1. Fuck that, Liu Xiabo! That'll REALLY piss of Hu Jintao

[sabrina 1]

4. Done because the more visibly he is supported the safer he should

be.

I have a feeling the winner will be the quitter from wasilla whose mane I prefer not to mention. The country is so dumbed down at this point that she probably has a good shot at winning.

2. that's not necessarily a complimentary award

Bush and Hitler were both named person of the year by Time. Of course, in Hitler's time it was called Man of the Year seeing as how women weren't considered important enough back then.

3. Not even important enough to be evil!

5. it's been a joke ever since 2001 when they named Giuliani instead of Osama Bin Laden

as person of the year. it was always about what or who made the news, not about whether they were good.

but in 2001 they got scared and named Ghoul because the morans would think they were rewarding Bin Laden if they named him.

6. How about the Presidential Medal Of Freedom.

He deserves it more than Poppy.

[WonderGrunion]

7. With all due respect, professional wrestler Mick Foley won the online vote

One year, that poll has no credibility and there is no evidence that Time will give it any credibility.

[jaxx]

8. I voted for Barack Obama.

The man who has to put up with all the snark 24/7.

[AtomicKitten]

22. +1

[Catherina]

9. Kick n/t

[NoPasaran]

10. Totally bogus poll

Bristol Palin isn't even in the running

[GliderGuider]

11. Assange has shaken the world. He gets my vote. nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. That poll is fixed - Bristol's not on the list.

Who cares about Julian Assange? We want Bristol!

:hi:

[GoCubsGo]

13. No thank you.

My vote went to Elizabeth Warren, et al.

[PeaceNikki]

16. Ditto. The Unemployed American, Elizabeth Warren, Mary Schapiro and Sheila Bair got my vote.

[jefferson_dem]

14. Why not promote the president who presided over passage of the greatest collection

of "progressive" policy reform in a generation? Yes, that's President Barack Obama.

I agree that, like him or not, Assange has been a remarkably important person this past year...

[Catherina]

19. We disagree about Obama and progressive policy but thanks for a thoughtful answer

with intellectual honesty that I can respect. The nice thing is that this is all on a sliding scale so you can vote for both, awarding them points as you see fit. Thanks JD.

[jefferson_dem]

[JuniperLea]

23. Welcome to the war on Obama...

Nice how the "soldiers" line themselves up.

[Danger Mouse]

26. Fucking Sarah Palin is probably going to win, because Time sucks.
