    I can't shake the feeling that the Blag got this media quid pro quo from Angelina Jolie.

    @dillweedmacker: Hah! Good one. But I think you're going to see a clusterfuck the likes of which you haven't seen since Paris Hilton went to jail, which is the only news story of interest for the past eight years.

    @Mediahohoho: It's been a long time since we've has a good clusterfuck involving politicians and crime. Maybe I only think this because Charlie Rose is interviewing Frank Langella about the Nixon flick in the background.

    @it takes a lot to laugh: My take exactly. A columnist isn't a patsy for using the governor who will pick a Senator for a source in a story about who that governor will pick for a Senator.

    @Nicholas Carlson: A patsy meaning someone unwittingly manipulated by larger forces for their own nefarious ends, which is pretty much exactly what this is.

    Gossip writers should stick to drunk actors getting busted in Walgreens, and certain DJ/ Actress visiting town. Leave the politics in the rest of the paper, by people qualified to write it.

    BTW - this all gives WAY more context to Obama's remark on Meet the Press that he doesn't want to speculate who will replace Hillary as he has his hands plenty full with Illinois politics.


    And, could someone put together a key as we fill in the anonymous parties? So far it seems like


    Senate Candidate 2 = Lisa Madigan
    Senate Candidate 5 = Art Turner or Jesse Jackson Jr.


    (This reminds me of the bar exam logic puzzles)
