SHOCK JOCK VOTED BEST BABYSITTER

Strip jock Dr. Laura and liar Prez considered untrustworthy in Internet poll

NEW YORK, New York -- In an online poll in the Velocity NYC e-zine, 1,375 respondents were asked "Who would you trust as a babysitter?" The choices were President Clinton, Dr. Laura and Howard Stern.

The majority of Americans polled chose Stern as the person they'd trust most with their children, as he captured the popular vote with 54%. Scandal plagued Dr. Laura followed close behind with 42% of the vote, and President Clinton tallied an appalling 4%.

"I voted for Howard Stern because, while his show is raunchy, he's a good dad and devoted husband," said Anthoula Vokolos of Astoria, Queens. "And above all, (he) is always honest to his listeners, his critics, and his supporters."

While Dr. Laura has been embroiled in her nude photo scandal and the President has taken hits for his lack of character and integrity, the resounding choice for America was Howard Stern. Some people still care about family values and morality.
