Earlier today, after reading a post Pamela Geller published at Atlas Shrugs, I published a piece under the headline, Is State Dept Playing April Fools Joke on Israel? The difference between our posts? I videotaped my computer screen as I went through the motions and clicks on the State Department web site to show proof that, at least for a while on April Fool’s Day, the page dedicated to information about Israel was gone.
Within a few hours, Andrew Sullivan had caught wind of my post and honored me as a Hewitt Award nominee in a post published at his The Atlantic blog, The Daily Dish.
What is the Hewitt Award? According to this Sullivan post, it is “named after the absurd partisan fanatic, Hugh Hewitt (and) is given for the most egregious attempts to label Barack Obama as un-American, alien, treasonous, and far out of the mainstream of American life and politics.”
Who else has been nominated? The following individuals were finalists for the Hewitt Award 2009:
- John J Pitney Jr., NRO
- G. Gordon Liddy , Radio America
- Carol Platt Liebau , Townhall.com
- John L. Perry , Newsmax
- Rush Limbaugh , The Rush Limbaugh Show
Who won? Rush Limbuagh with 50 percent of the 4,500+ votes.
I think I’m in good company; therefore, I gladly accept this nomination, Mr. Sullivan.

Well congratulations to you, you are in good company.
I saw that post at Pamela’s yesterday and put a link up in my “other reading” section. I too checked out the site and not only was the Israel link, as you noted, but the Palestinian territories link seemed to be working just find.
Coincidence? Maybe, but there were also several articles in the media about Obama wanting regime change in Israel, and about him inciting the Palestinians to make noise about the “settlements” that are not settlements.

Congratulations Bob! You’ve earned it with the many issues that you “expose” (& will continue to expose!) of those who try to cover up the REAL STORY and spew the less than truthful Propaganda of this administration. Thank God for people like you!
