Time magazine hands out an annul award – Person of the Year (appropriately changed from the previous Man of the Year) – and they look for guidance from past winners.

Last week (before announcing they were giving the award to all of us), they asked for input from 4 past winners; Steven Spielberg, Melissa Etheridge, Dr. Andrew Weil and Carla Hills. Their recommendations were for Michael J. Fox (for…”exposing right-wing meanness and helped the Democrats take the Senate”), Al Gore, the American Voter (for…”punishing Republicans for their adherence to an ideologically inflexible leadership and setting the country on a saner course.”) and the Iraq insurgency (… “one of the main reasons the Democrats won the House and Senate.”).

Fortunately, Time magazine does not (as they are often accused of by conservatives and always deny) lean to the left. However, I would be curious as to who they would be nominating if they did?
