Here are this week’s Watcher’s Council winners. The winner in the Council post category was Wolf Howling’s “Obama On Iran: A Broken Moral Compass, A Distorted Perception Of Realityâ€. Second place honors went to The Provocateur for Too Good To Check: How the Conservative Media Unwittingly Smeared ACORN and Handed Them a Gift. I voted for both of these posts albeit in the opposite order. I’m not in complete agreement with GW on Iran but I think his post is a good one nonetheless. The reaction in the U. S. to the aftermath of the Iranian election certainly highlights the divide between foreign policy realists and idealists here.
The winning non-Council post was Christopher Badeaux/The New Ledger’s Through the Looking Glass With Andrew Sullivan, which I nominated and which some have characterized as the definitive takedown of Mr. Sullivan. Second place honors went to Dry Bones’s “Obama’s 3 AM Phone Call, which I believe is the first time a cartoon has placed among the Council selections.
The complete results can be found here.
First time a cartoon placed? What a short memory you have!
🙂
What’s interesting is that in both cases the cartoon was nominated by two council members.
