Given the nature of today’s reporting at the Trib–it is easier to just send one to the front page. Reports on the hearings, column by Zorn and pics are the highlights.

Mike Madigan does not get endorsed by the Tribune.
22nd District (Southwest Side): “Republican” Terrence Goggin has long been a wholly owned subsidiary of House Speaker Michael Madigan. The speaker’s political workers put Goggin on the ballot, then he hides for the duration of the campaign. This is the fourth time he has been Madigan’s opponent. This is not a real race, so there is no endorsement.
Kass on Ryan and Joyce
Kass on Ryan and Joyce
Kass points out the problem with Ryan’s claims of Blago being a Daley tool. It isn’t exactly accurate. He also points out how Daley has taken out the Democratic candidtates recently. Blago and Mell aren’t perfect, but they have more distance from the combine than does Ryan.
The bigger problem for J-Ry is that kind of bashing only turns out the base–and he needs a lot more than the base this year.
John Fund: HACK Let’s look
John Fund: HACK
Let’s look at John Fund’s little screed compared to the Argus Leader article on vote fraud in South Dakota. Is there a bit of cognitive disconnect here or what?
The Democrats have to be more careful about their registration drives. By only providing the incentive of per registration pay, some fraud is inevitable. Democrats need to monitor workers better or they are going to be embarressed by such problems.
This is not a major scandal and the Argus Leader points this out. All vote fraud is serious, but perspective is necessary. John Fund has none. Why not? Duh.

Death by 1000 cuts
Jeb’s real problem is that everyone around him is so worried about winning, they are making him look much worse. Suppressing a critical report is far worse than a critical report.

They’re So…..MidlandIf you want to read a piece that just drips with effete condescension, look no further than today’s New York Times editorial about Laura Bush. The editors aren’t just better than she is, they know better too.
The article was quite complimentary.

Sniper Terrorism?Steve Dunleavy has a remarkably strong column today on the possibility that the Washington-area sniper(s) may well be terrorists. Read it.
Remarkably strong? I’m not sure when blathering navel gazing with no evidence is remarkably strong, but it is John Ellis after all.
Ellis does have a great analysis of the importance of Govenors for Presidential Elections.

After making a lame attempt to ridicule Sully yesterday I felt kinda dumb. Fortunately, he makes a bigger ass of himself in Salon today.
Even George Will has commented on the stupidity of calling containment appeasement.
Is Salon running this column as a humor column? I mean really, Sullivan can write decent articles, but this schlock is unbelievable.
