ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

GUTLESS MAG.......

[Savage Beast]

I can't wait to get to the sections on Linda Tripp and Notra Trulock.

[muawiyah]

Mighty nice of Time to do that. Still, years ago when I blew the whistle on one of their sacred cows, they did not write a congratulatory article about it!

[For the Unborn]

Gee, I was kinda hoping that they would nominate their own typically ugly feminist writer, Karen Tumulty for her "Whitewashing the Past" hit job on Trent Lott.

[kattracks]

Only selective whistleblowing acceptable.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

TIME once again proves its irrelevance.

I would wager if you ask 1,000 random people if they know who Coleen Rowley, Cynthia Cooper and Sherron Watkins are that less than 5 would even get close. How in the world could the "Persons of the Year" be folks that nobody has heard of?

[Thebaddog]

Check out the WW2 years. It was Hitler and Stalin in the run up years and then Churchill and Roosevelt when the tide was turning north. Time bailed out on Bush by naming the chicks with PC cojones if you were to follow their own pattern. And then we can talk about the Time editors being a front-runner bunch of NYC punks.

[exit82]

Truth be told, these three women worked very, very hard to expose the truth about their company's financial shenanigans. They risked their jobs. They had no political agenda--especially Colleen Rowley, they were dedicated to exposing misdeeds of their superiors.

The fall of their company is not their fault--it is the fault of the conniving S.O.B.'s that ran it. With their greed they ruined the lives of thousands and thousands of people, by ending their employment.

[KQQL]

UBL is still alive..

And Terrorism has changed the world//

But. W is after their butt/////

So ........any one of the above 3 should have won....

TIME IS GUTLESS AND USELESS RAG !

[AppyPappy]

Was Linda Tripp included?

[doosee]

All three of them are made of very strong character

I thought character didnt count. Where is Margaret Carlson when we need her? See Bill Clinton - 1992

[MinuteGal]

Strange (yah) I don't see Linda Tripp's photo on the cover of Time along with the three lady whistleblowers. Of course, any female who blew the whistle on the Blower-In-Chief was savaged by the media, not lauded.

What a joke!

[The Raven]

How about the Democratic Party whistleblower of the year???

[samtheman]

Like the Nobel Piss Prize, Time's Pissant of the Year award is now reserved for certain political points of view. Only the Politically Correct need apply.

[SkyPilot]

I guess Linda Tripp was not on their list?

[Drango]

One has to think that "Times" political compass has gone a little haywire...
