The article notes that the winner was chosen by a vote of anyone who cared to vote, not by a panel of experts. Since Rush has a chance to speak to around 1.5 million people a day and let them know he would like their vote it is not much of a shock that his entry should win.
Stuffing the ballot box. Isn't that something Conservatives oppose? |

It is funny to watch people who think they understand how these award programs operate try to explain them.
As far as voter ID goes.... Grow up. This is a commercial venture in the entertainment world. You would equate this with voting for our leaders? Really? Please do some research on this thing known as Democracy and get back with us. You might discover that some difference exists between the US Constitution and show business. |

You need to "grow up" if that is possible.

I'm going to ask our librarian about this. Our classes do all these book award votes and I don't recall seeing the windbag's book on any of the lists.

Most books written by political clowns/entertainers are bought up in mass by political think thanks. Thats how they make it to the NYTimes best seller list. It's one big fraud.

How does the voting thing work? How does a grade schooler determine how to vote for a book? Not like their critical thinking skills are very developed to compare one book to another. What are they basing their decisions on?

Its an award for writing childrens' books. Don't over think it, or read too much into it. You all are showing what you fear by your emotional reaction to this award.

I’ve read of other cases where a well-known celebrity enters for them a new arena and does really well. Their popularity and a low sales price for a commodity makes for very strong sales. This kind of approach is said to be a near guaranteed money maker. I’m guessing that this is the case here.
OTOH, there is something more than a little creepy about this guy would be pandering to children... |
