Forbes' Most Powerful Women. Kind Of.

Today, Forbes realeased this year's edition of The World's Most Powerful Women.  Taking first place is Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, followed by Hillary Clinton.  Superstar entertainer Lady Gaga came in at eleventh, Oprah Winfrey at fourteenth.
But perhaps the most shocking ranking we saw was Michelle Bachmann; number twenty-two.  Under her name is her 'occupation': presidential candidate.  While Bachmann has had a very successful career in the House, is this really enough to make her the twenty-second most powerful woman in the entire world?  She even beat Angelina Jolie and Sarah Palin, who came in twenty-ninth and thirty-fourth respectively.

So congradulations to all of the women who made the list.  But Forbes, isn't the name of the list 'Most Powerful Women'? Not 'Most Interesting Women'?
