Nominations for Free Republic's Garofalo Awards are being accepted on this thread.
The Garofalo--ready-to-eat stuffed crows on a platter--will be awarded to prominent individuals in the media and elsewhere whose histrionic predictions of doom and gloom before and/or during Operation Iraqi Freedom stand head and shoulders above all others for their shrillness, certainty, and apocalyptic ravings.
To be nominated, the person must meet the criteria. Documentation will be needed (not necessarily provided by the nominator) to provide specific reasons when announcing the winners as to why they were singled out for special recognition.
Ten Garofolos will be awarded. We will do our best to present them to any winners who attend the White House Correspondents Association dinner April 26 when the D.C. Chapter holds its 5th annual freep there of liberal bias in the media.
Janeane Garofalo, whom the award is named for, is eligible to win.
Nominations close Sunday, April 20 at 3 p.m. EDT. Voting will commence on a new thread soon thereafter.
TOPICS: Activism/Chapters; Announcements; Free Republic

You beat me to it re the Perv Scottie's statement.
Has anyone heard anything from this total waste of hair and skin pretending to be human?

He wrote an Op/Ed piece in Friday's Houston Chronicle saying that since we haven't found any WMD in Iraq, the whole war was a fraud.
To: kristinn
How about anything Michael Moore said before, during or after the Iraqi war.

Methinks your Grandma's got her wires crossed. Sure, Clinton was a scholar-a Rhodes Scholar, who if I'm not mistaken, didn't finish the program (please correct me if I'm wrong on that).

I agree that Peter the Red (Arnett) must win one.
Bagdad Bob. yep. Just 'cause it makes me smile everytime I think of him.
And I agree the first one should be in honor of Janine Garafalo herself.

I believe the poster was facetiously quoting Scott Ritter, making a reference to Ritter's proclivity for young girls...

PS--This is one award I couldn't vote for...too many nominees to chose from. But of them all, Michael Moore probably bugs me the most. His book and film are so full of factual inaccuracies--it's pathetic.
To: kristinn
The boss -The following is from his website:
The Dixie Chicks have taken a big hit lately for exercising their basic right to express themselves. To me, they're terrific American artists expressing American values by using their American right to free speech. For them to be banished wholesale from radio stations, and even entire radio networks, for speaking out is un-American.
The pressure coming from the government and big business to enforce conformity of thought concerning the war and politics goes against everything that this country is about - namely freedom. Right now, we are supposedly fighting to create freedom in Iraq, at the same time that some are trying to intimidate and punish people for using that same freedom here at home.
First, the idea that only liberals can have Freedom of Speech is ridiculous. Second, No one is stopping their right to speak out, only that it has consequencs. I hate to break it to the left, but we on the right also have Freedom of Speech. Third, government and big business aren't doing anything to these "artists", the people (average, red blooded Americans) are speaking out with their wallets and purses.
How brucie baby comes up with this idiocy is beyond me.
