It's "Grande Conservative Blogress Diva" time again.

a href="http://www.gaypatriot.net/2008/12/16/nominees-for-grande-conservative-blogress-diva-2009/"And once again I'm on the list./a You may say, but how can Althouse be the Grande Conservative Blogress Diva when she voted for Barack Obama?br /br /1. I voted for Barack Obama because John McCain was not conservative span style="font-style: italic;"enough/span. If we are to have a liberal President, it's better for it to be Obama, for so many reasons.br /br /2. The concept of "Grand Conservative Blogress Diva" is explicitly defined in a way that you know includes me: "She need not be conservative herself (at least three of the nominees below are not), but must by the the power of her prose, the eloquence of her expression and the intelligence of her ideas have earned them the enmity of the angry left and so endeared her to gay men like us who admire strong women who speak their mind, even at the expense of encomia from those in the entertainment industry and the MSM."br /br /3. Since this is about being a diva, your quibbles mean nothing to me.br /br /IN THE COMMENTS: Palladian said:br /blockquoteHow many of the other nominees have gone perfume shopping at Barney's and Bergdorf Goodman with me, this blog's smartest, funniest and best homosexual?! That has to count for something!/blockquoteAND: Peter Hoh says:br /blockquoteHey, who anointed Palladian as "this blog's smartest, funniest and best homosexual"?br /br /Oh yeah, Palladian.br /br /Just like Caroline. I'll have none of it.br /br /I'm calling for a special election. /blockquoteHmm. So just as Gay Patriot sets up a vote for "Grande Conservative Blogress Diva," you want a poll for "Smartest, Funniest and Best Homosexual of the Althouse Blog"? Really? Is this something that can work as a poll? Well, I don't think polling works in the "Grande Conservative Blogress Diva" process, since diva status is not susceptible to democracy. span style="font-style: italic;"Anyone/span is allowed to vote! How is that a test of who's most "endeared... to gay men"? But it's not diva-like to seem to care. It's not diva-like to beg for votes, which is why span style="font-style: italic;"it's not diva-like to win the contest/span. And yet you think we should have a democratic process for "Smartest, Funniest and Best Homosexual of the Althouse Blog"?br /br /Still, I span style="font-style: italic;"might/span do it.
