Who should be Time magazine's "Man of the Year" ?

The count of votes for Osama bin Laden is: 23.25%

The count of votes for George W. Bush is: 26.34%

The count of votes for Tony Blair is: 3.60%

The count of votes for Donald Rumsfeld is: 2.57%

The count of votes for Passengers of United Airlines Flight #93 is: 43.62%

The count of votes for Barbara Olson is: 0.62%


Seems like Barbara Olsen should be at least up there with Tony Blair.

Well, given that Adolf Hitler won it in '36 my money's on OBL, but my heart's on the passengers who fought back. Let's Roll!

I know a person who wants to be...

Every day at a TV studio you can see him arrive,
Stands 5-foot-5, weighs 145
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!

No one seems to know where John calls home
He a maverick of his party and stands all alone
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!
But he did take some of that Keating dough
And that makes him a good RINO
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!

Some folks said he came from Vietnam,
Where a his little Skyhawk met a mighty SAM
And the crash and thunder of the resulting wham
Sent an admiral’s son to the Hanoi "slam"
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!

Then one day on the Hill all hell broke loose
Amid the pork and the spending of the golden goose
And sent the Demos scrambling for the last ca-boose
To pull the wool over the eyes of the big tax ruse
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!

Then the heave and call of "campaign finance"
Put John on the side of their non-compliance

And the GOP crawled from that reform pit
Leaving just one behind, still in it
Pig John, Pig John, Pig Bad John!

With amendments and debate they started back in
But no one could decide really where to begin
Then one of them cried let’s just let it end!
And that’s what finally was inked by the pen…
Poor John, Poor John, Poor, poor John!

Well, they never again opened that worthless bill
Just put a marker on the side of the Hill< br>So all could read and understand
At the bottom of the Senate lies a Pig, Pig Man…Pig John

Time magazine gave it to Hitler once, so I suppose they'll choose bin Laden.

I believe I'd vote for Donald Rumsfeld. Close second to Dubya and Guiliani.

Although I find the heroism displayed by those passengers on that United flight to be inspiring; I have to go with G. W. Bush on this one and any other choice is really not plausible. This man has grown in stature from the first day of this crisis. He has been calm, controlled and focused on the job at hand. He has handled both foreign countries and the American public well, leaving both with the assurance of someone who knows what he is doing and is surrounded by people who are also extremely competent.

That being said; I am figuring Time will go with bin Laden.

They'll make it a group award and give it to the firemen and policeman and rescue workers.

It should absolutely be the passengers on Flight 93.

With Rush Limbaugh second

I seriously doubt that G.W. Bush is a contender for Time's 2001 Person of the Year, as he was designated same in 2000:

CLICK HERE: George W. Bush, Person of the Year 2000

When and if PROVIDES an online poll for the public to vote, I will cast my vote for Tony Blair, as I was MOST appreciative of his LOUD leadership in the immediate aftermath, ...those horrible ghastly days and hours right after the WTC Atrocity.

However, I presume that either Giuliani or Mussharif will receive this distinction.

I would HOPE that TIME Magazine will NOT bestow this "honor" upon OBL, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Bush, Pataki and Guiliani should all share the honor. One took the lead and showed courage, one brought his state up and took the lead in elevating the needs of NY and one, on a daily basis, with the kindest of hearts, has seen to the constituents in his city with an attention and caring presense that is unparalleled by anyone. This trio is so inspiring to our nation, that whether any of them are elected for this honor, or all of them are, in my heart it will ALWAYS be the three of them...what fine men.
