General Petraeus and Keith Olberman win recognition from readers at Little Green Footballs

Readers at Little Green Footballs have given recognition to General David Petraeus and Keith Olberman. In a recent poll, Petraeus won the 2007 Fallaci Award (for the world’s most distinguished anti-idiot) and Keith Olberman won the 2007 Fiskie Award (for the world’s biggest idiot). And by way of an update, Charles Johnson notes the Fiskie winner is now blogging at KOS. Which shows LGF voters recognize a Fiske when they see one.
