The Media Research Center had no problem finding outrageous quotes from the liberal media for its Best Notable Quotables of 2009 — and the center's founder and president, Brent Bozell, discussed the “awards” in an exclusive Newsmax interview.
But the top prize for Quote of the Year goes to Melissa Lafsky of Discover magazine. Writing for the Huffington Post in August, after the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, Lafsky said:
“[One wonders what] Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being heralded. Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.”
Evan Thomas, assistant managing editor at Newsweek, wins The Audacity of Dopes Award for Wackiest Analysis of the Year for comments he made on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews” in June.
Martella read the quote: “Obama is, ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something.’ I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above the world. He’s sort of God. He’s going to bring all different sides together.”
The Coronation of the Messiah Award for Fawning Inaugural Coverage goes to ABC’s Bill Weir, who said at Obama’s inauguration: “Never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity.”
Couric wins the Media Hero Award for these words from her Nov. 2 Webcast: “I am honored to be joined today by the Godfather of Green, the King of Conservation: Former Vice President Al Gore.”
Bozell told Martella: “There’s no objectivity there. There’s no attempt whatsoever at balance or objectivity. She’s cheerleading Al Gore for his radical environmental agenda.
Couric also garners the Let us Fluff Your Pillow Award for Obsequious Interviews. She said during an interview with Obama on “The Early Show” in July:
“You’re so confident, Mister President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, ‘Damn, this is hard. Damn, I’m not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it’s just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish’?”
Said Bozell: “I ask myself: Did Katie Couric ask those questions of Sarah Palin?
MSNBC talk show host Ed Schultz wins the Damn Those Conservatives Award for these remarks on “The Ed Show” in September: “The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead. They’d rather make money off your dead corpse. They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her.”
Finally, The Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity goes to comedian Dennis Leary, who said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” in May: “I do have to say that I think that President Obama is the greatest President in the history of all of our presidents, and that he can do no wrong in my book.”
That got this response from Bozell: “This is why you listen to these people from Hollywood and you tell them they really need to stick to memorizing their lines and repeating their lines. Don’t use that mind of yours. Don’t exercise that brain muscle, because you tend to make a fool out of yourself.”
