		<description>Wow - I wasn&#039;t even aware of that Spectator blog post. Now I&#039;m even more pleased CiB won it. How utterly pathetic and unpleasant.</description>

		<description>Pete - that makes more sense, and unfortunatly makes the perception of The Spectator throwing their toys out the pram even more appropriate?</description>

		<description>Try this trick. If you rename it The Political Blogging Awards then suddenly the attitude of the Spectator and others makes sense. These awards came out of the pol-blogging niche and most of the blogs nominated are pol-blogs. In that context CiB is a weird interloper. 

Anyhoo, I have a big long post in draft about this - will publish when the results are in.</description>
