WTF Is It Now?!?

Time for a major bitchslapping
From the WTF were they thinking?? files, Time magazine asks nasty, corrupt, indicted criminal scumbag Tom DeLay - who is so like six months ago - to help pick their person of the year.

Time magazine goofed -- badly -- on Tuesday when it included former congressman Tom DeLay on a panel to discuss the candidates for its annual Time Person of the Year designation.

Time's Person of the Year award is by far the most prestigious and widely discussed year-end prize -- and that's exactly why DeLay shouldn't have been a part of the process.

Tom DeLay? Tom DeLay? What a terrible choice. Think about it. Time couldn't find anyone more suitable than DeLay, a disgraced ex-congressman? Time Managing Editor Richard Stengel introduced DeLay by saying that he'd had "some legal problems in Texas" {Some...legal...problems. He was indicted for criminal charges, not for forgetting to pay a parking ticket. - Ed.} and noted that DeLay personified the power figures in Washington who had been voted out of office.

I don't know, I think a drunken, ex-closeted gay wife-beater would've been a little closer to the mark.
