Al Gore had an outstanding 2007 by winning an Oscar, an Emmy, and the Nobel Peace Prize - all during the same year!
Did Time Magazine get it right this time?
Vladimir Putin was picked
No, Al Gore did not win the Person of the Year award, but he was a runner-up for the coveted award.
Al Gore had an outstanding year, winning an Oscar, an Emmy, and the Nobel Peace Prize - all in 2007.
Now we need a Republican to match those accomplishments, all in one year!
Another runner-up was our good General Petraeus.

Am I the only one surprised by Putin getting this recognition? I mean, I am a little surprised that it was anyone other than Gore, but even with that said...Putin?
I don't trust him. Is it just me? Maybe its that Brad Thor novel I read in which the Russians were up to no good...

You are not the only one surprised with Putin getting the award. And I knew that Al Gore was NOT going to get the award because the man had a good year award-wise and the magazine played it safe with their base by NOT selecting Al Gore.
Okay Terry, have a good evening on the East Coast and have a Merry Christmas.
