Reality Check! PLAYBOY Honors the REAL Mavericks of America.
All this talk about McCain and Palin being "Mavericks" is TOTAL Bullshit!
To consider either one of these two people anywhere close to being able to legitimately wear that title is nothing but one of the major jokes of this election. :( If you want to know who some of the real "Mavericks" are in this country then take a look here at who PLAYBOY has identified and honored ... Playboy Foundation Names Winners of Hugh M. Hefner 1st Amendment Awards The Playboy Foundation named a high-school student, a retired technician and an attorney as the winners of the 2008 Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards in a ceremony held Tuesday evening at the Newseum in Washington. "These winners have shown extraordinary commitment to preserving the First Amendment rights of all Americans," said Christie Hefner, chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises Inc. "Their example is an inspiration to everyone who cares about the fundamental civil rights on which our democracy is based." Heather Gillman, 17, now a high school senior in Ponce de Leon, Fla., received a $10,000 award for speaking out on behalf of the rights of gay students. Gillman successfully sued the local school board after her high school principal banned students from wearing T-shirts, stickers, buttons or symbols showing support of equal rights for gay students. Mark Klein, of Alameda, Calif., a retired AT&T technician, received a $10,000 award for speaking out against the National Security Agency's covert, illegal computer spying operation, which used AT&T to secretly intercept billions of private Internet communications sent and received by Americans. Greg Lukianoff, New York-based attorney and president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, received the new $25,000 Freedom of Expression Award in recognition of his efforts to defend First Amendment rights of students and faculty on college campuses across the U.S. Playboy CEO Christie Hefner created the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards in 1979 to honor individuals who have "contributed significantly to the vital effort to protect and enhance First Amendment rights for Americans." More than 125 advocates for First Amendment freedoms have been recognized with the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards.
