A rundown of what you'll see:
Cal Thomas, Neal Boortz, Herman Cain, Mary Matalin, Michael Steele,
G. Gordon Liddy, Pat Sajak, Ward Connerly and "Osama bin Laden"
highlighted the presentations and acceptances of the MRC's "2007
DisHonors Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal
Reporters of 2006" -- the showcase of the MRC's 20th Anniversary Gala
-- presented on Thursday night, March 29, before an audience of more
than 1,000 packed into the Independence Ballroom of the Grand Hyatt
hotel in Washington, D.C.
Following the presentation of the DisHonors Awards videos in five
categories, a look at some "funny clips" from 2006, a highlight reel
of past galas and the audience picking the "Quote of the Year," the
evening was topped off with Rush Limbaugh accepting the MRC's first
annual "William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence."
DisHonors Awards winners were selected by a distinguished panel of 13
leading media observers, including Limbaugh, Tony Blankley, Ann
Coulter, Steve Forbes, Mark Levin, Robert Novak, Walter E. Williams
and Thomas S. Winter, who served as judges.
Cal Thomas, a syndicated columnist and panelist on FNC's Fox News
Watch, served as Master of Ceremonies and explained how illness
prevented scheduled presenters Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter from
attending. Syndicated radio talk show host Neal Boortz presented the
first two awards, followed by business leader Herman Cain who set up
the funny clips and presented the third award. Mary Matalin, a former
adviser to President Bush and Vice President Cheney, handled the
fourth and fifth awards.
In place of the journalist who won each award, a conservative
accepted it in jest. Those standing in for the winners: Former
Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, radio talk show host G.
Gordon Liddy, game show host Pat Sajak and Ward Connerly, President
of the American Civil Rights Institute. Plus, "Osama bin Laden"
accepted an award via video from a cave in Pakistan.
The evening began with welcoming remarks from Cal Thomas, an
invocation by Father John Hopkins and the Pledge of Allegiance led by
Rear Admiral James J. Carey (Retired). Between the fifth award and
the "Quote of the Year" competition, Cain and Dick Eckburg, the
Chairman of the MRC Board Trustees, honored MRC President L. Brent
Bozell with a Steven Penley painting of Bozell and conservative
opinion leaders integral in the MRC's 20-year history.
