TIME Person of the Year 2004: George W. Bush

I saw this news at Outside the Beltway. I believe my reaction can best be described by the British slang, “gobsmacked”.

I expected them to come up with anybody else.

Don’t forget their caveat, though, that it’s the person Good or Bad who had the greatest impact that year; and some of the writing about him was really a very thinly disguised slam, too.

True, MB, but I really expected them to ignore him entirely.

O’ course, as deservin’ as I was, I was again overlooked, but ‘least I had somethin’ to use for my Nightly Navel Gazin’ Report.

The pig flies at last! Now all we need is for Hell to freeze over and the fat lady to start singing.

Graham,
Hell freezing over? You mean when the Cubs win the World Series.

Might I point out that the RED SOX just won it? I suspect Hell has already frozen over as a result…
