Legal Challenge to Wizbang 2004 Blog Awards

In a shocking move, a group of lawyers lead by former Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards announced today that they have initiated a series of lawsuits alleging voting irregularities and wholesale disenfranchisement in the 2004 Weblog Awards.

"The very idea that the furthest fringe element of our nations greatest crop of progressive bloggers was completely disenfranchised is deeply wrong," stated Spazbot Moonray Jones, spokesperson for the legal team involved in the suits.

"Not only were blogs by brilliantly mediocre Progressives horribly under represented in the Milblog category, there were none at all in the Best Conservative Blog category. We find this morally reprehensible and just another example of the fascist behavior of the Right Wing Nuts and VRWC types who are conducting this bogus poll."

Representatives for Wizbang, host of the popular annual awards, stated that they would not dignify the allegations with a response. They went on to add that "blood cannot be produced from either turnips or stones in spite of current IRS policies."

Several conservative bloggers, on finding out about the lawsuits, were reported by witnesses to have laughed themselves to the point of helplessness.

There has been no confirmation of the rumor that conservative bloggers were so amused at the situation that several laptop computers and a wireless keyboard required replacing, or that at least one blogger was forced to return to his home with hygiene and wardrobe issues.
