Beginning Monday, the "Today" will begin three days of "Person of the Year" coverage with Time magazine's announcement set for Wednesday's show.

Time managing editor Richard Stengel will discuss this year's top candidates and the selection process. On Wednesday, Stengel will reveal the 2009 Person of the Year.

Michelle Malkin?
That would be a good choice.

RE: “Either Obama or Balloon Boy.
Probably Obama.”

Tiger Woods? Or Obama? Or Michelle O.?

Actually, I think the left/media believe that the Obamarrhoid is beyond being a ‘person’ anymore. They consider him as divinity.

Oh you mean like when Evan Thomas of Newsweek said that Obama was a ‘sort of god?’ Like that? Morons!

6-5-2009: Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.”

Ouch, you’re right. Bill Clinton ruins it.

[John W]

Agreed, but, of course it wasn’t her.

[SeattleBruce]

If I had a vote it would be for the American soldier.

God bless ‘em...

Nice choice!

Yes, this will be a tough selection process. Let’s see, we looked at who we idolized first, from there we asked “who became President this year?” and that whittled it down a bit. After that we asked “who has one the Nobel Prize” and there was only one person who met the criteria.

Who cares?

[floralamiss]

If it sells magazines, they will. I, too, think it will be Sarah.

[domeika]

Let's see. Whoever it is will have to be somehow tied to a leftist cause.

Maybe Algore?....a last ditch effort to build up some hype for the failing and exposed AGW campaign?

Or perhaps George Bush, in an effort to lay blame for the current "malaise" on anyone but Obama. They blamed Bush for so long and for so many things, they don't know what to do without him.

How about that leftist liberal nutcase in Alaska filing frivilous complaints against Palin? The left might try to make her Palin's "Cindy Sheehan"...for her bravery of course, and like Sheehan the idiot, she'll wallow in their praise as well until they have no more use for her.

My vote though goes for Obama's brother George. He doesn't put on heirs, lives on his dollar a month (even though his bro aint helpin the value of that dollar much these days), and lives the simple backward life without all those creature comforts and earth-destroying technologies. A true soldier of green (whether he likes it or not).

1988 Endangered Earth

I wondered what specifically endangered the earth in 1988? That was before Global Warming was invented, wasn't it?

[napscoordinator]

Wrong! The number one Barabra Walter’s person of the year was not Obama. She did have Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin on the show though. It was pretty good actually.

[Cyber Liberty]

This isn’t really in any doubt, is it?

[Plutarch]

Answering my own question, this was like the introduction to Global Warming:

Global Warming Feeling the Heat

[hennie pennie]

I thought it would be Ben Bernanke or Tim Geitner, but I suddenly realized, of course not, it's gonna obviously be

T E D K E N N E D Y

because of the healthcare legislation.

Hmmm... my link didn't work. Here's this:
