The new TIME 100 list (of most influential people) is out. It’s a very incestuous list, where the leaders and “heroes” honored are usually toasted by their pals. This year, John McCain is profiled by Joe Lieberman, Barack Obama by Deval Patrick, and Hillary Clinton by Rob Reiner. (Michelle Obama bows deeply to Oprah.) But Hillary’s byline graces a tribute to the socialist president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet:

When we met in January 2005 during her campaign, she spoke with deep passion and even deeper expertise on the challenges facing her nation, from modernizing the military to modernizing the health-care system. I had been very eager to finally speak with her in person. Being a woman in politics can be tough business, and Bachelet made it look effortless. In our meeting, I learned why: because Bachelet, 56, speaks and leads from her heart. She won, of course.

This is reason enough to read between the lines for socialist ideology when Hillary explains the need to “modernize” America’s military and health care system.
