The 22nd Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting
The Coronation of the Messiah Award for Fawning Inaugural Coverage
Bill Weir (66 points)
We know that wind can make a cold day feel colder, but can national pride make a freezing day feel warmer? It seems to be the case because regardless of the final crowd number estimates, never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity.

What a day it was. It may take days or years to really absorb the significance of what happened to America today....When he [Barack Obama] finally emerged, he seemed, even in this throng, so solitary, somber, perhaps already feeling the weight of the world, even before he was transformed into the leader of the free world....The mass flickering of cell phone cameras on the Mall seemed like stars shining back at him.

You know what it [Obamas inauguration] reminds me of? It reminds me of the Velvet Revolution. I was in Prague when that happened. And Vaclav Havel was a generational leader and was in the square in Prague and the streets were filled with joy. And were not overthrowing a communist regime here, obviously, but an unpopular President is leaving and people have been waiting for this moment.

It was a giant love-fest....When Barack Obama started to speak, I was right in the middle of the crowd. People were crying, they were laughing, they were cheering. Suddenly someone would just come up and hug you. It was just amazing. It was like youre standing in the middle of these strangers, and all of a sudden you had a million friends around you. Thats what it felt like yesterday.
