White House adviser Karl Rove tops the unofficial list of contenders for Time's 2004 Person of the Year, according to a panel assembled by the magazine yesterday.

Other candidates proposed by the panel include President Bush — and one of his biggest critics, filmmaker Michael Moore.

Also suggested was "Passion of the Christ" director Mel Gibson.

It should be "People of the Year"... the Swift Boat Vets. But of course Time would never allow that...

You are absolutely right. Time will probably choose Arafart.

I recommend John O'Neill as the spokesperson and major target of the vast leftwing conspiracy and corrupt liberal media...

I agree with you. If not the Swift Boat Vets, then how about just all of our Viet Nam Vets or even all of our Vets?

They'll probably give it to Dan Rather.

If that is the criteria, then Bush will win hands down.

Except President Bush was just a puppet, with Karl Rove pulling the strings, don'tcha know... Putting Rove on the cover is just another dig at the President, which makes him a shoo-in, to my mind.

Sheeeeesh... Pyssssssss on Time Gagazeen !!!

Jim Robinson

and

GeekDejure

are the Real People of the Year !!!

Brief Bio -- Jimmy and Geeky were born on a small planet at the edge of one of the distant red-shifted galaxies, and they arrived in Roswell, New Mexico a few years before their relatives made a somewhat noisier landing out in the nearby desert !!!

In a successful effort to avoid the Men In Black, their families spent the next several years moving around the country at frequent intervals, during which time Jimmy and Geeky attended 27 different schools, including Northpoint Muddle Skool, before ending up at GUMITT. They further spent seven pleasant years in Area 51, followed by twenty years in the Center of the Universe, and three at northern Cydonia !!!

Geeky now lives with his sixteen wives, one hundred thirty-seven and one half children, one small, noisy, long-haired Mexican Chihuahua named Sam (short for Samson), 195 of Lenny Dee's marvelous Hammond organ works, nine aging Macs, one very stubborn Aurora, and an awesomely cool Powerbook G-333, all of which are linked together through an AppleTalk network that sporadically communicates with two miserable Microsoft Windows 98 machines of dubious origin, and one Dell Black Beauty running on Ex-Pee (SP2) !!!

Jimmy thoughtfully founded and skillfully operates the most astounding communication device in the entire Universe, and his totally unchallenged brilliance is evident in the magnificent name he bestowed upon said device:

FreeRepublic.com !!!

Jimmy and Geeky have prior toured the entire world... sometimes via inaccessible railroad boxcars, and other times as stowaways on oceangoing Viking warship replicas !!!

Geeky continues to search for polygamous wife #17 ... and Jimmy continues to operate FreeRepublic ... all from the cushy seats of their Cold Fusion Power Packed fully armed and mobilized roller skating wheelchairs. Hence, they are truly the Real People of the Year. Period, end of argument !!!

I'd nominate Terry McLaughable!

After all, without the effects of his direction and far reaching actions, this country might well be in really deep sh!t for the next four years!

Although I leave the reading of Time to the rest of you, I'll weigh in with this: Rove doesn't deserve it. Give it to those who saved this glorious Republic on the eve of destruction, and that, of course, would be the Swiftvets, no contest.

No, Moore should be man of the year because he re-elected Bush. LOL. That'll really make 'em hopping mad. :)

Dang, you're right... that is the best and most fitting choice by far. Too bad... I wanted Moore to be recongized as the person who got the moderate Republicans to the polls and won Bush's re-election. :-(

But can Michael Moore really be considered a "person"?
