wow...what a clash with the others of years past....recently anyways

The winner must be "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse," he said.

Kelly said he and his staff debated giving the award to others including Karl Rove, the president's influential political adviser, and filmmakers Michael Moore and Mel Gibson.

More like Jackass of the year.

Michael Moore didnt belong up there either.

well, "Person of the Year" doesn't mean Time Magazine supports his decisions, it just means they think he's the person who has had the most affect on the world. for example, Hitler could've been voted person of the year because he changed the world so much (for bad).

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and his clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said Sunday.

Fits right in:
"Adolf Hitler in 1938, Joseph Stalin in 1939 and 1942, and Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979."

I voted for Bush and I am somewhat surprised that Time would name him man of the year.

That being said, it does make sense because like him or not Bush did generate more news than any other single person this past year.
