'Long national nightmare over!' Did Time make the right choice for Person of the Year?

Crisis averted! As Twitchy reported, twerk-fiend Miley Cyrus made Time magazine’s short list for Person of the Year and Twitter users were horrified.

The announcement of the winner came Wednesday morning.

With Miley Cyrus and Kathleen Sebelius out of the running for Time's Person of the Year, it's pretty much gotta' be Edward Snowden, right?

Ha! My reverse psychology worked! Pope Francis named Person of the Year. Surprisingly, the far-left magazine made the right choice.

But this poor soul disagreed:

Why the Pope got Person of the Year? I woulda been happy with Miley but of course it shoulda been Obama.
