Person of the year

I had to buy TIME magazine when I saw that they had made George W Bush their ‘Person of the year’. Not at all surprising seeing that 2003’s person of the year was The American Soldier. 2004 is Bush’s second time, he is in the company of Hitler (1938), Stalin (also named twice, in 1939 and 1942), Nixon (1971 and the following year with Kissinger), along with a number of US Presidents, saints, innovators and groups of people (the twenty-five and unders of ’66 for example).

TIME regularly name bad guys, this selection includes two commies, an Ayatollah and Adolf. No bad guys from the US of course, they probably don’t exist.
