He told me that there was a slight problem: the Tea Party group, which co-sponsored this People’s Choice Blog Award, didn’t want to allow me to receive it at CPAC next week unless I promised not to criticize Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan as I accepted the award.
I told the organizer that I couldn’t agree to that. He asked me if I had planned to talk about Grover and Suhail. I said no, I hadn’t, but I had to now.
So that’s that. The People’s Choice Blog Award is now the Grover’s Choice Blog Award.
I will not be going to CPAC and will not be receiving this award.

CPAC is an annual booze- and snatch-fest for careerist “conservative” hacks.
Its decline is one of the best things that could happen to the American right.
Why do you still put your faith and trust in “groups,” whatever name they give themselves?
