poor John McCain.

It must be tough having to go out and lie to everyone!

Tuesday night, McCain was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for his first interview since losing the presidential election, and he had some interesting things to say.

Like the fact that McCain believes Sarah Palin didn't cost him the election.

We agree, she probably didn't cost him the entire election, but she was definitely a reason why some MANY people were hesitant to vote for him!

McCain said, "I'm so proud of her and I'm very grateful she agreed to run with me. She inspired people, she still does. I couldn't be happier with Sarah Palin."

He did add, "I could tell you a lot of things that we may have made mistakes on," but never went on to list them.

Mistake #1: Getting tricked into choosing Sarah Palin for VP.

And in reference to anonymous top officials disclosing Palin's outrageous shopping sprees, McCain said, "I think I have at least a thousand, quote, top advisers. A top adviser said? … I've never even heard of … a top adviser or a high-ranking Republican official."

He didn't directly address the wardrobe issue.

McCain then added about Palin, "The people were very excited and inspired by her. That's what really mattered, I think. She's a great reformer."

And when Leno asked if he would run again in 2012 when he'll be 76, McCain admitted, "I wouldn't think so. We are going to have another generation of leaders come along."

This is just too good to be true!!!

A witness snapped photos of Cindy McCain trading smooches with a fellow who was not hubby and ex-prez candidate John, who is Cindy's senior by 18 years.

Uh-oh.

Losing an election because you shot yourself in the foot can really put a strain on your personal relationships.

The spy said he could not believe his eyes as he watched Cindy lock lips with a dude he describes to the National Enquirer as a "washed-up 80s rock star."

The pair have actually been spotted at a few concerts and sporting events in Arizona, canoodling away. These grainy pictures were taken at the Tempe Music Festival. Another witness caught them making out at a Moody Blues concert.

Sounds like some Nights in White Satin!

A McCain spokesperson declined to comment altogether, which makes us positively giddy with gossip.

It's true the photos are pretty low quality, but just look at the hair!

Sarah Palin is still trying to stay in the public's eye and she's attacking her own political party!

Palin recently spoke to the Anchorage Daily News and stated that she and John McCain lost because the Republican ticket “represented too much of the status quo.”

She continued by saying that it was President George W. Bush's administration that ruined the the GOP brand, adding that it was "amazing" the McCain camp did as well as they did.

We agree. With Palin as his running mate, we're surprised they kept it as close they did for as long as they did!

Palin says, “I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?”

And the intelligent Palin added, “If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented, and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing. So people desiring change, I think, went as far from the administration that is presently seated as they could. It's amazing that we did as well as we did.”

She also adds that she was "frustrated" at all the misinformation the media spread about her and her family.

Palin says, “Some of the goofy things, like who was Trig's mom. Well, I'm Trig's mom, and do you want to see my medical records to prove that? And banning books. That was a ridiculous thing also that could have so easily been corrected just by a reporter taking an extra step and not basing a report on gossip or speculation."

So, on to the important question. Will Palin run for President in 2012?

Palin didn't specifically confirm the news when asked, but she did mention that polls often switch.

Saying, “Look how fickle poll numbers are. Look where I've gone, up and down, up and down, even in the state of Alaska the last couple of months. We can't pay attention to those numbers.”

Let's just hope people aren't stupid enough to elect her as a candidate for 2012.
