National Enquirer = Pulitzer?!

Made Me LOL of the Day: The executive editor of the National Enquirer says he plans to enter his paper's work on the John Edwards scandal for a Pulitzer Prize.

As I read this, I actually slapped my hand on my desk several times yelling, "LOVE IT!" I'm an irony-loving dork like that.

My mom used to bring home The National Enquirer when I was a kid. My dad was a traditional journalist. Ying yang, baby. We all used to mock the rag when we saw it. We each tried to get Mom to stop wasting her money and time reading the made-up stories. Well, we all have egg on our faces now, don't we?!

You know things are effed up in the MSM when the National-frickin'-Enquirer is a reliable source of news. And this wasn't just some news, it was HUGE news. And where was Barry's beloved, our used to be reliable, MSM on this story?

~cue muzzles~

I hope they win it. I hope the Pulitzer folks are all IN YOUR FACE MSM! Maybe that would shame the MSM into doing their jobs again, and thereby causing people to be interested enough to buy newspapers, which would then mean more created jobs, ending with a new era of prosperity for all!

Wouldn't that be ironic? Pretend Headline: National Enquirer saves economy by reporting actual news!



Again, LOVE IT! ~gleeful desk hand pound here~

This would be awesome!! LOL!

I read the excerpt on the Edwards in the new book and it's stunning how he and Lady McBeth really were, and yet the MSM never even hinted at the truth. Even after the Enquirer began printing article after article (with proof) the MSM ignored it. The MSM deserves a lot of shame for that.

I'm only disappointed that the Enquirer didn't reveal that Edwards is actually an alien from Planet X and the baby is half-alien. Seriously, now, did Edwards ever seem totally human to anyone? LOL

The smartest thing the Pulitzer Committee could so is take away liar NY Times reporter Walter Duranty's prize and give it to the Enquirer.

law: ohpleasepleaseplease...maybe if we made a "PULITZER for the National Enquirer" facebook page that would convince the committee.
