Joining the Ranks

Here is an excerpt from WhyWeHateBush.com:

Commentary ~ December 19, 2004: George Bush has been named “Person of the Year” by Time magazine, joining such historical similarities as Ayatollah Khomeini (1979), Adolf Hitler (1938) and Joseph Stalin (1939).

Time’s managing editor Jim Kelly said the president was chosen for “sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design,” and for “gambling his fortunes – and ours.”

We couldn’t have said it better.

As far as bleeding choices, 1,304 Americans have been killed as a result of his war in Iraq ; while 9,844 have been wounded (5,229 so seriously they have been sent home with missing body parts). More than 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children have died. No one is keeping track of how many of them are maimed for life.

Reframing reality to match his design: in other words, forcing his worldview on the rest of us. In the next four years, we can expect much more of his reframing of reality. Adolf Hitler did the same thing after he was named person of the year.

The conservative blog Power Line was named Blog of the Year.

What liberal media?

  1. Just wanted to stop by and say hi to all my liberal buds from a caffe in Chapala, Mexico. I was on this baby for 20 minutes the other day, and all they charged me was 3 pesos, which amounts to a little less than thirty cents. I was like WTF.

    Anyway, I see you liberals are getting along just fine without me…But you forgot other Time Person of the year winners, like last years…The American Soldier. ;)
