Her Royal Highness nominates Rosie O'Donnel for a Sontag Award, for essentially speaking the truth to power.
"The country was really taken over. It was a coup. This man was not elected, he sits in the White House and he's declaring war. That's a coup d'état. America should be in the streets picketing. And our boys and our girls, our teenagers and 20- year-olds, are off there killing people. And war begets war."
It seems that the endless drip-drip-drip of these at first amusing, and now moronic awards will end on Friday, with the announcement of the winners. I join my colleague, The Mighty Reason Man in saying "Not a damn minute too soon!" or actually this
A Polite Request Addressed To Andrew Sullivan
2003 is coming to a close, so how about you gather up all the nominations for your cute little "awards," name the winners in each category, and then NEVER USE THE WORD "AWARD" AGAIN. NOT. FUCKING. EVER.
Seriously, I am having a very hard time deciding which gimmick is more annoying, your awards or Kaus's imaginary editor - and damn you both for the fact that I spent 30 seconds of my life actually thinking about this.
That would pretty much incorporate my thnking as well. Perhaps next year in 2004 we can set up a prize committee of myself and three or four others who read HRH regularly to come up with a real prize for finding and pointng to the stupidest Sully utterances. writings etc...anywhere and blogging them with all due haste and analysis. Any takers for other Panel Members? Sullywatch? Jessee? TBogg? TMRM? WareMouse? Hey this could have some potential. Fair and Impartial judges, using the Rev Moon and Connie Black compensation plans (at a far reduced scale) and off we go....could we call the first ones the Beagle Awards (for barking at the moon?)
