TIME Person of the Year 2004: George W. Bush Why oh why did Time magazine do this? Not that I've ever thought that their reporting has ever been anything but on the surface but this is just over the top. Its interesting to see all the other multimedia Bush/Reagan crap that accompanies this article. I guess Karl Rove and Bob Novak now run Time magazine. Its only explanation for the blubbering of affection that the magazine is giving to Bush and everything conservative. The only solace that I take in this is that the water color image of W on the cover looks more like a Norman Rockwell rendition of Donald Rumsfeld as a clown. Person of the year indeed. Spain here I come!!!
