Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride
Al Gore is a the runner-up yet again, this time for Person of the Year. Time chose instead to go with Russian thug, Vladimir Putin. Ridiculous. Of course they’ve given it to Dubya twice, Ken Starr, Gingrich and Giuliani, so who really gives a flying fuck.
Update: Eric Alterman over at Media Matters makes the point that this decision likely resulted from worry that choosing Gore might create controversy. I agree, considering their Person of the Year in 2006 was “You”, literally, with a mirror as the front cover. Of course, I tend to think previous choices of Hitler and Stalin might be a tad more controversial than picking a man who uses empirical evidence and all that to back up his arguments.
