National Enquirer Wants Pulitzer Prize: Chris Vaughn

It is a great piece of journalism that The National Enquirer did in breaking the John Edwards scandal. I guess you can find true gems of reporting in the National Enquirer, between the celebrity bikini shots and fad diet advertisements, but if they are calling themselves a "magazine" and not a "newspaper" can you fault the Pulitzer Prize selection committee for not considering them? Rules and Standards are there for a reason, and I don't fault the good Pulitzer Prize folks one bit. Now, that being said, credit should always be given where credit is due. Maybe some sort of award recognition should be bestowed on magazines like The National Enquirer, The Globe, and maybe even Weekly World News (I'm always up for a good Alien Abduction story from Weekly World News,) but until such an award exist I guess The National Enquirer will just have to except the thanks of a grateful nation that they were the journalistic watchdogs that let America know about John Edwards and his great moral failings.
 
Now, let's see just what The National Enquirer has to say about Lindsay Lohan's anorexic beach body being seen out with former reality t.v. star Jon Goslin and Andy Dick at the Octo-Mom's Beach Blanket Birthday bash for Paris Hilton.
