— Best Columnist: Mark Steyn is the Michael Jordan of his profession.
— Best New Blogger: Michelle Malkin by a landslide…

— The Most Overblown Story Of 2004 Award: Torture at Abu Ghraib, which was perpetrated by a few perverts and would have dropped off the front pages in a couple of days had there been no pictures, was blown up into a major scandal by Democrats and biased journalists who were desperate to use it to attack the Bush administration.
