What else is new? Andrew Sullivan wrote (I refuse to link directly):
When reality begins to intrude, they just seal it off. So Norman “What’s A Kurd Anyway?” Podhoretz gets a small fortune from Powerline. And crazed nutjob Ace Of Spades gets CPAC’s blogger of the year award.
He’s referring to Powerline choosing Norman Podhoretz’s book World War IV as the book of the year. The “small fortune” the idiot refers is actually this:
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous benefactor, a contribution of $25,000 will be made in honor of the author to Soldiers’ Angels,
Soldier’s Angels is a charity that puts together care packages for troops, and gives them customized laptop for use in hospitals after they’re injured, amongst other invaluable services. Pohoretz isn’t making money off of Powerline’s award, as Sullivan charges.
Go figure.
