Any award for this lawyer who's defending us?

We've heard from so many “First Amendment” MSM news editors offering tortured pieties about why they won’t publish the cartoons

Then there’s law professor and blogger Glenn Reynolds today:

apparently various ignorant thugs are threatening sites that post them. So I guess that makes it my turn. Here are a couple of the better ones. More will follow if this nonsense keeps up.
Each year, journalism schools and professional associations hand out lots of awards honoring people “For Defense of Freedom” and “Courageous Journalism in the National Interest” and so forth.

Almost always, the honorees are fellow journalists.

But given what's happened the past few weeks, do you think there’s a chance some journalism school or professional association will see in Reynolds’ action the kind of courage journalists are always talking about; and give him an award?

Ok, I didn’t think so either.

Anyway, Reynolds is a lawyer to love. And a great blogger, too.
