Time's Man of the Year 2004

[Mr1der]

Comments, opinions?

let's keep this "not bitchy"

1der

Yes, I was the first to say it .

[Mr1der]

it's over

sadly, it's not me.

W got it.

[Altiman94]

I would say it's a good choice.

[Jesda]

John Kerry would be it if he won. No one else really comes to mind. Big year for politics.

Scott Peterson?

[Zydeco]

w got man of the year. Not to to ***** but theres got to be someone that did more then he did in the last 365 day.

[Jesda]

Well, bear in mind that Man of the Year doesnt always mean "greatest"

Its just 'THE man of the year'. They base it on influence, polarity, controversy, success, etc. There usually has to be some kind of great triumph or struggle behind it. It has to be a newsmaker with some drama behind it.

Also in the running was Mr iPodiMacPixarFindingNemo, Steve Jobs.

not to get into the argument of whether he deserves it or not, I just think Time took the easy way out. I mean, it is like giving the best educator award to a university president. Just because they are the most visable doesn't mean they necessarily are the best choice.

[Jesda]

Yeah, but its a media award. You give it to the person who had an impact -- preferably a visible one that you can devote a magazine cover to.

[The Mic]

Got this in the today's mail [notice the political correctness, argh! its like a parasite!]......

I think it's great. I am also pleasantly surprised to NOT see a bunch of flaming in this thread.

Regardless of your political opinion, your view of HIS politics, or your opinion on the war, this is a man with conviction and the balls to back it up.

No one is saying he's perfect (not even W himself), but I have to admire a man with the kind of leadership that doesn't take a back seat to popularity.

There are too many politicians out there (on BOTH sides of the spectrum) who become turncoats at the drop of a hat if it will net them a gain in the polls.

I think Time got it right.... for better of worse

[PGBrian]

of course TIME would name him man of the year.

[Zydeco]

hey I voted, my guy lost. Im over it.

[JESTER]

Didnt Time have Adolph Hitler as man of the year once????

I asked that because it made me think of hearing that. Not because I am comparing GW to Hitler, dont go flaming me.

[azncorruptedo17]

dude it says PERSON of the year... doesn't mean w is a man

[JESTER]

Harsh man. I am fairly certain he is a male.

[azncorruptedo17]

lol it was a joke =]

[tractorcrusher]

He certainly deserves it.

[AZhitman]

We should check with Laura.

She looks to be relatively happy.

[pnissan2]

You can tell how hard hes worked by looking at 2 year old pictures compared to today. Also you have to admit is a very strong leader. I think he deserves it.

[gibbo80]

I think he deserves more than anybody, plus he has affected probably more people than anyone else last year

[Mr1der]

hell....it coulda been Micheal Moore. he was in the running.

think about that.

I shudder when I do.

[jacob360]

We should check with Laura.

She looks pretty frigid to me; like she needs some real lovin

[Q-less]

I'll stay outta this one

[Q-less]

wait wait I didn't see the 'American Revolutionary' WTFI'm sure his party had something to do with this PRBS. AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY....PLEASE!!

[Repo Man]

She looks pretty frigid to me; like she needs some real lovin

Dude, Laura is hot. If she flaunted that **** she'd be the object of your fantasy. Or maybe I mean the daughter, Barbara.

[Mr1der]

or the twins.

bow chica bow wow.

Chelsea was "eh" however.

[jacob360]

His daughters are drunk partying college girls.

Thier video debut should be on the Internet pretty soon.

[Nathan]

Thier video debut should be on the Internet pretty soon.

One can only hope...they both look pretty good and while I definitely like Bush, I'd DEFINITELY like to see his daughters nekkid
