Governor Schwarzenegger topped the naughty list for slashing funds forsteelhead and salmon restoration and proposed closings of California staterecreation areas. Worst of all, according to the magazine, he'll "be back" in2009. Russian Prime Minter Vladimir Putin, R&B singer Bobby Brown and CBS NewsSunday Morning contributor Nancy Giles were also on the Villain list, butconsidered lesser offenders than Governor Schwarzenegger.

Two politicians did make the magazine's Hero list: New York SenatorCharles Schumer, who backed a Farm Bill measure that created grants forfarmers and opened land to hunters; and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who waslauded for being the first true hunter to run for executive office since TeddyRoosevelt. Lambert, who topped the Hero list, earned points for being aserious hunter, writing songs about deer hunting and donating game to Huntersfor the Hungry. Actor Kevin Costner, Pro Golfer Boo Weekley and Actress ElizaDushku also made the Hero list.
