Uh oh Gwen Ifill, don’t get jealous.

Criteria for winning was rough: Be intelligent and be from Oklahoma. “Judy Woodruff is passionate about serious journalism and knows as much about American politics and American government as any reporter in the business. On top of that, she is a native Oklahoman,” said Gaylord College Dean Joe Foote.

In a release, which notes that Woodruff will co-host convention coverage alongside Ifill, the university calls Woodruff “a pioneer for women in the media.” Her career spans more than 40 years covering politics and serving as Washington correspondent for NBC, CNN and PBS. Woodruff is a senior correspondent for the PBS NewsHour. She also hosts a monthly show, “Conversations with Judy Woodruff,” for Bloomberg TV.

Congratulations to Woodruff!

A “kid aide” shields Cain from the media at NPC.

Cain shielded from media

“#HermanCain has kid aide, red rope blocking anyone from approaching his side of head table.” — Chicago Sun-Times Washington Bureau Chief Lynn Sweet, who snapped the above photograph.

Drudge Whores

“Drudge interested in the Cain story.” — Politico‘s Ben Smith. Politico did land top billing on Drudge: “POLITICO: Two Women Accused Cain of Inappropriate Behavior…Reporter: ‘We’re Not Going To Get Into Details Of Exactly What Happened’…”

The Judge

“Nothing proclaims self-confident innocence like a refusal to answer questions.” –  David Frum.

Politico‘s Lobby is for Animal Lovers

“Puppies in the @Politico lobby!” — Politico Pro’s Dan Berman. Some may recall that there was recently a penguin in Politico‘s lobby.

Reporters treated like sh&% at AEI-Cain event?

“AEI now barring several reporters from leaving until Cain does. AEI has really had Cain’s back today.” — TPM‘s Evan McMorris-Santoro.

“Note to AEI press officials: you can’t control the subjects the press ask. & if you try you look like the Russians.” — L.A.-based HuffPost blogger Richard Grenell.

“AEI staff not letting reporters out until Cain leaves. Blocking exits.” — Yahoo! News’s Chris Moody.

Who landed Cain? Washington journos who interviewed GOP Presidential contender Herman Cain last night: FNC’s Greta Van Susteren and PBS’s Judy Woodruff. More about his TV appearances in the last 24 hours here.

While Washington spent the day obsessed with Cain, WTOP’s dirty mind went here: “Better sex, health with caveman diet, restaurant claims.” Read here.

Capehart boasts about tie to Mitchell

“Vintage Gucci, Andrea” — WaPo‘s Jonathan Capehart to NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Andrea Mitchell after she complimented him on his orange Halloween tie on her program Monday.

Fun and Games

“I’m vaguely familiar with the Sheriff. #ButNotTheDeputy #CainSchool” — Mother Jones‘s Washington Bureau Chief David Corn couldn’t stop providing examples of “Cain School.” Pretty funny sequence of Tweets, actually.

The Media Critic

“Greta Van S on Fox News doing a good job working over Cain, giving him as much rope as he wants.” — The Guardian‘s Richard Adams on Van Susteren’s interview with Cain last night.

Hazy is the “Hot Maddow”

“New issue of Rolling Stone labels @chrislhayes the “Hot Maddow.” #okaythen” — Slate‘s Dave Weigel on fellow Boybander MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, who has slowly but surely been morphing into colleague Rachel Maddow.

Unnecessary Tweet of the Day

“I cant decide if I should wear rollerblades to the bars tonight or not.” — Katherine Kennedy. Light bulb: Maybe Corn can help you with that and you can help him with his TV purchase.

Had you walked through the doors of the St. Regis Hotel at this time last night, there’s a good chance you would have bumped into Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) making a quick exit from the fete for Bob Schieffer’s 20th anniversary with “Face the Nation.”  But a brush with the House Minority Leader was only an appetizer for the smorgasbord of the bipartisan political power that partied inside the hotel’s Astor Ballroom.  Raising a glass to the legendary newsman were current and former Secretaries of Defense Leon Panetta and Donald Rumsfeld, Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) who has appeared on Face the Nation more than any other guest.  Representing the White House were Dag Vega and Jen Psaki.

In his remarks, a flattered Schieffer joked that when he first got to Washington, Republicans and Democrats always attended parties together.  “But now it’s a big deal,” he told the crowded room.

The Washington press corps were also out in full force for Bob’s big night.  Spotted in the crowd were Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee, Bob Woodward, FNC’s Ed Henry, NBC’s David Gregory and Betsy Fischer, Politico’s Jonathan Martin, Keach Hagey, Mike Allen and Patrick Gavin, Newshour’s Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff, Bloomberg’s Margaret Carlson, NYT’s David Sanger, WaPo’s Roxanne Roberts, and Steve Chaggaris. Rounding out the room were a slew of CBS talent and staff such as former “Face the Nation” EP Carin Pratt and current EP Mary Hager, Rob Hendin,  Kaylee Hartung, Chris Licht, Lara Logan, Jan Crawford, Nancy Cordes, Chip Reid, Bob Orr, Wyatt Andrews, John Dickerson, Christine Delargy, Walt Cronkite (Walter Cronkite’s grandson who now works in the DC bureau), Chris Isham and of course, the evening’s hosts and top network brass Jeff Fager and David Rhodes. Noticeably absent was new CBS News White House correspondent Norah O’Donnell who was in New York City covering the president and UN.

