Interesting, last year Barack Obama was #1 in the New Statesman’s Top 50 and now he has slipped to #2. Look who is #3, Iran’s nutcase. Google is #9 and Sarah Palin #13 with Hillary Clinton at #25, behind Angelina Jolie at #22. Angela Merkel at #8 is the top woman on the list. What does it mean that Steve Jobs of Apple Computer at #5 is ahead of the Pope at #6 and right under a Chinese kingpin #4.
Full list is here, where you can click on each name and get a short bio. Steve McIntyre who operates Climate Audit is #32. I am interested in your observations of where people rank on the list.
