With the exception of Limbaugh's honor, the "awards" handed out at the Washington gala are facetious - and the media figures who are "dishonored" at the event don't show up to accept the recognition that their liberal rants have inspired. Conservative stand-ins accept the awards for them. The MRC's "God, I Hate America Award," presented by Neal Boortz, went to New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. In a May 21 graduation address, Sulzberger apologized to students at the State University of New York for the sorry state of America: "You weren't supposed to be graduating into an America fighting a misbegotten war in a foreign land. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where we are still fighting for fundamental human rights, whether it's the rights of immigrants to start a new life, or the rights of gays to marry, or the rights of women to choose. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where oil still drove policy and environmentalists have to fight relentlessly for every gain. You weren't. But you are. And for that, I'm sorry."
