IT COULD BE THE TIME FOR ROVE

TIME magazine — which has been chickening out in recent years with its "Person of the Year" picks — just might be ready to name Karl Rove, President Bush's brilliant political strategist, as the most important newsmaker of 2004.

After saluting "The American Soldier" last year and "The Whistle Blowers" in 2002, Time managing editor Jim Kelly was being pressured to pick an individual this year instead of a generic group. The official announcement will come tomorrow at 8 a.m.

There was some speculation this week that Rove — who is credited with using the gay-marriage issue to energize the Republican base, resulting in record voter turnouts — would share the cover with his boss as "Persons of the Year."

"It's a pairing that has a lot of merit," Kelly said. But in an attempt to keep the suspense going, Kelly hinted he might name bloggers. ....

2. Rove and * were the only names dropped yesterday in his appearance
on the Today Show. Doesn't seem like a hint as much as a time delay to the announcement to give people time to get used to the idea to me. Personally, I would rather see them name the soldier that dared to ask Rummie that question. That was a remarkable moment to me. If it's Rove, then I am all done with that magazine.

3. If they name bloggers, can I put on my resume
that I was Time's person of the year in 2004?

8. Anybody who can get that moron installed as Prez. is a freakin' genius.
He's a Machiavellian genius who makes the Nazi propagandists look like a bunch of boy scouts. At least Hitler had charisma and brains and had something to work with. Bush is just an empty shell: no intelligence, no charisma, crappy personality and Rove has set him up to be the second coming of Christ.
