Picture your favorite public figure slowly sauntering up to your bedside, he kisses you tenderly on the cheek (or whatever you're into)...and so begins your everyday celebrity fantasy -- with Al Gore?

OK, not really. I'm sure the world still finds Brad Pitt more attractive than his Nobel-prize-winning, green political counterpart. However, when asked who they'd prefer to have a chat with, people chose Al Gore over the actor-turned-environmentalist -- hands down.

In a recent survey conducted on behalf of Millstone Fair Trade Coffee, people were asked which "socially responsible personality" they'd most like to have their morning coffee with -- and, apparently, Brad must seem like a pretty dull conversationalist. The results break down like this:

• 20% of respondents wanted to have coffee with Oprah (not shocking)
• 16% would have coffee with Bill Gates
• 15% chose Laura Bush
• 13% picked Al Gore
• a measly 7% chose Brad Pitt. Ouch.

In an effort to get to the bottom of this important anthropological investigation, I've dutifully examined the pros and cons of each candidate's probable morning coffee demeanor, so you, our valued reader, can make an informed decision. Check it out:
