In a few weeks, Osama bin Laden may be on the cover of Time magazine as "Person of the Year," according to a report on The Washington Times Web site.
A Time spokeswoman confirmed Thursday that the terrorist is "one of a dozen under consideration" for the title, according to the report.
Time's managing editor, James Kelly, has said the moniker designates the one person on Earth who has had the biggest effect on history throughout the year -- for better or worse.
Time started giving out the title in 1927. Hitler was named Man of the Year in 1938. Joseph Stalin made the cover in 1939 and 1942, and Ayatollah Khomeini was on the front in 1979.
OK, I understand-it applies 'for better or worse'-but it still 'rubs me the wrong way'.
Well, considering they gave it to Hitler, et al, he's in the running, for sure.
My vote went to Rudy Giuliani.
