Time Magazine in love

Atrios points us to this article, but he chose not to quote the Best Part. I, however, don't shield my readers from spoilers... we're all grownups; avert your eyes if you don't want to ruin the thrill of reading the article yourself...The subject is Time Magazine's whoredom in picking Bush as Person of the Year:

One even senses that this avalanche of overwrought power worship is inspired by the very fact of George Bush's being such an obviously unworthy receptacle for such attentions. From beginning to end, the magazine behaves like a man who knocks himself out making an extravagant six-course candlelit dinner for a blow-up doll, in an effort to convince himself he's really in love.

Heh. This actually explains Bush voters for me.
