I'd've though that Nicholas "Million Mogadishus" DeGenova would have been a shoe-in. Still, he had very stiff competition.

I'm proud to say that I don't know who Garofalo is.
Great job tonight!

A great quote from Janeane Garofalo: "Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."
IF Garofalo statement was said in the 50's, what "ism" would have said it and why?
To: kristinn
FYI: The WH correspondents dinner thread is over 1,000. Lots of ground was covered imo. Good job, DC.

The awards were awesome -- if you like crow! tgslTakoma did a great job creating the awards and she also took pictures which she will be posting tomorrow (probably). The winners were:
Janeane Garofalo (she got a gold platter and an extra helping of 5 crows)
Eason Jordan and CNN
Peter Arnett
Scott Ritter
Michael Moore and Bill Clinton (tied)
Nancy Pelosi
David Hackworth
Tim Robbins
Helen Thomas
There was actually a tie for tenth place with Helen Thomas and Chris Matthews. The judges decided to put Chris Matthews into the Dishonorable Mentions category along with all the other non-winners because he had, at least in one small public venue (speech), stated that he was wrong.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the nomination and voting process for the Free Republic Garofalo Awards.

Sounds like you guys had fun. Great job with the selections for the Garafolo award. I hope this becomes a yearly award.

Thank you. Pictures tomorrow. This was a bit different in that we got media attention for the first time in five years there. Also, we were moved across the street from our regular location by the police so we didn't have as much interaction with the attendees as usual :-(

One reporter from NBC told Angelwood it might run on the Today show this Sunday morning, I think.

Each Garofalo Award recipient will also receive a bottle of red wine vinegar to help wash down the crow dinner.Red wine vinegar is perfect for Garofolo, the walking talking douche bag....

We had a blast. The rain stopped as we were getting set up, so the crows didn't get soggy.
Sauropod dressed down as Helen Thomas. Doctor Raoul was merciless with his bullhorn. The signs were great and we only got a handful of single digit salutes compared to lots of positive reactions.

Well, maybe Monday. It'll be funny if they do end up showing some of the footage they shot.

TIVO shows no such program, and my local NBC affiliate has Meet the Press and such, but no Today-type show. If there is a Weekend Today, our affiliate isn't showing it (Amarillo).
