Hmmmm

Right Wing News has the results of its fourth annual "Best Warblogger" awards.

As an aside - perhaps it's a sign of how the blogosphere has evolved that very few of the listed are overtly "War blogs", to the point where RWN actually disclaims the results:

I told the judges not to get hung up on whether someone was a "warblogger" or not.

At any rate, I thought this couplet of results was interesting:

Most Annoying Left-Of-Center Blogger

Honorable Mention: The Huffinton Post (No blogger specified) (4)
Honorable Mention:Juan Cole from Informed Comment(4)
Honorable Mention:Amanda Marcotte from Pandagon (3 For AM + 2 For Pandragon) (5) [Actually, everyone from Pandagon was annoying - Ed]
Honorable Mention: Andrew Sullivan from The Daily Dish (10)
3) Oliver Willis (11) [It's really amazing; Willis has gone, in three years, from being a fairly interesting blog - I used to blogroll him - into relative nonentity status; turning into George Soros' kept man probably killed whatever appeal the blog might have once had - Ed.]
2) Atrios from Eschaton(13)
1) Markos Moulitsas Zúniga from Daily Kos (23)

Most Annoying Right-Of-Center Blogger

3) Stop The ACLU (3)
3) INDC Journal (3)
2) Hugh Hewitt (4)
1) Andrew Sullivan from The Daily Dish (13)

So Sullivan - who is my blogfather - is in the top five on both the left and the right?

By the way, NARN colleague Ed Morrisey at Captain's Quarters scored high in both original reporting and #3 on the "Best Blog Overall" list.

'Grats, Ed!
