Time Magazine describes the she-pundit with long blond hair as "irrestible and influential" in naming her as one of the most 100 influential people in the World (not just America, mind you, but the World.)

Time describes its list as consisting of people whose "power, talent or moral example is transforming the world."

She's listed in the "artists and entertainers" categories. At least she's not listed in the Leaders, Thinkers or Heroes categories, but still, it's totally irrational and voids the list of any modicum of credibility. In fact, it's downright insulting.

Executive Editor Adi Ignatius claims responsibility for the list. In an audio clip on the site, he says the nominations came in from readers correspondents and then he and staff whittled them down. I knew there was a reason I have always read Newsweek instead of Time. Whenever I have see a copy of Time, usually at the dentist's office, I think "Dick Cheney."

I'm really glad Time has never gotten a dime from me. If I had a subscription, I'd cancel. With all the media choices out there, who needs a magazine that wastes what little time extra time we have for reading the news?

[Corrected to reflect that the correspondents, not readers, of Time were the source of the nominations.]
