Author and leading neoconservative intellectual Midge Decter passed away on Monday, May 9, at age 94.
At the Media Research Center’s “2005 DisHonors Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of 2004,” Decter accepted in jest, on behalf of Janeane Garofalo, the “I’m Not a Political Genius But I Play One on TV Award.”
In this video (clipped for a post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog), from the April 21 gala held in the Grand Ballroom of the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C., you’ll see Neal Boortz announce the winner of the category and show the clip that earned Garofalo the “award,” then hear the humorous acceptance remarks from Decter.
