Gene Weingarten is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist known for both his serious and humorous work for the Washington Post.

Meritorious Achievement in The Crazy

Michelle Bachmann, for all of these and the declaration that gays are free to marry people of the opposite sex. (Like the Pulitzer board often does, I am moving this from category two, where it didn’t belong. It’s not a gaffe, it’s a crazy.)

Best Election Gaffe

Rick Perry

Most Outrageous Fib Issued By A Politician

Jon Kyl

Outstanding Achievement In Corruption-based Chutzpah

William F. Boyland. You have to admire the chutzpah.

Best Scandal — Sex and Generalized Carnality

Weiner. It’s an especially wonderful achievement because it was spectacularly sleazy and unkempt, yet at the same time, NOT CORRUPT.

Best Scandal — Local Venue

Chris Myers

Best Scandal — General Interest

Weiner. He gets sloppy seconds on style points. It was just the greatest. I miss him so.
