Former President George W. Bush gets more blame for the country’s economic troubles than his successor or the Democrats who control Congress, according to a Harris poll out Wednesday.

Republicans were also split when asked to identify the most powerful figure in the GOP.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney rated highest with 14 percent, but he was swamped by the 44 percent of respondents who were either “not sure” or would have picked someone other than the eight Republicans listed.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin finished second among Republicans with 13 percent. She was trailed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader John Boehner and House Minority

"All you stoopid Americans proles need to understand that the present day Screwed-Pooch Economy is actually the fault of The Clenis. If he and the Dems hadn't left us such a booming economy and a humongous, fat, juicy SURPLUS, me and my Cabal O' Chickenhawk Republicon Cronies -- including TuffGuy Dickie 'Five-Military-Deferments' Cheney -- would not have, um, um, well...whatever. Sneer. Smirk."

3. Don't you actually need a job to wield power?

Mitt, Sarah, and Newt are all powerless in my book, though Sarah can control 15% of the populace, so in that way she has some power.

Rush is the real powerholder in that party. And Hannity and Beck.
