Egad! Time Man of the Year: Osama bin Laden?

Well, we'll see what Time decides to do

So, when will we find out who Time has picked? When does this issue come out?

I would give it to Geroge W. Bush for the job that he has done this year under the circumstances.

He took office under the specter of illegitimacy, and led this country through the most horrific incident in U.S. history. He has managed to unite the country behind him and piece together a whole global coalition in response to the 9/11 attack and the continuing global terror threat.

Osama would be an ideal candidate if Time had an Asshole of the Year issue.

I'm guessing it comes out after the year is done

I really like the idea of making the embodiment of the NY firefighter or police officer as Time's "Man of the Year" as was suggested in the CNN article. It's infinitely more appealing than putting Osama back on the cover, as he was back in Sept.
