Big Mike Makes His Move!

An update on the relative importance of certain world figures, as weighted by their prominence in the AP news cycle (the figure is the number of photos of them currently in the leaf desk):

Vladimir Putin ..... 46
Michael Moore ..... 44
Colin Powell ..... 36
Ariel Sharon ..... 34
Kofi Annan ..... 32
Ayad Allawi ..... 31
Alan Greenspan ..... 22
Rudy Giuliani ..... 8
Nancy Pelosi ..... 2
Rush Limbaugh ..... 2
Hugo Chavez ..... 1
Zell Miller ..... 0

From third place to second in less than a week! Hip-checking the Secretary of State right out of his ranking. Watch out, Putin. MM's shadow is bigger than Chechnya's. At least in the world of the MSM.
