Just hand me the procrastination award.
Last March I introduced the Opprobrium Awards for Outstanding Performance in the Achievement of Journalist Shame, but this March came and went (more lionlike than lambish at my house) with no new Oppies in sight.
No one has picked up the coveted Sour Pickler Award for Simple Sleazy Reporting.
No one has gotten the Miller Award for Lifetime Achievement in Stenography.
No one has been congratulated on their win of a Golden Gerstein for Worst Punditry of the Year.
And those are just the initial categories set up last year. Surely there are other expressions of um, special journalist achievement, to be celebrated.
Personally, I think Washington Times columnist Andrew Breitbart has to win something for his declaration that it's wrong to call the murder of Matthew Shepard a "hate crime" but perfectly all right to declare that "political correctness is torture."
Have your own favorites? Drop them right over here, in the big porcelain bedpan nominee jar.
