A Pulitzer for Hair Reviews?

In another item from Special Report, it apparently doesn't take much to win a Pulitzer either:

The Pulitzer Prize for criticism this year went to Washington Post fashion commentator Robin Givhan for what the judges called her "witty, closely observed essays that transform fashion criticism into cultural criticism." Givhan is probably best remembered for ridiculing then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris' appearance during the 2000 election recount. She also commented at some length on the candidate's hair in the 2004 presidential race.

President Bush, she said, has an "unremarkable dull gray thatch" that "never seems to glisten even ... in direct sunlight" and Dick Cheney's few strands "are so lacking in body and bounce that... they don't even register as wisps."

As for John Edwards, well, Givhan wrote of his "beautiful shade of chocolate brown with honey-colored highlights," which she said "looks so healthy and buoyant and practically cries out to be tousled." And of John Kerry's full head of hair Givhan wrote "What man wouldn't gloat, just a little?"

To get the full effect of this report, you really had to see Brit Hume pronounce that last sentence. It was classic.
