Anyone surprised by this doesn’t understand Time Magazine.
Right. Just like anyone surprised that Helen Thomas is a hard antisemite islamoleftist doens’t understand how DC has been penetrated for the last 40 years.
Or doesn’t understand the “person of the year” title.
It’s not an honour, you know.
Other people who have been named such include:
Adolf Hitler
Joseph Stalin
Nikita Khrushchev
Ayatollah Khomeini
Yuri Andropov
Vladimir Putin
Barack Obama
Ben Bernanke
It’s to a person that has “influenced events” in the past year. For good or ill...
I believe they really intended to give it to bin Laden in 2001, but probably then held off because of the sensitivity of the situation. Guiliani was chosen instead. Imho bin Laden would have been the proper choice.
Cheers.
