Goracle is “runner up” for Time’s Person of the Year

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 19, 2007 at 8:51 am

Awww, too bad. He lost out to Vladimir Putin , BTW.

However, it’s no big loss for Gore, all things considered, and especially considering the fact that the press has showered him with non-stop favorable coverage for all of 2007, as Scott Whitlock at Newsbusters notes here.

Ah well, if it’s any consolation, at least we won’t have to see his mug on the cover of Time magazine.


Runner-up schmunner up! I am ze Goracle!

    Guess Time decided that honoring somebody that “merely” enables the reintroduction of Communism takes a back seat to someone actually reintroducing Communism.

  2. Jonn says:

    Actually, I won’t be seeing Putin’s mug on the cover of Time, either.

    I never buy Time ragizine. If only there were more incidents of Gore poisoning rivals with radioactive stuff …. killing journalists … and oppressing political rivals … he might have had a better chance to win.

    Side note I hope the weather is holding up there in NC. My son is finishing up his last event in the John F Kennedy School of Special Warfare. We are looking forward to having him home for Christmas.

    Merry Christmas all.

    Say what??!! Vlad the Poisoner is Man of the Year.

    :o

    If I’d been the editor of Time, by the way, I’d have picked “The TV Writers.”

    No matter when the strike is settled, and on what terms, the TV industry will be radically different afterward.

    Runner-up would have been a “Grrrls Gone Wild” Collage, deploring our Celebrity Culture, featuring Britney, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Amy Winehouse.

    :-?

    Is it any wonder why publications like the New York Times and Time Magazine are being marginalized out of business?

    and they have no idea why…8-|

    Vlad the Putin as “person of the year?” Egads! (glances warily over shoulder to see if Four Horsemen might be on the approach) (:|

  7. Severian says:

    Well, Time put Hitler on the cover as “Man of the Year” once too.

    But to bypass the Goracle? Well, I’m sure Big Al took it in stride, and said to himself that he’s won enough this year.

    Who am I kidding, he probably cried himself to sleep last night, sobbing that it was all Bush’s fault he didn’t win. 8-|

    =)) I find this so funny. Vlad the Poisoner!! =)) If I had a subscription to Time, I would call them and ask them not to send me this issue, and threaten if they do, I will cancel my subscription. Then I would let them have it with the usual rant when discussing the MSM. Idiots, morons, blah blah blah…. – Lorica

    And in other news:

    Eco-boat powered by human fat attempts round the world speed record

    These guys took liposuction fat and made it into biodiesel. Yeech. In addition to the creepy cannibalism feel this gives it…how long till we some rabid environmentalist talking about a “Final Solution” to the energy problem, with all the baggage that involves?

  10. steveegg says:

    Classic, Severian. Just classic.

  11. PCD says:

    Sev, about 10 years ago Earth First! was talking that way. They said the entire continental US should only be populated by 10 Million people and were caught recruiting terminally ill people to carry out suicide attacks on Nuclear Power Plants.

    I wonder how far that boat went on Sharon Osborne’s liposuctioned fat?

  12. Aaron says:

    We need to get this global warming thing fixed ASAP. Just look what it’s doing to Al’s hair.:o

  13. forest hunter says:

    I can see it now……algore nestled tightly in Michael Moores lap until the shaking stops. :(( …..an IV unit nearby half empty and an amazed nurse with a surprised look on her face, wondering how she ever found a vein.

  14. Yikes – that presents a scary visual, forest ;)

  15. stackja says:

    ST at: The Hunt for Red October (1990) we see a Political Officer Ivan Yurevich Putin – Red October, who “slipped” on a wet floor. And “broke” his neck.

    We also can read in the news that: Putin is the fifth Russian or Soviet leader to be named Person of the Year: Gorbachev, Andropov, Khrushchev and Stalin, who was named twice.

    For the times they are a-changin?

  16. forest hunter says:

    Gives new meaning to tearing loose from the Mooreings too, ST! :d

  17. Steve Skubinna says:

    Well, Sev, I’d say the next logical step is Soylent Green.

    Yummy!

    As for Putin, I always thought he looked like one of the more recent Bond villains. You know, lose the cat, ditch the Nehru jacket, drop about fifty pounds, be a bit more menacing and less comic opera-ish.

    That was until I watched the new Casino Royale. Now I think he looks like the new Bond.
