#rsrh @jaketapper wins Merriman Smith Award.

Very cool.

ABC News president David Westin toasted Jake Tapper last night as the ABC News White House correspondent was honored with the Merriman Smith Award for presidential news coverage at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

I like Jake: he’s a good reporter.  In fact, he’d deserve the award even if pretty much everybody else eligible for it in the mainstream media didn’t suck utterly at covering this administration.

Oops, did I just type that out?
