C&L Nominated for Best Liberal Blog at 2008 Weblog Awards

I have the honor of writing this post for John Amato, who is taking a well-deserved break this week. Crooks and Liars has been nominated as "Best Liberal Blog" for the 2008 Weblog Awards. Online voting begins January 5.
Crooks & Liars is honored to be in the company below; this year brings an amazing list of nominees, including two bloggers in the C&L stable:
Hullabaloo
Think Progress
Sadly, No!
Brad Blog
Blue Gal (oops, is that a typo?)
Orcinus (C&L's David Neiwert's blog)
Truthdig
Wonkette
Taylor Marsh
Shakesville
The Confluence
Glenn Greenwald's Unclaimed Territory
Talking Points Memo
Yep, not only is this blog nominated, but Amato hires quality too, ha. [Frequent C&L contributor Driftglass has also been nominated, for best individual blogger.] Amato reminds his staff at various awards times that for him, blogging is never about hits, awards, or accolades. It's about making a difference and creating a community and dialogue with a lot of really amazing people. That said, it takes a large group of very dedicated people to put this blog together every day, and we're grateful for the nod.
Given that this award ceremony has only a virtual red carpet, I hereby exchange air kisses with Amato, David, and the rest of the nominees, as all of us sing the "it's an amazing honor to be nominated" refrain...

Congrats to big John and the whole team. Even though his Giants are a team of gun-toting criminals, the man's heart and words are in the right place. Good luck, enjoy your vacation and stay on top of them.
