I'm trying real hard to think who'll be TIME's Person of the Year, |
|
but there just doesn't seem to be anybody who particularly stood out this year.
Can you guys think of anyone?

3. Well they can't wimp the fuck out and go with the American people again...though American Voter |
|
is another cheap alternative.

4. Well, Michael Phelps won some gold medals in China. |
|
Good thing, too, because there are no significant things to report in the world of politics. ;)

5. We all know who it should be, but I'm afraid that it might end up being Sarah Palin. |
|
I could be wrong, and I hope that I am, but Time might be dumb enough to select that idiot washout VP candidate over the first African-American elected POTUS in history.

9. That's because the MSM has it in the bag for Obama. |
|
If the MSM had not been drinking the Obama kool-aid, here are far more qualified candidates for person of the year:
5. George Bush - did the greatest disappearing act for a sitting president in 2008. Where's Waldo? No, where's Dubya?
4. Hank Paulsen - greatest. con artist. ever. 700 billion dollar scam for a phony "bad mortgage" buy-out plan.
3. Billary - came back from the dead, tanned and well-rested.
2. Nancy Pfotenhauer - the first artificial intelligence pundit ever. So life-like, you could hardly tell that she wasn't human. The only give-away was that fake smile etched permanently onto her robotic face.
1. Sarah Palin. Who else? An absolute phenomenon. Instantaneous world popularity. Instant cultural icon. If you don't lover her, you love to hate her. Hands down the turkey of the year in 2008.

16. I do wonder about the 'B' woman. I wonder who put her up to |
|
that scheme or if she came up with it on her own.
I wonder what locked psychiatric unit she's in at the moment, and what powerful sedative/hypnotics she's being treated with.

17. the turkey that got slaughtered behind Sarah Palin |
|
a maverick patriot, willing to die for its country in order to visually illustrate just how insane Palin really is.
