Dana Priest didn't get a Pulitzer for her great writing.
That's been my thought ever since she received the prize. What exactly did she do to earn the prize? Was her writing itself spectacular? Did she spend months digging for information? Is she being honored for convincing a career employee of the CIA to forsake her country? Or did a story simply fall into her lap as easily as it could have been dropped on any journalist?
Dana Priest will display her Pulitzer with pride. At best, I'd be ashamed for earning such a coveted prize the way she did, or upset that such a prize has turned into a political football and the judges thought of me.
Or did a story simply fall into her lap as easily as it could have been dropped on any journalist? It will be interesting to see who sought out whom. My guess right now is that McCarthy sought out Priest as the liberal-on-the-beat with a bully pulpit in the Wa Po.
Which means Priest got the Pulitzer as "Conduit of the Year" from the Media Wing of the Clintonista Cabal. Look for her to start turning up on the talking-head shows, which is the Rat Media's way of rewarding their agitprop footsoldiers.
McCarthy, of course, will go on to become Deputy DCI or something under Hildebeast. Maybe even NSA -- you know we'll need girls in all those heavy-duty jobs, just to prove that women can do the job so much better than men can. (That'll be a major theme of the Hillary Presidency: "America needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.")
