IT COULD BE THE TIME FOR ROVE

TIME magazine — which has been chickening out in recent years with its "Person of the Year" picks — just might be ready to name Karl Rove, President Bush's brilliant political strategist, as the most important newsmaker of 2004.

After saluting "The American Soldier" last year and "The Whistle Blowers" in 2002, Time managing editor Jim Kelly was being pressured to pick an individual this year instead of a generic group. The official announcement will come tomorrow at 8 a.m.

There was some speculation this week that Rove — who is credited with using the gay-marriage issue to energize the Republican base, resulting in record voter turnouts — would share the cover with his boss as "Persons of the Year."

"It's a pairing that has a lot of merit," Kelly said. But in an attempt to keep the suspense going, Kelly hinted he might name bloggers. ....

1. Then let's nominate D.U.!

How do we do it...in large numbers?!

2. Rove and * were the only names dropped yesterday in his appearance

on the Today Show. Doesn't seem like a hint as much as a time delay to the announcement to give people time to get used to the idea to me. Personally, I would rather see them name the soldier that dared to ask Rummie that question. That was a remarkable moment to me. If it's Rove, then I am all done with that magazine.

10. It's not a compliment. Hitler was also their Man of the Year (NT)

3. If they name bloggers, can I put on my resume

that I was Time's person of the year in 2004?

5. Naming Bush/Rove person on the year

Would be like naming Susan Smith parent of the year

6. I say let it be Rove

people need to know who's really running the country.

people don't even know what PNAC is, yet they're running the counttry.

Thanks to the failures of the media.

8. Anybody who can get that moron installed as Prez. is a freakin' genius.

He's a Machiavellian genius who makes the Nazi propagandists look like a bunch of boy scouts. At least Hitler had charisma and brains and had something to work with. Bush is just an empty shell: no intelligence, no charisma, crappy personality and Rove has set him up to be the second coming of Christ.

11. exactly. He's the man behind the curtain. Why not expose him?

it would help dispel the GWB fiction that people have swallowed

7. I think they should put a voting machine on the cover.

9. Either one and I'm done with them
