2000-the state of Florida
2001-Usama Bin Laden
2002-Colin Powell
2003-
2004-Bush and Rove

From an Aussie Perspective:
2000-The state of Florida
2001-UBL
2002-The Bali Bombers
2003-
2004-Mark Latham

I left 2003 blank on purpose because there were too many bad candidates Cheesy

Bush came closest, imho.