Throughout the evening a video highlighting Bob’s career played in the background – you can check it out here.  And if you missed our must-read interview with Schieffer last week, click here.

In a statement today, Jim Lehrer said, “I have been laboring in the glories of daily journalism for 52 years…36 of them here at the Newshour and its earlier incarnations…and there comes a time to step aside from the daily process, and that time has arrived.”

Senior Correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, Jeffrey Brown, Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner will continue hosting the PBS Newshour on a rotating basis after Lehrer’s departure.

Gwen Ifill

The station was selected by a panel of judges for “through and balanced” political coverage. Ifill and Judy Woodruff were singled out for “focusing on the issues” and avoiding “the horserace component that is so typical in political coverage.” Four pieces in particular, produced by Mary Jo Brooks, Terence Burlij, and Sarah Clune, received awards.

She began her remarks:

It does us all good to see that – no matter what you read, see and hear out there – serious journalism still matters. It’s all I ever wanted to do, and I think I speak for everyone here in saying that we are drawn to journalism for the nobility that can be found in telling untold stories, or in shedding light rather than heat on the over-told ones.

Ifill also set aside time to brag. “When I visit college campuses, students often tell me, ‘I only watch Jon Stewart.’ And I tell them: ‘Jon Stewart watches me.’” She added that Cronkite told her he watched “Newshour” every night.

“If it sounds like I’m boasting, you’re right,” she said. “We are justifiably proud of what we do.”

Woodruff and Wilber

On Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 7.30 pm, PBS “NewsHour” senior correspondent Judy Woodruff will moderate a panel discussion on the 30th anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.  The Newseum event will feature the two men who played key roles in saving the president’s life and WaPo’s Del Quentin Wilber who recently authored a new book that provides the first detailed narrative of the day’s events.

• Jerry Parr, former Secret Service agent and head of Reagan’s security detail, who was at the president’s side when the would-be-assassin, John Hinckley, opened fire outside the hotel. Parr’s quick actions saved Reagan’s life.

• Dr. Joseph Giordano, professor emeritus of surgery and former chairman of the Department of Surgery at the George Washington University Hospital, who founded the hospital’s trauma team. It was that team which Giordano oversaw that played a key role in saving Reagan’s life.

• Del Quentin Wilber, Washington Post staff writer and author of the new book “Rawhide Down,” which draws on exclusive new interviews with more than 125 people to chronicle that perilous day.

The program will also feature archival news footage from broadcast and cable news networks on March 30, 1981, which illustrates some of the chaos and confusion of that day’s news coverage.  The event is free for Newseum members and $10 for non-members.  Visit the Newseum’s site here for more details or to purchase tickets.

The reception is set for March 13 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.  — one day after the dinner. Forget the white-tie. Dress for this is business attire.

Completely unrelated side note: Other Harvard Club events include (no joke): “Winter Skin Essentials for All at Kiehls,” a “Valentine Card Workshop” and “Intro to Handwriting Analysis.”

An excerpt from the Gridiron afternoon event: For 126 years, the Gridiron Club has regaled an annual white-tie dinner with satire and songs that skewer Presidents and congressional leaders, lobbyists and sacred cows. Saturday night’s Spring Dinner sponsored by the Gridiron, Washington’s oldest organization of journalists, is attended by 600 people invited by the Club’s membership, which is limited to 65 of the capital’s most respected reporters and columnists.

Now we are opening our Sunday afternoon performance, given for friends and family, to a wider audience that includes members of Washington-based college alumni groups and State Societies. As the incoming president of the Gridiron Club and Foundation, I’m writing to invite your group to participate. The Gridiron’s Sunday Reprise will be on March 13, 2011, in the ballroom of the Washington Renaissance Hotel, 999 Ninth Street NW.

The invitation notes, “We think your members would have a ball at our show, one of Washington’s signature events.”

What journos should they expect to see at the $75 Washington Renaissance Hotel afternoon event? Find out…

My eyes are glazing over just reading this release, so let’s get this over with. The Atlantic is hosting some kind of event with “interviews, discussions, and debates” on February 9 at the Newseum. It has one of the longer event titles we’ve seen in recent history: “The Atlantic‘s Live Digital Town Hall: Finding Work, Finding Our Way: Building the Economy and Jobs of the Future.”

The program will feature a bunch of important people, including National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling and FCC Chair Julius Genachowski, along with Virgina Gov. Bob McDonnell, former OMB director and husband of ABC’s Bianna Golodryga, Peter Orszag, and PBS’ Judy Woodruff.

It’s going to be way better than it sounds (we hope).
