Judy Does Journalism, Pt.2-The Prison

Via Wonkette, we learn that Judith Miller was to continue that fall-on-her-sword-oh-poor-Judy routine, and receive a Conscience of the Media award. Seriously, where's the barf bag. But wait! It seems not really:

"NEW YORK The board of The American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) has voted unanimously to reverse an earlier decision to give its annual Conscience in Media award to jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller, E&P has learned.

The group's First Amendment committee had narrowly voted to give Miller the prize for her dedication to protecting sources, but the full board has now voted to overturn that decision, based on its opinion that her entire career, and even her current actions in the Plame/CIA leak case, cast doubt on her credentials for this award."

Her ENTIRE CAREER? Wow! Put these people in the White House press corps, please!

Seriously, what needs to happen beyond this most laudable step in the trash heap that is Miller's career, is what happened at the end of Dangerous Liasons, or Cruel Intentions: everyone, including you, Gwen Ifill, just ignore her (/media fantasy). Don't give her any more attention. Make her say,instead of "I was proved fucking right", say "I was held fucking accountable." (/more media fantasy)
