At least they got Jon Kyl right.
Did they speak to any taxpayers? Average parents? Talk radio hosts? Or perhaps even religious leaders? Or did they just choose from fields known to be populated with liberals?
FR Thread from Earlier: Time Magazine Closes Canadian Bureau (Dinosaur Media Extinction Alert)
I glanced at the list and saw that drunk Ted Kennedy on it. As soon as I saw that I didn't even bother reading it. The credibility factor completely evaporated...which was already in question concidering it was a Time article.
Shocked, just shocked!!!
# 1 media suck up.
Just in anyone cares, he's probably ranks # 1 worst Senator in my book
Maybe in a Bizzaro Universe.
This list of the best was meant to be a snotty joke, wasn't it???
This list could have come directly from "America's Most Wanted" at large criminals!
ROTFLMAO
Hee...hee...hee...
Time magazine soon to be recognized as "Who?" by most at least got Mark Dayton pegged. Of course with the knowledge that he isn't running for reelection.
THERE'S the problem.
What the H&ll do 'academics, poli-sci and politicians' know about what's good or bad?!
Most all of 'em are as useless as teats on a bull, anyway.
Click on the article for John Kyl, and within the first three lines, the word "ULTRACONSERVATIVE" is mentioned- whatever the hell that means. Then, click on Dick Durbin's article, and the word "liberal" or "ultraliberal" is nowhere to be found.
Journalists are sad, pathetic excuses for human beings.
Time figured out that the anti-American rallies were starting to backfire, so they just decided to make-up some news.
Thad is great but Nazi Dick? Drunk Ted? Spineless Arlen? Loony Levin?...Dont need to look too far to see who they asked
I just paid $35 for a a book entitled "The American Presidents Ranked by Performance ".
In Overall rankings from 1 as best to 39 it had Jimmy Carter as #18 and Ronald Reagan as #34----- I wasted my money
Sure, no doubt they did...LoL!
Perhaps Reverend Jackson or the Icon of Air America, Al Franken?
It's not beyond me.
Most are so "sheepled" that they would believe they were burning to death during a flood if the media warned them of a fire.
