A sad day. I mean, why should Time be wholeheartedly, sycophontically praising a repressive, illiberal, practical dictator? Sure, he’s important, but it is idiotic to praise him for his services to Russia, considering that he’s destroyed democracy, freedom, and every principle we in America stand for.
Now, if Time were Russian, this announcement might make some sense. I just wonder what they’d say about Ahmadinejad. Defender of the honourable, peaceful, cute religion of tyranny?
Person of the Year is not always an honor and never has been.
