Ah yes, this is what I like to see, ninmates carrying the torch of excellence further up, further into the blogosphere:

Jihad Watch - D’Souzathon runoff

Yesterday, when Dinesh D’Souza called me the “Alan Wolfe of the right,” I offered an autographed copy of my book The Truth About Muhammad to the person who came up with the best “Dinesh D’Souza is the _____ of _____.”

There were so many good entries, however, that we’re going to have to have a runoff. Please vote for one of these in the comments field below:

2. Dinesh D’Souza - “Putting the ‘me’ in Dhimmi since 2007″ (Contributed by Bunratty Bill)
3. The Hooper of Hoover (Contributed by justask)
4. The huckster of the highbrows (Contributed by RecoveringHog)
5. Dinesh D’Souza: “Lawrence of Taqiyya” (Contributed by joeblough)
6. The Dilettante of Dhimmitude (Contributed by Brett_McS)
7. The Saladin of wishful thinking (Contributed by I<3Crusades)
8. A voice of reason among the Islamophobes (Contributed by Dinesh D’Souza)

And winning!!!

Jihad Watch - D’Souza, unable to refute what I actually say, makes up some things I don’t say and refutes them

Brett_McS is our contest winner, and Dinesh D’Souza is hereby crowned the Dilettante of Dhimmitude. Congratulations to Brett and Dinesh also — send your address, Brett, to me at director[at]jihadwatch.org, and I will send you an autographed copy of The Truth About Muhammad

And from the author himself! Well done, Brett!

I won a book once, about Scotland’s symbol stones. I won a contest back in the early days of the internet when it was me and about three other people competing. It came with a little customs label on it and everything. Marked “CDs”, mysteriously. That was fun.
