who cares what Time thinks?

[snowsislander]

President Bush indeed deserves to be honored as Man of the Year, even if by the less-than-illustrious Time.

While the Time piece is barbed, that in the long run will be forgotten and only the memory of the honor will remain.

[newzjunkey]

Pity. My vote goes for the American G.I.

[jocon307]

As my daughter said "Wow."

[Dawgreg]

Kelly said that there were alot of Americans that wish W wouldn't have won..........but there were about 3 million more that wanted him to WIN and win he did! Case closed.

[alnick]

Bush said he relishes that some people dislike him.

"I think the natural instinct for most people in the political world is that they want people to like them," Bush said. "On the other hand, I think sometimes I take kind of a delight in who the critics are."

[sgtbono2002]

Time calls George Bush "The Man of the Year" and still manages to bash him. They say the media isnt biased. LMFAO.

[stm]

Oh this will cause a shitstorm with the libs!!! Man I love it! Time to run over to DU to watch the wailing, gnashing of teeth and wring of hands.

[stopem]

Did you ever see such a mix of good and bad things they said about him? I guess he is the man they love to hate.

I heard that Time no longer calls it "Man of the year" but Person of the year. PC.

Anyway Congrats President Bush.

The magazine's editors tapped Bush "for sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his fortunes — and ours — on his faith in the power of leadership."

I'd call it a backhanded compliment except it's not. It's a knife wound of bitter words and grapes that are so sour they've turned into acid.

Evidently the editors at TIME consider the Red State people of this country as orphans who've rejected the daddy they chose for us and are now slamming the tin bowl of porridge in our faces and saying "It was your choice, now eat it."

in 2000 after the Supreme Court awarded him the presidency.

Puhleeze < shaking head in disgust > still pushing that selected not elected BS.

[crushelits]

We should all remember how President Reagan was disliked by the media.
As a matter of fact, even dead the left still thrashes him.
Did we forget when he passed away?
And we all know, that Reagan was the Greatest President of the 20th Century.

[El Oviedo]

Wrong - Bush is the Man of the Year and not the Person of the Year.

Actually, history will name this guy, Bush the Great,

[RtWngr]

"The magazine gives the honor to the person who had the greatest impact, good or bad, over the year."

How long do you think i will take the perky Katie or some other MSM'r to point out that Hitler was also named Man of the Year. Frankly, I expected that would be in the body of the article.

In the Time article, Bush said he relishes that some people dislike him.
"I think the natural instinct for most people in the political world is that they want people to like them," Bush said. "On the other hand, I think sometimes I take kind of a delight in who the critics are."

A man is in many ways identified by who his enemies are. Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, Hollyweird, Michael Moore and the French are the worst. The above tells me that Bush get's it.

He could care less if they don't like him.
I like that!

[Joann37]

I can't believe they'd even consider Michael Moore.

[KarlInOhio]

More Time Magazine typos to fix.

Kelly said Bush has changed dramatically since he was named Person of the Year in 2000 after the Florida Supreme Court had to be smacked down for illegally trying to awarded him Gore the presidency.

"Many, many Americans deeply wish he had not won," Kelly said in a telephone interview. "And yet he did."

Over 4 million more Americans deeply wished for him to win, and we did.

Bite me, Kelly.

[CindyDawg]

That's cool. I'm still not going to buy their magazine though.

	Person of the Year For sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his fortunes—and ours—on his faith in the power of leadership, George W. Bush is TIME's 2004 Person of the Year. Eagles rather than doves nestle in the Oval Office Christmas tree, pinecones the size of footballs are piled around the fireplace, and the President of the United States is pretty close to lounging in Armchair One. He's wearing a blue pinstripe suit, and his shoes are shined bright enough to shave in. He is loose, lively, framing a point with his hands or extending his arm with his fingers up as though he's throwing a big idea gently across the room.
