Fiskie 2004, First Round

Fri, Jan 7, 2005 at 5:41:44 pm PST

This year’s Robert Fisk Award for Idiotarian of the Year is a real cliffhanger, with an amazingly close race between Kofi Annan and Michael Moore in our first round of voting. Surprisingly, Dan Rather is coming in a distant third, followed at an even greater distance by Jacques Chirac and George Soros.

Michael Moore has been runner-up in both previous Fiskie polls. Will he break the curse this year?

Total number of votes as of this writing: 21,144.
