Did Geraldine Ferraro, a minor backbencher in congress, go on to campaign sucessfully for scores of other candidates, write a national bestseller, influence legistlation with a note, and etc?

Moochelle is most likely more powerful in the cheeseburger eating arena.

The author's argument, as I understand it, is that Hillary Clinton should run away with this thing, with Palin as a distant second and Michelle Obama somewhere past Lady GaGa but before Ellen Degeneres.

I think Sarah Palin is going to be the equivalent of a modern day Joan Of Arc on November 3. But those general elections haven't happened yet. She's only gotten people to the primaries at this point.

If the Tea Party Wave takes place as expected, Sarah Palin should not only be named the most powerful woman alive, but also Time Magazine's Person Of The Year. That is, assuming Time Magazine is honest, and assuming they are still publishing magazines at year's end.

The jury is still out on Hillary as SOS. Obama has her conveniently strapped, still, to the belly of a plane destination out to sea, 24/7 to do nothing that is normally attributed to the duties of SOS. Hillary is simply the global abortion provider, and that is all in her own right, that she appears to have “accomplished” in foreign policy. She loves her new flight job, but policy powerful in the office, extremely doubtful. A zero in the senate, the gift office by way of her marriage, not her desirability. A campaigner? Yes, wildly successful, but even then not enough.

I know who Ellen De Generes is, didn’t she have a bit about airline peanuts? But who is Beyonce and Lady Gaga, I just haven’t been keeping up..

Not sure who Forbes was trying to reach with their absurd poll but they have lost us as subscribers.

Blech.

Michelle Obama is an extraordinary woman...

Extraordinary woman? If she was not married to the President of the United States, would she still be considered extraordinary?

Michelle Obama is an extraordinary woman

What absolutely lazy writing. "Extraordinary" is usually applied to individuals that have accomplished positive goals that far exceed the abilities of their peers.

Please list at least FIVE legitimate accomplishments that qualify the Wookie as "extraordinary". And being married to a "dog" doesn't count.

Why not? He has the nuke codes and she has his genitalia locked up in a box.

Nothing more than an Affirmative Action quota...

Number one contender.

[television is just wrong]

that is just stupid. Michelle obama needs to be prosecuted for campaigning in a polling place. Hillary needs to be tossed out on her but, and the rest of the article is useless.

That frivolous award and 1.50 will buy her a cup of coffee.

[Uncle Meat]

So when did having the bigger ass make you the most powerful?

[hal ogen]

Probably the “award” and $1.50 will buy her something deep-fried.

[Average Al]

Even awards are deflating in there significance under this administration............

This was to help make amends with the whitehouse over their big reaction to the earlier article explaining Obama’s Anti-American policies (especially oil drilling) are influenced by his anti-colonialism world view.
