Observations:
- By a large margin (12,900 votes compared to 2,700 for the runner-up), Ellen’s “Yup, I’m Gay” cover is ranked as #1, above the striking 9/11 cover and the Challenger disaster (as of this writing). Take from that what you will.
- The “best of the year” covers for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 document the… well, let’s be honest, the legacy of the Bush administration.
