And the Winners of the “MURROW for a MINUTE” Contest Are…
 |
The winners are already up at Crooks
& Liars where this is cross-posted.
It was a truly
amazing effort on everyone's part. It was a great pleasure for me to put
together this contest on behalf of John, and I thank everyone in the C&L
community for being so gracious and welcoming. Of course, a special thank you
goes to the amazing John Amato for the invite and I look forward to next time.
Here are the three winners, which were compiled through the comment section
here, as well
as emails I received through my blog.
Kryptik came in a strong first; Steve Davis
second; with Ian in third place. Congratulations! (Nice efforts
by Scott Knick, Kitty, Jeff, Mike Anderson and Emmett, but just not enough.)
Once again, the C&L “Murrow
for a Minute” winners, only this time I'm going to add Murrow's coda,
which they've earned the right to share, at least in this community.
When the government and journalists no longer speak for the American citizen,
the American Citizen must learn to speak for himself. Good night, and
good luck. – KryptikToo often, this administration has been unable to distinguish friend from
foe, or to separate substantive reasons from insubstantial rhetoric. To the
Republican chairman, who believes that the senator from Wisconsin has 'sided
with the terrorists,' we offer the following advice: when you find yourself
on sentry–Republican and Democrat alike–with the lines drawn close to your
enemies, and when the night's smothering darkness is broken only by the flashes
of distant battle, there is a password to let you know friend from foe, and
that word is 'liberty.' Good night, and good luck. – Steve
DavisWe must not forget that everything we take for granted was once an act of
great courage. That only by risking one's comfort, one's job, or one's life,
can we ensure that future generations will not have to do so. Good night,
and good luck. – Ian
