buncha freakin' rad liberals and a few token fascists. Yeah I suppose might as well put George in there with the rest.

I think it will be Tom Brokaw.
He just left the network after umpteen years of
reading the news. He's kind of an icon.

In no way should Bush be on the cover. No, no, no!

LOL!!! I just noticed 1966!!!



<Guessing it was a slow year>

No, they were getting ready for the Summer of Love in 1967.

Ahhh...before my time.

So. How was it? LOL.

They called me to see if I was interested this year and I again had to turn them down.

It seems it's customary to have the president as man of the year for each time he is elected, so it will probably be Bush.

LOL, McG! It's supposed to be a surprise!

FD...Yep, although it seems they've broken with that tradition a few times (according to the list).

Rove.

I'm pretty sure it will be President Bush, but I also thought of Obama.

This article, however, doesn't think so.

probably not Kerik.

Yeah! It'll probably be the Yellow Rose of Texas.

I betting against Bush.

My suspicion is that it will be "the Insurgents" or maybe "Al Zarqawi".

Bush won the election because he has the support of 51% of the electorate. Not that that isn't impressive politically... but more and more he is just at the mercy of world events. He hasn't accomplished much in the real world to deserve this distinction.

You too, McG? I thought I was the only one to get these frequent calls and e-mails.

It'll be George W., I fear. He'll fit in well with the choices for 1938, 1939 and 1942.

definitely influential...the same could be said for King Herod, Pontius Pilate, Hitler, Lucifer the Fallen, Judas, why the list just goes on....
