I’m not passing judgment, just passing along: The National Enquirer—yes that one—is being submitted for a Pulitzer Prize for its “journalism” surrounding the John Edwards affair/love child scandal.

Yes, I’m chuckling too. I love this quote from the paper’s editor: “At the end of the day, it’s great to see he’s taking responsibility for this child, Frances Quinn. She needs to know who her father is.” And the WaPo’s witty response: “Yes, the editor of the Enquirer is now instructing the former vice presidential nominee on matters of morality.”

I would have to say the Enquirer did make a hell of an effort to give this story legs from the beginning, but a Pulitzer? What do you think?
