Orcar's Gone To The Dogs, So Why Shouldn't The Pulitzer?

An opinion piece today at the New York Post's Online Edition titled No Oscar For Claudia opens this way:
The Pulitzer Prizes, the Academy Awards of journalism, were announced last week; The Washington Post and The New York Times scored heavily, as always.

What a bore.

What a joke, actually.

Because any journalism award committee that didn't automatically hand top honors to Claudia Rosett, a journalist-in-residence for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the columnist who has explained to the world the appalling United Nations' Oil-for-Food scandal, is trafficking in hollow honors.
Very rich. Read the whole thing.
