C&L Wins the 2008 Bloggie - Best Political Blog Award
The C&L staff knows we've got some of the best, most politically aware readers of any blog out there, and we feel deeply honored every single day to be a part of this. Really.
This year we're also deeply gratified to have received the 2008 Bloggie Award for Best Political Blog. The Bloggies are the oldest blog awards, started in 2001. As the boss man John Amato says, "very kewl."
Thanks much to the nice folks who voted for us, much appreciated.

Congrats C&L.
First time I've backed a winner since the 2000 election. Glad to see that there's some place left where votes are counted legitimately.
I'd like to thank me, without whom my witty comments would never be posted.
Good job to C&L, also. C&L was the first blog I read, and it opened up a whole new world for me. Hopefully it's a world that doesn't get me fired for reading blogs all day.
Right on C&L you deserve it.
Hey Miss Kitty I didn't know you were a Muslim.

Eric Hussein Almighty @ 21:
hear hear.
The United Sates is completely falling apart forget awards.
Congratulations! I read this site every day. You certainly deserve the accolades.
Congratulations and thank you for making the truth available to those who crave it.
Way to Go !!
I'd like to thank me very much for the fine contributions I've made to this blog over the past years that have allowed John and his staff to attain the accolades and rewards that they have received.
LOLOLOLOL!.
Congratulations, folks.
How does a government lead its people to war? How does it communicate
to its citizens – and to the wider world – the reasons and rationale
for initiating military conflict? What rhetorical devices and
techniques are employed? And how is a nation brought to support the
profound decision to wage war against another nation? These are the
questions that LEADING TO WAR seeks to explore.

Thank you, I'll keep posting and we'll see if we can't get a dynasty going............
Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS INDEED . You deserve it , my day isn't complete unless I stop by here for a look see.. and THANK YOU.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 15:
I noticed no Right Wing political websites we're included in the contest so I'm sure the barbarians may be gathering at the gates.
Congratulations! It was well-deserved.
Best site! Best team! Best commenters! Best community!!
That is good news.
Thank you for what you do to inform the public in the this day and age of "brittany spears" media.
The bad news today.
Adm Fallon is "retiring"
Where is Cheney?
Hoorah for C&L!!
It's certainly well deserved.
:)
Congrats C&L. Much deserved. And don't forget to thank the likes of O'Reilly,Coulter,Savage and especially Bush for the wealth of material this collection of treasonous liars supply your blog.
You are the chuck norris of weblogs.
Best GLBT Weblog
PerezHilton.com?
Good god.
Anybody up on this Fallon spin yet?
EliteLemming @ 42:
Whats that?
Congrateulations
But then I'm not into being cheese grated.
No mention of moi?
L.A. Confidential @ 43:
Adm. Fallon just resigned for PERSEPTION reasons.
Chuck Norris? lol....Thanks everyone...And it's my birthday too...There are some very interesting sites on their website to check out. That's why I like some of the award blogs. This is a good one and covers a lot of categories...
chuck norris @ 40:
He just turned 68.
He's amost old enough to run a a republican't for president.
EliteLemming @ 45:
His perception was accurate?
EliteLemming @ 45:
Search this Blog for "Fallon".
OT, but we WILL be in Iraq in perpetuity:
Adm. William Fallon resigning as Centcom chief.
Gee C&L what a shame, I heard John Aravosis had already bought a new dress to wear to the award ceremony. Well maybe he'll win the "I'm the biggest, bestest Obama fan in the whole wide world" contest instead, he can wear it then.
Happy Birthday, Amato!
Congrats y'all. I'm glad I voted fer ya. C&L is my first and last stop everyday.
I couldn't agree more. Crooks & Liars is THE BEST! Great job, all of you!
ysbaddaden @ 49:
NO, according to the MSM the perseption of his DISAGREEMENT with the admin. was wrong.
Congratulations! you deserve it, now don't sell out please.
-and happy birthday Mr. Amato
CONGRATULATIONS C&L!!!
Fallon "retired" from his job of distracting the country while Bush carries out his pre-emptive war of terror...er...sumthin'.....
EliteLemming @ 56:
OH teah, glad you're here, and happy to be here. Sorry for OT but was struck with a need to question.?.
EliteLemming @ 50:
Nothing to do with his opposition to the surge and he told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that?"
Nope not at all.
Y feliz cumpleano, Juan, vato! Hoy este su dia suerte.
44 ysbaddaden Says:But then I’m not into being cheese grated.
But I am. I think it's grate! It just melts me to the core.
I would like to think it was some of my insightful comments that convinced the voters to put this site over the top,........... but probably not. Congratulations.
Congratulations, Mr. Amato. Your site has served many of us well.
And Happy Birthday. What a fitting present!
Fabulous. That's why we come, and will continue to come. Thanks for all your hard work (and patience). And good on us, we readers, too.
Oops: Congrats the the Whole Staff. You all deserve it!
Congratulations! Well deserved! And happy birthday, John!
L.A. Confidential @ 60:
And funny it comes out when a Democrat been caught, litterally, with his "nuts in the ringer".
Rodham Hussein @ 63:
How old is John now? Not quite the age to where he doesn't want to be reminded yet?
LOL take me advise stop counting you'll feel younger longer.
C & L is the best.
Now everyone else knows that, too.
Congrats!
So Crooks & Liars, going to Disneyland or two olives in your martini? You can do both.
EliteLemming @ 67:
Seems like the wing nuts have an itchy trigger finger and are starting to fire off a few rounds early.
Dear Citizen:
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.
Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.

