He is the man of the year. It doesn't mean he's a great person, it just means that he had a tremendous impacts on world events this year, and that he is one very important dude.

Time magizine hasn't been relavant for many years, imo. the quality of journalism in the magizine had dropped rapidly lately, and the trend towards sensationalism has incresed. i suspect the choice of bush was driven more by their desire to sell magizines than the man's accomplishments, which, while signifigant, are still highly suspect and have not yet been vindicated by success.

although, who else were they going to choose? anybody have any nominations? Karl Rove would be a better choice, he is clearly the best in the world at what he does. (more's the pity). or 'Teflon' Tony Blair, who also never ceases to amaze me.

or Theo Epstien, gm of the world champ Sox. Mel Gibson?

No, Bush is the man of the year.

He's the guy who has had the largest impact on world events this past year. He made the decision to invade Iraq and we are still dealing with it. There is more terrorism worldwide and the entire world was watching our presidential election this year.

Besides, it's traditional that the president or president-elect is chosen as Time's man of the year in an election year.

Theo Epstein? Give me a break. A sports team winning the World Series does not have serious geopolitical implications.

Your post was very predictable. I wondered when someone would get to this and point out what you did. Great list.

I think Time named Albert Einstein 'The Man of the Century'. Now that was a good pick.
