i have an issue w/guiliani being named person of the year. granted, he has been on his best behavior publicly, since 9/11. however, people seem to have a short memory as to his other actions. besides having his mistress live(at one time) w/him in gracie mansion, he has publicly supported the nypd in instances where they shouldn't have been supported, especially those involving them committing illegal acts versus non-caucasians. also, he hasn't shown a commitment to improving the public school system in ny.
time magazine sold out to the masses. their criteria for selecting man of the year has been in place for years. it goes to the man or woman who has has the greatest impact on the world, good or bad. while i'm definitely not supporting the "cause" of osama bin laden and his followers, the events on 9.11.01 changed the world for present generations and those to come.
