“Al Gore understands the science of global warming better than anyone else in the world of politics.”

Shouldn't that be: “Al Gore understands the politics of global warming better than anyone in the world of science.” ?

What about Castro's brother, Dennis?

The kindest thing I can think to say of Time Magazine is: "They are tiny brained wipers of other people's bottoms".  (Thank you, Monte Python, for the wording :o) 

As is usually the case, the glaring omissions display the bias.

Besides the President, for Pete's sake!, where's Billy Graham, Condi Rice, Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Clarence Thomas, Jerry Falwell, Roger Ailes, the ordinary soldier...?

Any of you trolls who can look at this and still refuse to concede the fact of Liberal Media Bias have absolutely NO credibility at all.

I have already asked my agencies to not include advertising in Time, Inc. magazines. 

I made what I consider an objective list and compared it to what Time has and it is evident that this was an overall political statement against Bush and conservatives.

The very idea of leaving off the President of the United States and having Tina Fey is abhorrent. Time's Managing Editor is a left wing ideologue and not a professional journalist to have published this trash. 

AMEN to the Al Gore article. I was eating luch when I read it. Had to stop reading. It was making me sick.

Given the kind of company he would find himself with, I think it is to Bush's credit that he was left out of Time's top 100 influential people. Clearly these are people who influence the thinking of the small-minded Time's editorial staff, not the world. Just look at how politically correct the selections are...do you really think a white, male, republican could make the cut (barring Roberts).

Time magazine is still in print? Who knew?

After being named "Person of the Year," I'm shocked that I was also left off the list.

What about the list by the people? I found it interesting that President Bush, who wasn't even mentioned on their list, was one of the top vote getters. People who were on their list were already in People's minds and more likely to be thought of for their lists. President Bush was in the Top 15 vote getters despite Time's exclusion of him.

Come on, Noel, just because your name doesn't appear on the list, you can't can't get all sore about it.

My name isn't on the list either, and I was angry about it, but I got over it

How can President Bush's name NOT be on the list? It makes no sense, so it must be a purely subjective and biased list. If Time had any marketing brains, they would have opened a web site so we could all vote for those on the list.

I'm just glad they don't have the "100 least Influential people" list, because my name would be right at the top! :-)

How dare TM forget to mention the First Lady of Cuba! ! !

Who what a surprise...a liberal rag...Time mag.....naming liberals as most influential......Maybe they mean "most flatulence"?? Whatever, their full of gas......

If I were Bush I would be glad NOT to be included in a list of crazy people.

Osama? Didn't he kill Americans for kicks?

Were there any conservative news figures named to the list? Did O'Reilly make the list? With Fox News often taking in more viewers than the other cable shows combined I would think a nod would be appropriate to their influence. If not then it is a blatant attempt to try make themselves more relevant by voting themselves as 'best in show'.

If you take Condi out and present this list to the public without the Title and what would the average American label it? maybe...

Time Magazines list of Americas's most influential liberals.

Well, at least the video gamer in me is happy to see Shigrieu Myamoto make the list...

The ViewI can't believe that Rosie made Time's influential list - were they high?  Rosie hasn't influenced anybody!  But that's not what I wanted to rant about on here.  When Barbara was telling the audience on The View that Rosie was listed on Time's list, she did it in a backhanded compliment kind of way.  She mentioned Rosie being listed and then she said that she had written to Time about Rosie, but then she changed it after Rosie made the announcement she wasn't going to be returning on The VIew - interesting.  Wonder what she changed.  Would love to see the first draft on that.

Then Barbara focuses the reset of her monologue on who didn't make it onto the list and listed herself first, then paused, then listed other journalists.  Rosie's reaction was like - sorry you didn't make it on the list, and Elisabeth stated it might be because Barbara and other journalists who didn't make it on the list can't give their true opinion on things - needing to be fair and balanced when reporting news, but that didn't seem to justify the reason Barbara wasn't added to Time's list.

I don't know.  It just seemed to me that Barbara is jealous of Rosie.  She mentions Rosie being listed like a good thing, but then focuses the rest of the segment on her not being listed.  Wah, wah, wah!  Poor wawa.  Kind of like when she wanted sympathy from the audience when she was held up from walking home because of the Presidential motorcade and she complained that Bush isn't King and that she should be allowed to walk home because she's journialistic royalty.

And  another thing on that episode a couple days ago, Elisabeth mentioned she was invited to the presidential state dinner.  Barbara had to intervene and tell her and everyone else that she's been to that before, how it's a big deal, an honor, and started to tell her how things are done there, policies, procedures, orders of events, dress codes, and how she should laminate the menu, etc.  It's like no one else at that table can have a good experience without Barbara raining on their parade acting like it's no big deal, she's been through it first, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm glad Rosie is leaving the View, but wa wa needs to go too.  She's not relatable, likable or respectable.  She's all holier than thou and she acts like her crap doesn't stink.  SHE should leave The View.

Oh, um, it's Thursday, but Dwight thinks it's Friday. So...keep that going.

OMG - that line about Al Gore knowing more about science than anyone else alive is a riot.  Kind of like Tom Cruise is the end-all-say-all of scientology.  What a bunch of idiots to reign him as king on that field.  Give me a break. 

Al Gore, Rosie O'Donnell, Tyra Banks, Castro's brother, China president, my gosh.  Was the panel stoned when making this list?  What a joke.
