Washington Post: Tee Hee.

If you scroll down, there's a question about the coronation here, in a transcript of "Reliable Sources"'s online chat.

Rockville, Md.: So when are you going to report on the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's "coronation" at the Dirksen Senate office building? Seems to me this would be right up your alley. There's video of bashful congressmen carrying the crown and everything!

Richard Leiby: Please send us the Web site address. But meanwhile, here's a wonderful picture of the event. Rocci is posting now.

So I guess Richard must be on his way over to this site. Richard, it's not too late to win a Pulitzer. Write about this, and we'll split one.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
