[edbermac]

1. It is a beautiful cover though

Actually, it's Person...this is twice for Bush...just like Joe Stalin!

[Nothing Without Hope]

13. Love it, but it needs to look more stupid and brutish

...with maybe a lake of blood and murdered children in the background. Hmmmm.....and perhaps a crown, he'd like that.

[jasmeel]

2. Now Bush can finally be compared to Hitler!!

9. Freepers still have 56%. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

14. Down to 54% with 1936 votes cast (n/t)

[genius]

23. 53% now.

[alwynsw]

3. Like it or not

as I understand it, the Person of the Year is chosen for his/her/Its (remember, the computer got the tag once) is based upon the recipient's influence on the world, be it good or bad. I doubt there's anyone else that comes close to * for world influence in the past year.

[seaj11]

8. Shouldn't it be a GOOD influence?

Although honestly I don't know who I would pick. It wouldn't be Bush, though.

[Sparkly]

15. Yeah, sometimes the POY is a POS

but the accompanying copy ("American Revolutionary," yadda yadda yadda) is really disgusting. :puke:

4. Time Magazine = World's Biggest Suck-ups!

[wtmusic]

5. It goes a little beyond sucking up

AOL/Time/Warner is also the media conglom with the largest contribution to the GOP.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Agreed.....lip sista! It's unadulterated Bullshit and propaganda

Time Magazine is owned by Time-Warner, who also owns CNN who is part of the cable cartel that fixed our primaries, trashed Kerry and protected their native son, Bush to this day.

Guess the election is over and Time-Warner (parent Co. of CNN) has settled on paying the SEC 510 Million dollars as a settlement stemming from the Income Stock/advertising AOL fraud case that the Gov. has been hanging over their heads for the last 1.5 years.

The selection of Bush as Person of the Year is probably the difference between Time-Warner paying 510 million vs. 4 billion for the fraud it committed. Costly deal...but what's a multinational media corporation to do when the Governmnet has you by the balls?

To be honest, I don't give a rat's ass that Time Magazine selected *; nor what Time Magazine thinks; nor what they report. It's all bullshit and propaganda anyways. I'll leave it up to the Sheeples to find this "person of the year" turd food to be interesting and thought provoking.

Time Warner Settles AOL Fraud Charges
Thu Dec 16, 7:55 AM ET
Media giant Time Warner Inc. agreed Wednesday to pay $510 million to settle government charges of accounting fraud at its troubled America Online unit, freeing the company to use its stock for acquisitions.

settlement would remove the uncertainty clouding the future of the world's largest entertainment company accused by regulators of inflating the advertising revenue of its Internet service provider.

Wall Street had been expecting a deal, because Time Warner set aside $500 million last month to resolve problems with the government. Time Warner stock has climbed more than 15% since.

The two-pronged agreement would be with both the Justice Department (news - web sites) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (news -web sites). It must be approved by SEC commissioners.

Wall Street analysts had been prepared a year ago for the accounting debacle to cost Time Warner as much as $4 billion in penalties and litigation. But Chief Executive Richard Parsons took a hard stance with regulators, refusing to admit guilt even though that might have more quickly resolved the investigations.

7. The title is, in ignorance, assumed to be an honor.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Time Magazine, in ignorance, is assumed to be an unbiased

magazine and news source.

Well, Surprise to all the trusting souls! It ain't.

We've been more than just set-up, we've been played.

I am sure that Bush and Rove are somewhere yucking it up....

12. The AP story can be read here -- gag me with a spoon!

NEW YORK - After winning re-election and "reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style," President George Bush for the second time was chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Year.

(snip)

In an interview with the magazine, Bush attributed his victory over Democratic candidate John Kerry to his foreign policy and the wars he began in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"The election was about the use of American influence," Bush said.

(snip)

Asked on ABC's "This Week" how Bush reacted when he learned of Time's decision, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card said the president was "not worried about what pundits might be saying."

Card praised Bush as a "great liberator" for the people of Afghanistan and Iraq and lauded Bush's tax cuts, education and Medicare reform packages and plans to remake Social Security.

16. shouldn't that be a "great repugnicator"?

I thought they hated anything 'librul'?

[Higans]

25. Funny I don't remember * being elected the first time.

He should have atributed his victory to the Blind sleepy trance that the population is in which enabled him to trick most of them in to thinking he counted their votes.
