What's funny is that anyone at The Stranger thinks they could get a Pulitzer.

@#1
That's why the logical candidate is Dan Savage - of the bunch, he's the one not limited to The Stranger.

Of course, he also seems less likely than the others to make cluelessly obnoxious statements like this, or for that matter to hang around the newsroom. It's a bit of a wash, really.

In this case, I don't think "Pulitzer" means what we think it means...

Sounds like a pompous enough statement to be said by Goldy. I vote Goldy! (Sorry, Goldy. Don't hate me.)

I'm surprised Grant Brissey isn't one of the choices.

I could win this poll if I wanted to.

Notice it says "get a Pulitzer", not "win" or "earn". I'm sure that any of us, given the determination and the address of a Pulitzer winner could get a Pulitzer.

Wait, which news intern?

I believe it's Charles, but I voted Goldy for the same reason Megan had.

Posted by Matt from Denver on November 1, 2011 at 3:25 PM

Yeah, I voted Goldy. I'm surprised at all the Mudede votes.

haha the guy who has written maybe 2 features -- neither of them any good -- is at 16%? lawlin at dumb stranger readers who worship dan.

Posted by Swearengen on November 1, 2011 at 4:02 PM

I think it's Goldy, but I voted Mudede because I really, really want it to be him.

Posted by emor on November 1, 2011 at 4:09 PM

I'm sure Goldy would say it, but he would be joking.

Charles would say it and mean it.

Posted by kitschnsync on November 1, 2011 at 4:20 PM

dan could get it, chuckles might think it, but goldy would say it.

Posted by tournant on November 1, 2011 at 4:23 PM

Mudede thinks he's that interesting (it has nothing to do with *what* they write, it's just ego in this case.

Posted by fuddy on November 1, 2011 at 4:37 PM

Brendan should get it, for his series on levamisole in cocaine.

"... I know a guy."

Posted by Dougsf on November 1, 2011 at 5:17 PM

I think Charles could get one but Goldy or Unpaid Intern would say that.

Posted by care bear on November 1, 2011 at 5:24 PM

Are Dan and I the only faggots old enough to remember Roxanne Pulitzer, who got "got" by everyone in Palm Beach and appeared in Playboy to pay her divorce lawyer's bills?

She'd be 61 by now, so Goldy's age. Yeah, he could get her I bet.
