Let's do a "what if" so I can make a point. I think it's a good one. I think it's so good, and I'd like to hear from anyone who disagrees. What if a show like Dateline did a "hatchet job" on Smirk? It wouldn't have to really be a hatchet job, but any honest appraisal of that idiot's qualifications would prove he's a non-thinking rich man's boy - and that's all. But what would happen if Dateline did an unflattering portrait of Smirk?

I'll tell you what would happen:

The vulgar Pigboy (a.k.a. Rush Limbaugh) would spend at least three hours saying it wasn't true and he'd offer hours of rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Bill O'Reilly would spend at least an hour on his show saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

"Past experience in the aftermath of a Person of the Year choice has made us quite familiar with one particular conclusion on the part of readers-- namely, that the title is a tribute, an award conferred by the editors for virtue or excellence.  And our response has always been that it is not… it goes to the person who, for better or worse, "most affected the news and personified what was important about the year."  If that were not the case, how to explain past selections like Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin or Ayatollah Khomeini?" -- Gloria Hammond, TIME Magazine
