NEW YORK, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump, Oil, Halliburton, George W. Bush, the United States, Kobe Bryant and Religious Fanatics all top the list in the Third Annual Dilbert Weasel Awards Poll. Over 43,000 Dilbert fans and devotees to the democratic system voted on Dilbert.com to determine once and for all, who is the Weaseliest in '04.

Scott Adams created the Weasel Award Poll in 2002 to give his fans a chance to rate some of the wide-spread weasel behavior of the year. Based on the sharp, funny, and frighteningly true theories outlined in his book, Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel (HarperBusiness), the Dilbert Weasel Awards Poll invited Dilbert fans to vote for the weaseliest individuals and organizations of 2004 on Dilbert.com. Winners of the poll are announced by Adams today and the results may surprise some people.

Commenting on this year's poll, Adams says, "The results of the third annual unscientific Weasel Poll are in, and frankly it's a little embarrassing because I belong to one of the winning groups -- America. At least Canada will be pleased."
