Wall Street Journal Pulitzer

If you will forgive a little bragging, one of my colleagues at the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal just won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. This is Joe Rago, a Dartmouth man, and his editorials were on Obamacare. It says something that even though the editorials were opposed to the bill, they were thought worthy of a Pulitzer. It's the WSJ's first for editorial writing in three decades. Congrats, Joe. And next time you read an editorial on health care there, you'll know why it reads so well.

Richly, richly deserved.
And in case anybody was wondering, yes, it's true. McGurn and I taught young Joe Rago everything he knows.
Re: Wall Street Journal Pulitzer
Congratulations to Joe! I'm proud to be able to claim to have read his work in the pages of the Dartmouth Review back when I was just a freshman in college.
Now on to the task of cajoling him onto Ricochet!

And he still won? Just kidding.
Even more amazing is that the WSJ hasn't won in 30 years. Far and away the best editorial page in America. I'll bet the Gray Lady wasn't shut out for three decades.

Re: Wall Street Journal Pulitzer
A Pulitzer? To a WSJ editorialist? I would double check just to make sure it isn't a fake, e.g., "Bulitzer" or "Pulitzah".

I don't read WSJ but perhaps I should. I only had to see the first couple of lines of this piece to realise that Steve Moore just hit a giant nail on the head. And a project begun on the backbenches right here at Ricochet a couple of days ago has suddenly become both important and urgent -- Imagine if this ad campaign hit the networks just as the waves Moore's piece begins to be felt.
I would say that there's a small window of time this particular meme has to become central to national discourse on the future of the nation. It would surely be helped with supporting visuals and talking points. Is there any chance someone with deep pockets and political vision could help fast-track Mr. Fitzpatrick's project?

I just bought a 1 year online subscription last week. Coincidence, I am sure.
