Screw their criteria. Nominate your own and tell people who disagree that they are stupid.

I'm going with:
U.S. Grant
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Elvis Presley
Dwight Eisenhower
Burt Reynolds.

GO!

I haven't seen their list, but here are the foirst that come to my mind:
Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Malcom X
Florence Nightengale
Clara Barton
Benjamin Franklin
Lenny Bruce
William Jefferson Clinton (politics be damned, he came from a poor, single-parent home and worked his ass off to become a Rhodes Scholar, Governor, and (IMO) damn fine president)
