To those people whining about Time Magazine choosing Vladimir Putin as "person of the year", I wish to point out that the little Bush has been so named twice, as have Newt Gingrich, the Ayatollah Sayid Ruhullah Musawi Khomeini, and many other reprehensible would-be dictators and peddlers of evil. It's a recognition of influence, not an honor. Or at least it should be viewed as such.

such ridicule in place.
