I missed it, but apparently Bill O’Reilly offered his pick for Time‘s “man of the year” last night: General David Petraeus. And it’s hard to argue with the pick. NRO laid out the case in an editorial last week, and Hugh Hewitt added his voice to the chorus this morning. Looking down the list of former winners, I won’t be surprised if Time picks someone far less impressive–like you and me (you’ll remember we won last year). In any event, I think I can safely put THE WEEKLY STANDARD on record as pro-Petraeus this year. As Hugh objectively says, it’s “the easiest choice ever.” And the competition isn’t very stiff.
