Professional golfer Tiger Woods has been named 2009 Man of Year.
Okay, we say “Person of the Year” these days, but Mr. Woods has made a man-sized dent in the news lately.
And the title was not bestowed by Time Magazine but by New York Times columnist Frank Rich, who observes:
We keep being fooled by leaders in all sectors of American life, over and over. A decade that began with the “reality” television craze exemplified by “American Idol” and “Survivor” — both blissfully devoid of any reality whatsoever — spiraled into a wholesale flight from truth.
Read it. Mr. Rich makes a persuasive case for the golfer. Time‘s editorial rationale for their choice, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, is as weak as the economy he is alleged to have saved.
