Stupid interns who work for Andrew Sullivan (and apparently produce his entire The Atlantic opus now, The Daily Drish) have decided to “honor” our own TBogg, not entirely comprehending the fact-based nature of his Bill Kristol reportage throughout the years.
For here’s the sad, but true fact: Bill Kristol SHOULD eat a bag of salted dicks.
So, go vote for TBogg. And don’t worry if you’ve voted already; apparently The Atlantic encourages voter fraud. Not that I’d advocate such a thing.
But still. One could.

boggs in the lead with 34% at the moment… recomemnded teddy, thanks for the reminder to vote
Salted what?
Rec’d & Voted!
GO BOGGS!
Uh, what are we voting for?
*G*
“BK should eat a bag of salted dicks . . ”
What a waste of dicks. I wouldn’t waste MINE on that fuckwump.
Harumph.
;-)
If they are salted and in a bag, presumably they are no longer ANYBODY’s, Larue. But no, I wouldn’t waste mine on that lump of human feces either.
Thank you, Suzanne
One of the most satisfying votes I’ve cast in many a year.
If Sullivan is foolish enough to let his poll be pharyngulated, I’m happy to oblige. Who’s TBogg, anyway? ;-)
Voted! Looks like Tbogg is taking home the prize.
I voted early and often :D
p.s. this is a ‘someone was uncivil and now I have my panties in a bunch’ award, right ? what in the world is Digby doing on that list ?!?! what a thin skinned little ______ Sullivan is
I have to disagree witht this:
and prefer this
Dicks are useful.
Bet you can’t cast just one!
I presume Andrew reads the eventual lists of nominees, but also imagine this entire effort to have been outsourced, like his blog has been. And naming any “ironic” award after Michael Moore is exceedingly dishonest of Sully: one commenter over there points out that several people recommended “Sicko” to him, during his rants about the British Health Service, and he finally typed something along the lines of “Okay, I guess I must go see it and review it. More soon.”
Nothing else again, ever, about Sicko or Moore.
Oh, except for a new feature about a year later, called “The View from Your Hospital Room” soliciting little stories about the horrors of the US health care system — sound familiar? — accompanied by a complete reversal of Sully’s views on health care, health insurance, and the role of a national government in same.
So, we have an award for incivility named for Michael Moore, presented by a “blogger” who has come to agree essentially with Michael Moore on his two signature issues — the War on Iraq and America’s health care madness — without ever acknowledging that Moore was right all along.
Sullivan, or the myrmidons who write The Drish for him now, have no sense of real irony at all.
Already on this – believe I have voted 5 times. Not yet today, though. I’ll get right on it!
Re: digby – the list at the Dish gives a quote that got each nominee on the list – in each case, they were essentially a little rude. I forget what Digby’s was…but it’s par with the others.
And like several people at TBoggs’s place & Balloon Juice have said, the “equivalent” nominees for right-wingers are people with far more power and influence who are actually – see: Sharon-SecondAmendmentREmedies-Angle – advocating violence.
The lefty nominees are known for calling out people advocating violence, or hate, or lies.
Just back from today’s vote – TB still 34% with Keith O at 22% –
here’s the terrible thing digby said to get nominated:
“I realize that we won’t have teabaggers running across the countryside lopping off people’s hands with machetes. But the sentiment that drives people like Beck and Limbaugh isn’t all that different, even though the worst we’ve seen are spit spewing screamers at Townhalls and a few cases of head stomping and false arrest. So far. This cannot end well,” – Digby, comparing right-wing media to facilitators of the Rwandan genocide.
I know you’re shocked, cbl./s
Suzanne, perhaps “reminder to vote” could be a “topic” on LN and/or LLN for the next couple ‘o days.
I couldn’t!!!
DOH?!?!?!
I’m GUILTY of vote fraud.
Heh, IMO there was some serious vote fraud in 2008. That guy I, and over 50,000,000 other Americans voted for is ONE BIG FRAUD!
“Bill Kristol SHOULD eat a bag of salted dicks.”
This cannot be repeated enough. Ever.
But still. One could.,
Is ten or fifteen times enough? Or should I spend the rest of the night clicking on TBOGG?? He is ahead already….
Clear you cache and cookies and vote and vote often.
If you can find something more satisfying to do with your time, don’t let voting keep you from it. But really, what might that POSSIBLY be? Beating Olbermann is just a sweet cherry on top.
You and me both. Did you grow up in Chicago…vote early and vote often?
If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin.
Work every angle. :)

Non-Macs – no clue…
Trying to orient myself — what’s the Moore Award and what gets you on the ballot? I go in search of.
- Quote from Sullivan’s website: “The Moore Award – named after film-maker, Michael Moore – is for divisive, bitter and intemperate left-wing rhetoric.”
Not to be confused with Michael Moore’s Freedom of Speech Scholarship for Rebels:
- AP 2005: “The Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship will award two $2,500 annual scholarships to Cal State San Marcos students ‘who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration,’ according to a news release issued Wednesday.”
First, I cannot believe Sullivan hyphenates filmmaker. Second, the way I remember Moore phrasing it at the time, the San Marcos scholarship was to be given to the students who raised the most hell with the college administration, which banned Moore from speaking on campus in his 2004 Slacker Uprising tour, prompting the student organizers to move the venue to the Del Mar racetrack, thus inspiring Moore to create the award in their honor. Btw, I was lucky enough to be there that night in Del Mar, and the trophy I picture for all Moore Awards can be gleaned from the North County Times photo I posted in this comment (scroll down) at Daily Kos: http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/12/22/182113/69/145#c145
Ahhh. It was a very good evening. God bless Michael Moore. Andrew Sullivan, dream.
