What an incredibly stupid list that only a mediot could come up with.
Wake me when someone publishes a list worth taking seriously.
Sincerely,
Rip van Winkle.
I can’t get past the stupidity of Michelle Obama being named. She is nothing and consistently proves it.
I can’t believe anyone would take this list seriously.
It seems they took 100 names, perhaps with 20 qualifying, and then mixed them up and drew them out. Then they put Mrs Obama at the top since she must be worshiped.
A stupid list populated with an amazing number of stupid women, along with a handful of truly important and remarkable women.
No wonder we are doomed. Of the women I recognized at all, only Palin for sure, maybe Merkel, maybe QE2, and maybe Jolie deserve any respect. All the others are useless liberals. (Notwithstanding the numerous corporate titans I’ve never heard of.)
Ariana Huffington is more powerful than the queen of England. Ellen Degenerate and Beyonce Knowles are more powerful than Nancy Pelosi. Who knew?

I got tired after that...
Honestly, these just shows you the lack of powerful women in America...Ellen Degeneres? C’mon...magritte
It’s not really a list of powerful women. It’s a list of pop celebrities. People that a magazine publisher might want to put on its cover to attract buyers at the supermarket checkout counter.
This faux celebrity business started back around the time of Andy Warhol, and it just refuses to go away.
Junk food for drugged out minds.
Any list with the Wookie on top isn’t worth reading.
Wait one....
Maybe a listing of the worst dressed and most tasteless females might be worth a review.
oh my God...that list made me laugh out loud over and over and over again. no kidding. This is one of the funniest lists I have ever seen in my entire life. michel #1? Ha,ha.hho, ho,ho...
This unsung angel, who will never get any kind of press or recognition from the world, is far more powerful than most of the useless heifers on that list.
Perspective, people. Perspective.
16 Sarah Palin Political maverick and commentator
Sarah Palin, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Governor of Alaska and motivator.
Just ask the Texas Beef Industry about the Power of Oprah.
In my book, the old ball and chain is the most powerful.
Journalists seem to get dumber every day. Lady GaGa??? LOL.
She, who must be obeyed...
They forgot Xena warrior princess
