Cast back your minds for a moment to June, and to our most recent A.W.I. poll. We can now report that perennials Harry and Meghan won that one, with 40.5 percent, followed by the pre-emptively defensive Samuel Alito, with 29.7 percent, and lifetime over-achiever (in this context only) Donald Trump, with 16.2 percent.
Now a special tip of the hat to Yevgeny Prigozhin, who, though doubtlessly aware that the A.W.I. was on a two-week break, nevertheless used the downtime to—there’s no other way to put it—march on Moscow with a rebel army. Even though he must have known it wouldn’t count toward this competition. Now that’s an attention whore.
