George W. Bush on the other hand, depending on which instance of the George
W. Bush MySpace profile you choose has a range of 7 to 9,373 friends.
http://www.myspace.com/presidentgeorgewalkerbush = 7

More importantly, as far as Osama goes his MySpace profile does have only 1

silly.

Couldn't help noticing in Oct 24 NY Times that 12,888 people have
"friended" Hillary Clinton.
My spies tell me that only 1 person has "friended" George W. Bush.
But that person, of course, is Osama Bin Ladin!
As George says, quality beats quantity.
And I am having a silly day.
