Still Important
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):
Well, Big Mike had a bad week in the news cycle, thanks to some ink-hogging by Sharon and Powell. My Newsroom's favorite filmmaker drops from second place to fourth. But take heart, Moore-ites! He's still more newsworthy, as measured by the AP's choice of photographs, than the Secretary General of the U.N. and the leader of Iraq!
Ariel Sharon ..... 71
Vladimir Putin ..... 51
Colin Powell ..... 51
Michael Moore ..... 38
Ayad Allawi ..... 29
Kofi Annan ..... 28
Rudy Giuliani ..... 16
Alan Greenspan ..... 7
Zell Miller ..... 5
Nancy Pelosi ..... 2
Rush Limbaugh ..... 0
Hugo Chavez ..... 0
