Here's what's at the top of Drudge's middle column at the moment:
Actually, I count seven previous cover appearances since December 10, 2007, less than nine months ago:
December 10, 2007; Feb. 18, 2008; March 10, 2008; April 21, 2008
May 5, 2008; May 19, 2008; August 11, 2008
That also doesn't include at least these two others that came earlier:
October 23, 2006; May 14, 2007
You read that May 14, 2007 cover right. Time considered a freshman US senator in his third year of service who was in the fifth month of a presidential campaign running against a half-dozen or so opponents to be one of the most influential people in the world.

Is it me, or does Obama
August 21, 2008 - 16:12 ET by SmartypantsIs it me, or does Obama actually look rather sinister in that first photo? I can't imagine that picture will do anything positive for his polling numbers, at least we can only hope it doesn't.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?
Holy mole! You know this is
August 21, 2008 - 16:35 ET by Free ThinkerHoly mole! You know this is just the proof for Time's "Man of the Year" cover. He had that in the bag since January 1.
Time: Obama = Lincoln?
August 21, 2008 - 16:51 ET by Captain KirockOk, I may be reaching here but this latest Time cover photo looks eerily similar to a famous photo of Abraham Lincoln.
Since Obama will be in Springfield, Illinois (Lincoln's adopted home town) this Saturday with his new VP candidate, could the hopelessly liberal Time be in cahoots with his campaign on this one?
Are the Oct 23, 06 cover
August 21, 2008 - 17:03 ET by AeroSpearAre the Oct 23, 06 cover and the new one the same? It sure looks it to me, just with darker shading and a bit of Photoshopping to soften the wrinkles.(the same tie is even visible at the bottom of the new cover/same pose/same eye squint .... etc)
Thoughts? No change here.

Obama cheerleaders
August 21, 2008 - 17:23 ET by TheTruthThe so called objective journalists in the MSM (Time, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, etc. . .) should be dressed in skirts and little pompoms the Obama cheerleaders :-)
Love the fourth Time cover - notice the hallow around messiah’s head. . .

The post demotion
August 21, 2008 - 21:47 ET by Tom BlumerIt's simply that WTH got there first. Of course, yours truly did a more thorough job..... (/bragging :-->).
When a post gets taken off the front page, you can usually find it in "Blogs." NB just doesn't want repeaters on its home page link. Occasionally they'll pull a post if it doesn't have a media bias element in it, which is of course their perogative.
