Sleepy trumps Clarence?

with 2 comments

 

77% of Americans surveyed were able to name at least 2 of Snow White’s 7 Dwarfs, compared to only 24% who could name at least 2 of th 9 Supreme Court Justices.  The most remember dwarf was Sleepy.  Clarence Thomas was the justice named most often.  (source:  Zogby Int’l.)

I laughed when Tim shared this statistic with me this morning.  If I hadn’t, I would have cried.

  1. Well perhaps they were referring to Justice Thomas as Dopey. If so, that would restore a teeny tiny bit of my faith in the general public.

  2. Based on her well document dozing during Supeme Court sessions, I would think that people would be thinking of Ginsburg when they named “Sleepy”!
