The only one who was being consistently described as "Churchillian" after 9/11 was George W Bush (except for this author they dug up to provide the necessary quote for Rudy). The person who rallied the nation and the world and provided that belief that "we would win" against the terrorists was George W Bush.
It's almost as if they took the things that people have been saying in praise of the President and simply applied them to Rudy.
Whatever.
It won't hurt President Bush, he looks to a different Source for his "approval."

PS: I think Rudy did a great job too, and provided a much-needed service to NYC, but the only reason he got this designation from TIME was because they would die before they'd give it to one of the most popular conservative Presidents in American history.
