President Bush, filmmaker Michael Moore and lifestyle trendsetter Martha Stewart are among
the world's most influential people on Time magazine's second annual "Time
100" list published on Sunday.
Bush has influence that is as "unexpected as it is ubiquitous," wrote Time's Matthew Cooper.
"Bush may not get everything he wants, but he'll get a lot of it."
"Last year's list was more about political power," Time managing editor
Jim Kelly told reporters. "This year's is more about moral influence."
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, who survived dioxin poisoning,
and conservative German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who presided over Pope
John Paul II's funeral on Friday, made the list along with hip-hop artist
Jay-Z.
Martha Stewart, who spent five months in a federal prison for lying to
investigators about a personal stock trade, has agreed to do a version of
the reality TV show, "The Apprentice," starring Donald Trump.
"Her influence on American culture is still enormous," wrote Trump, who
will co-produce Stewart's spinoff.
Comedian and "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, who satirizes
politicians and the media on television and in the best-selling "America
(The Book)," also landed on the list.
Filmmaker Michael Moore, whose 2004 documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" takes
on the Bush administration, appears in the "Artists and Entertainers"
category.
The success of the iPod portable digital music player helped put Apple
Computer Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs on the list of "Builders and
Titans."
New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who has probed for
frauds in the U.S. financial industry, is among the "Heroes and Icons,"
while Harvard University President Larry Summers is one of the "Scientists
and Thinkers."
Summers stirred controversy when he said that inherent differences
between the sexes may explain why so few women work in academic
sciences.
