Bill Clinton, Kanye West -- and Ron Paul -- are among GQ's men of the year

There he is -- the only current presidential candidate in the mix.

Republican Rep. Ron Paul has been awarded one of 36 "men of the year" honors from GQ magazine.

He gets his for being "dark horse of the year."

It took a while for us to find him at GQ's Web package on the honorees. If you open up the "rundown of this year's big winners" or click on the "slideshow" line, his photo comes up as No. 57 of 59.

Paul spokesman Jesse Benton says in a statement that the candidate "is humbled and honored."

The cover subject and biggest winner of the "big winners" is, as had been widely reported, former president Bill Clinton.

At Slate.com last month, by the way, Ron Rosenbaum wrote about GQ's decision to kill a story about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and whether that decision was spurred by complaints from the Clinton campaign and a threat that the former president wouldn't cooperate with the man-of-the-year profile if that other story was published.
