No one reads Time or Newsweak anymore, so they don’t matter.
Amy Sullivan raises “snarky” to new heights.
Just a casual review of the list... JON AND KATE?!
Besides Sarah Palin who are these other people on the list?
“Seventy percent of Americans may think Palin is unqualified to be President”
And I call BS on that statement. How can they say that if thousands upon thousands of people are turning out to see Sarah?
And, the scary thing is, how did so many people think Obama was qualified to be President?
SARAH PALIN IS FAR MORE QUALIFIED TO BE POTUS THAN OBAMA EVER WILL BE!!!!!!
I and millions of others support Sarah for President in 2012, 100%, wholeheartedly and without any hesitation or reservations. It is the liberal and RINO whackos who try to convince America that Sarah is nothing.
If Sarah is nothing, then why do they mention her, practically every single day and hang on her every word???
She scares the CRAP out of them!
I am glad to see Neda on the list, especially #1

Total nonsense. She spent only a very few minutes discussing the father of her grandson, and that in response to Oprah questions. And she hardly dissed him, but said he'd always be the father of her grandson and she hoped he'd always be a part of the family. Don't recall every word, but her words were measured and more hopeful than critical.
Oh Amy, green is NOT your color, hon.
“or spending her hour on Oprah dissing the 19-year-old father of her grandson”
Really? Was that the un-edited edition of Oprah that nobody else saw?
all they care about is selling magazines, so they probably just took the top 25 google hits (surprise brittney is off the list).
clearly palin is far more influential in terms of policy debate than john and kate, but never accuse time of putting substance over $$.
Someone who shouldn’t have mattered in 2009: Barack Obama
I LOVE the first two, both as an Iranian American and a Conservative woman!
If you can stomach it go to the link and give her a rating
Reading Amys’s sweet fawning explanation, Palin is turning the political world upside down and hence one of the “People Who Really Mattered” because she quit as Governor and charges for photos taken with her.
Spiteful women reporters who pander to their bosses in the media world always do well in journalism, despite losing their integrity and more. Amy is a typical case.
*ping*
Rubbish!
Trust Time magazine to slip in their usual, obligatory anti-Plain snarky comment that is not backed by current polls, which have Sarah Plain, polling similat numbers to 0bama among US voter.
That nonsense about “Seventy percent of Americans think Palin is unqualified to be President” comes from this 24 year old loony left partisan vermin, one 24, Tom Jensen, who runs this PPP polling outfit. The same idiot from PPP who brought us this piece of garbage just yesterday:
“Palin and the crazies (He means us, of course!)”
