Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. Today's Moment concerns Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner who was euthanized yesterday. The Rocky Mountain News' Bernie Lincicome gives a fond look back ("We can blame Ben Roethlisberger for bad judgment, but we can only weep for Barbaro."). The best bit comes in the middle:

Failure after failure passed by, leaving few tracks beyond hoof marks in the stall. And now the news crawl updates the condition of Barbaro, endless bits indistinguishable from Middle East death counts and weather warnings.Well, a crippled Tiny Tim thawed the icy heart of Scrooge, after all. And Barbaro has less a chance of ever walking right again. God bless us, every one.

Of course, Bernie. Of course.
