Who would be Time's Person of the Year so far this year?

[quaoar]

I'd say Patrick Fitzgerald if the indictments had already come out, but he can still wimp out.

[maddiejoan]

1. Katrina

[Yupster]

3. Very good

Let's see if Time is as smart as you are.

My guess was a Chinese or Indian economic minister, but I like yours better.

[JI7]

5. or "natural disasters" to include the Tsunami also

if they name a non person.

of course man made disasters can be it also by naming the Chimp.

[Poiuyt]

16. The tsunami hit last year

[quaoar]

6. How about Brownie?

Sort of in the same category as Hitler being Man of the Year.

[mcctatas]

12. Or a sub-category to Katrina/Tsunami/earthquake....

UNnatural disasters...or maybe UNnatural disasters would be Bolton???

[ruggerson]

2. Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog

[Rowdyboy]

4. They'll give it to John Roberts....

[YOY]

7. For chirssakes the put Shrub up last year did they not?

Who cares what they think?

[mcctatas]

8. George Galloway...

or how about Bono?

[TheFarseer]

9. Hard to say

The same old people seem to be in the news. Maybe a sleeper, Hugo Chavez. Of course my vote goes to the great Al Del Greco.

[FARAFIELD]

13. i THOUGHt his name was

Al DEL CHOCKE-O i seemed to remember him missing some important kicks

[quaoar]

15. Al is now the golf coach

at Spain Park High School in Hoover, Alabama. His son Trey is the kicker for the football team.

[NNadir]

10. Time Warner is pretty clueless: How about the idiot king?

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. Cindy Sheenan - nt

[cassiepriam]

42. Yes nt

[AlGore-08.com]

14. Tom Cruise

C'mon, we're talking about Time Magazine here...

[carolinalady]

17. General Honeray (sp?) He cracks me up! n/t

[quaoar]

18. It's Honore

[carolinalady]

19. ty :)

[noahmijo]

20. Micheal Brown, Jessica Simpson maybe

[Up2Late]

21. DUah! Cindy Sheehan (sp?) of course!!!!

I think she has caused the most changes to take place this year, at least in the "Media Attention" realm.

[dchill]

32. Agree... n/t

[quaoar]

22. How about oil company executives?

They have recorded record profits on $3/gallon gas while at the same time getting Congress to give them billions in tax cuts.

[enid602]

23. time

Al Baraday

[thereismore]

24. Cindy! Cindy! nt

[zann725]

25. John Conyers.

n/t

[Canuckistanian]

26. Year's not over yet.

Fitzgerld's my bet. (ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease ohplease)

:grr:

[Stinky The Clown]

27. You beat me to it!

That's who I think it'll be. For bringing down a presidency.

[JI7]

28. if he does anything big then it will(should) be him

kind of like how 9/11 resulted in Ghouliani being person of the year even though it should have been Bin Laden.

it's too bad rather than making the person of the year the news maker of the year they turned it into an honorary award thing.

[longship]

29. They'll give it to Chimpster again.

Why stop now?

[MADem]

30. Remember, the criteria is FOR BETTER or WORSE

If they stick with the WORSE theme, there is only one candidate:

[jobycom]

31. Bill Clinton. Every day Bush is in office, Bill looks even better

[Independent_Liberal]

33. There's a large number of people.

John Conyers
Cindy Sheehan
George Galloway
Patrick Fitzgerald
Judith Miller
Michael Brown

Take your pick.

[jillan]

34. I vote for Cindy!

She has been the most influential person of the year.

[az chela]

35. I agree

Cindy Sheehan should be the time person of the year.She has done more to hold this administration responsible for their evil deeds than any of the democrats.She stood up to George Bush,camped outside his home in a ditch and made all the news stations and newspapers.She has traveled all over the country giving speeches,help put together the peace rally in DC that was attended by 100,000's of people.She also was with John Conyers at the Downing st. memo and is still on the road
giving speeches.For one person she is amazing and noone deserves to be chosen more than she does.

[countmyvote4real]

36. Cindy Sheehan was my first response.

But I wasn't thinking like a national shill magazine for the * administration that has an echo chamber on cable.

[melody]

37. It's not a positive influence only, it's just a pervasive influence

It's about who has had the most influence overall - negatively or positively.

[calmblueocean]

38. So far, Cindy Sheehan, but there's plenty of year left. (nt)

nt

[dooner]

39. Joseph Wilson n/t

[kweerwolf]

40. Ashton and Demi ... barely edging out Justin Timberlake!

[AspenRose]

41. Hugo Chavez

eom

[Kickin_Donkey]

43. A lady named Katrina ...

This crossed my mind a month ago.

[mandyky]

44. The Supremes (as in Supreme Court)

And and accompanying article about speculation of how this bunch will change America.

I'd like to see Cindy Sheehan or even Mother Nature ala Katrina and Rita.

A hit piece on Brown or DeLay would be a nice touch, too! LOL

[Roland99]

45. al-Zarqawi deserves it...hands-down

1) He's been killed at least twice
2) He's jumped from a moving car to escape pursuing U.S. military forces
3) Suffered a damaged lung (from unknown causes) immediately thereafter
4) Has lost a leg at least once
5) Apparently remains in close contact with bin Laden
6) Created "Al Qaeda in Iraq, Inc."

And, on top of all of that, he is responsible for more death and destruction in Iraq since the initial days of Shock and Awe.

Not too bad for a make-believe, one-legged, twice-killed, lung-damaged phantom.

[mandomom]

46. Scooter

[snippy]

47. Bush and this should be the cover.

[hyphenate]

48. I would also guess Katrina

No woman scorned left any man as devastated as "she" did this year!
