LDV – the “establishment candidate”, apparently

The Guardian Backbencher has been distributing her Lib Dem conference awards, including:

Best Blog
Postings have been rather fewer than the Backbencher would have liked – though it may be down to a laudable reluctance to drink’n’blog. [Or the scarcity of computers in the internet café. – Ed] So the winner has to be the establishment candidate, Lib Dem Voice, for its interviews with Ming. Special commendations to James Graham of Quauequam Blog! for his firm treatment of mayoral contender Fiyaz Mughal, and Don Liberali for a nice dissection of the Huhne v Clegg saga.

Always nice to receive a plug (a link would be even nicer), but some mixed feelings about being labelled ‘establishment’. In tune with the new Ming Zing, LDV will continue to strive to be spiky, edgy, spunky, controversial and to rattle the cages of the Lib Dem blogosphere.

I’m also a bit confused that we’re alleged to have interviewed Ming. The Voice is sure we would have remembered, no matter how much we drank.

I guess they are referring to this, which they obviously thought was done by LDV…

Hey James,

Is it true that you are helping Brian. Me thinks so; slightly tainted in your outlook? Could be…..but I guess that the pay off for bloggers is good in the long term!
