More unsolicited advice
Tuesday, Jun 16, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * Dear Chicago Tribunesters, I know some of y’all are probably proud of your company. Heck, I’m proud of my company. Then again, my company isn’t under two federal investigations, my company didn’t just file for bankruptcy, my company never used its editorial powers to browbeat politicians into voting to allow lights at my decrepit, company-owned ballpark, my company never used all its powers to snag a riverboat casino, my company never “put on hiatus” one of the better state politics radio shows in recent memory, my company never endorsed George Ryan for governor and I, as company owner, have never been referred to as “the ultimate vulture.” At least not to my face. So y’all will have to excuse me for spitting Pepsi on my keyboard when I saw this lede in the Tribune earlier today…
Sheesh. * Dear Jim Tobin, What’s with your crusade against the Illinois State Police? Did you get a lot of tickets or something? No offense. Just asking…
…As an addendum, why would any reporter quote this guy? * Dear Sen. Burris, Just go away already…
* Dear President Obama, I understand why you dissed California…
But, heck, man, your home state needs you now. We’re in seriously deep doo-doo here. Plus, did this dance with Pat Quinn mean nothing to you all those years ago? ![]() Your turn.

Not much of a blockbuster *** UPDATED x1 ***
Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * This is not new news…
We’ve known that Lisa Madigan was Senate Candidate 2 in the federal arrest report since Day One. * And this isn’t new news, either…
I’ve already reported that, and it can also be inferred from the arrest report…
And this is the story Blagojevich leaked to Sneed back in November…
There was no way that plan would’ve worked anyway. Speaker Madigan wouldn’t even return Blagojevich’s calls and refused to meet with him. No way would he have cut a big legislative deal like that based on a Senate appointment for his daughter. * And this isn’t new, either…
Read down in the story…
The only thing that may be new is that Durbin said he’d help. Trouble is, according to the story, Blagojevich told Durbin to “do nothing” and never got back to him. *** UPDATE - 10:14 am *** From the Southern Illinoisan…
