When you bestow a Pulitzer Prize upon Robin Givhan, you only encourage stuff like this: MORE »

This afternoon, after blogging about Robin Givhan’s Pulitzer Prize win, we received this email from a reader: “Was Robin Givhan married to Mike Tyson? Was this the same woman?” MORE »

Yesterday, Washington Post Fashion writer Robin Givhan won a Pulitzer prize for criticism. She received the news in the Post’s newsroom in Washington, D.C., wearing a sensible Ivory-colored sweater that represented a consolation of sorts to the purposefully unflashy style of her Beltway-locked coworkers (Ms. Givhan lives and works from New York). On her left hand, riding astride her middle finger, was a magniloquent amber ring, a hint of Uptown frission and a protective barrier — intentional or no — against the dowdification (though not necessarily Dowd-ification) of a DC newsroom.

The Post beat the Times — Jay Rosen, you’re a genius! — 4-3 due entirely to, we like to think, Robin Givhan’s crazy Style column. Besides Givhan, Post winners include David Finkel, Dana Priest, and the Abramoff reporting team of Susan Schmidt, James V. Grimaldi and R. Jeffrey Smith (Eisler’s not gonna be happy about that one…) MORE »

Check out Harry Jaffe’s puff piece in the Washingtonian about Robin Givhan, the Washington Post’s “fashion critic.” Not a bad life, eh? MORE »

In trying to explain why it took him so long to inform the public about his shooting of Harry Whittington, Dick Cheney has offered the excuse that the story was “complicated.” While taking last week’s newspapers to the recycling bin today, we came across this discussion of the Cheney shooting incident in KidsPost, the Washington Post’s page for children: MORE »

The U.S. Capitol Police has a very important mission: “preventing, detecting, and investigating criminal acts,” in and around the U.S. Capitol Building — except when those acts involve congressmen and lobbyists. The Capitol Police is the inspiration for our latest Wonkette feature, “Capitol Fashion Police,” in which we will go out — okay, not really, you’ll just email us photos — and heap scorn upon violators of the laws of fashion.

It’s true that when it comes to style, no one would confuse Washington with Milan, Paris, or New York. We live in the nation’s political capital, not its fashion capital. New York boasts the finest fashion writers the glossy mag world has to offer, and we have… Robin Givhan. Our Gotham-based, style-conscious sister offers up the undeniably fabulous Looking at the Look Book, and we give you the admittedly lame “Capitol Fashion Police.”

Be that as it may, clearly some fashion standards, however low, must be enforced in this city. And who better to set them than a bunch of pajama-clad bloggers?

Today’s victim, er, subject, is Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, who showed up on MSNBC to discuss the Dick Cheney hunting incident looking like this:

Michelle Malkin and Tom Elia argue that Milbank’s stunt raises questions about the objectivity of his journalism. Journalistic ethics? Pish posh! We’re more concerned about his fashion transgressions.

After the jump, we execute a “fashion police arrest” upon Dana Milbank, with the able assistance of Ana Marie Cox, Wonkette Emerita.
