2005 Pulitzer Prize Winners

The 2005 Pulitzer Prize winners have been announced. The commentary award went to Connie Schultz, someone I've never heard of or read, for "her pungent columns that provided a voice for the underdog and underprivileged." Sounds like Connie is a big government liberal. Michelle Malkin's right, Claudia Rosett should have one. But heaven forbid honoring someone for showing how corrupt and incompetent the U.N. is.

In the history book catagory David Hackett Fischer won for his Washington's Crossing. It's a book I've heard nothing but good things about. In the biography catagory Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan won for their book on de Kooning. It's a book I've never heard of. Not a surprise since I'm not much into art. In the non-fiction book catagory Steve Coll's Ghost Wars won. I acknowlege this book about the CIA's secret war in Afghanistan but can't comment further.
