Let’s face it, if the New York Times or the Washington Post broke the Edwards story no one would be asking if the paper should be in the running for the Pulitzer. It’s only a question because it’s the Enquirer.
For the record, I’m not saying the Enquirer deserves to win. But I am glad it’s in contention. The Enquirer humiliated all those newspapers that consider themselves Pulitzer-worthy – the ones that treated the true-blue liberal Edwards as a serious candidate and a serious political force in the campaign while the “trashy” Enquirer knew better.
Brilliant, yet again.