Subject Line : Beat Long Poll Lines with Absentee Ballots from StateDemocracy.org
Many state and local election officials are encouraging voters to use Absentee Ballots to avoid the long lines and delays expected at the polls on November 4th due to the record-breaking surge in newly registered voters.
Voters in most states still have time to obtain an Absentee Ballot by simply downloading an official application form available through www.StateDemocracy.org, a completely FREE public service from the nonprofit StateDemocracy Foundation.

Fallon, who had held the post for more than a year, cited what he called inaccurate news reports that put him at odds with the Bush administration over Iran.
I call BULLSHIT.

Thank you for all you do and for stepping up to get out truth and real analysis in the face of the MSM's capitulation to their corporate masters and Bush.
John Boehner and the Repugs have just brought a 4th motion to adjourn on the House floor, in yet another tantrum to "shut down the house" until their FISA BS is voted on.
Hoyer and the Dems say "No".
EliteLemming @ 93:

God I love dis paace...
well deserved. I like c&l because of it's even handness, the vids, Mike's blog, and the music blog. Go ahead and change as needed but, keep up the same spirit. Is there another site that promotes classical music, Zappa, Bela Fleck, the Ramones? Relects my taste. Sometimes I've got Ave Maria going thru my head. Other times, it's "Give me yer dirty love".
EliteLemming @ 99:
You can bring your dog to work too!
In fact why even go home we have a company crash room where we sleep until the project is done. And plenty of pizza.

Top Middle East military commander resigns
Adm. Fallon had run Central Command, called ‘difficult to replace’
updated 14 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Adm. William Fallon is stepping down as head of the U.S. Central Command, which oversees military matters in the Middle East, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Tuesday.
Gates said that Adm. William J. Fallon had asked for permission to retire and that Gates agreed. Gates said the decision, effective March 31, was entirely Fallon’s and that Gates believed it was “the right thing to do.”
Fallon was the subject of an article published last week in Esquire magazine that portrayed him as opposed to President Bush’s Iran policy. It described Fallon as a lone voice against taking military action to stop the Iranian nuclear program.

Mega Conga Rats! I like C&L, nice blog, has only zapped one of my comments ever. Nice and trim! Athletic! Handsome! No real (steady, ongoing) ego problems do I ever see at this place. You DESERVE the AWARD! YAY!
I don't know about any of the other readers and posters here, but if you go to some of the other blog sites and see the absolute hate and vile posted you get a breath of fresh air coming here. The people posting have their opinions, they post them, but they don't have the manufactured lies posted on some of the others. KEEP IT UP...I LOVE CROOKSANDLIARS.
Congratulations on a well deserved honor! C&L is the first blog I check in with every morning, and the last every night. Thanks for all your tenacity, honesty and hard work. And, please - NeverNeverNever give up the fight! You're the best!
