He was complimenting you on your "Hills" zing, AM ... not necessarily an Adams Morgan original, but we'll take it!

Must hurt, turning yourself like a pretzel like that. Zing!

How is that a zing? He wrote that weeks ago. He's failed to comment on the actual win (which was historic for the paper). And no offense, but the week's old comment wasn't necessarily a Wemple original...many folks in the industry were saying the same things about the Post's potential to win for those pieces. He wasn't exactly going out on a limb there.

How about this, from Wemple's post about Downie maybe or maybe not leaving:

Despite the pain, Downie’s standing as a newsman has rarely appeared stronger. Last year was among the most astounding in terms of the Post’s impact. The investigation of Vice President Dick Cheney, a series on neglected soldiers at Walter Reed, and aggressive daily coverage of the massacre at Virginia Tech are all strong candidates for Pulitzer prizes. The paper’s Web site, too, is among the industry’s best.

Oh, and AM? ZING!

It's been more than 24 hours since the Post recieved six Pulitzer's and yet nothing from you Mr. Wemple? Is it simply too painful for you to write one nice thing about the paper (although I will note that you did just compliment Howie Kurtz). BTW, "spendy"? How so "The Hills".
