Exec Editor of National Enquirer: “Give us Pulitzer for John Edwards Story”

Well, too bad…according to ABC News it isn’t going to happen.

“According to the Pulitzer’s rules, the Enquirer may be ineligible on a technicality. “We checked the Enquirer Web site, and it apparently calls itself a magazine. Under our rules, magazines (both print and Web versions) and broadcast entities are ineligible,” said the prize administrator Sig Gissler.”

So, is “reporter” Alan Butterfields’ jackass-harrassment-moves worthy of a Pulitzer?

You decide. Get a load of the classy madness of what transpired…

“As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield questioned him about his hookup with Rielle. Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel. A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men’s room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel. Said reporter [Alexander] Hitchen: “After we confronted him about seeing Rielle, Edwards looked like a deer caught in headlights!”.

Congrats Mr. Hitchen, now can you get back to reporting exclusives on Katie Holmes Broadway Debut with Suri, and other meaningless drivel?

With that being said, Pulitzers have in the past been awarded to some wacky sex stories in the past, but either way I’m not losing sleep over this one.
