Saturday radio & video blogging *** Updated x1 ***
Saturday, Oct 21, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller *** UPDATE *** The Hotline’s blog reports that JBT’s campaign is dark this weekend. IL: According to Hotline sources, Treas. Judy Baar Topinka’s campaign is off the air this weekend, less than three weeks before election day. The earliest she could go back on the air is Monday afternoon at this point. Will she go on that soon or is she saving money for the last week? The Hotline is usually pretty good, but they appear to have blown this one, or at least worded it so obtusely that it could be claimed that they blew it. The Topinka campaign says they’ll be back on the air Monday and will not be dark next week. They won’t confirm, but word is they’ll debut a new TV ad. I would bet money that the new ad will be about this guy, but one never knows for sure. [Hat tip: ArchPundit] * It ain’t much, but gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney (G) is running two different radio ads “on WCPT-AM 850 AM, the Chicago Air America Affiliate, and various Illinois Radio Network Stations,” according to the Green Party. * Chicago Public Radio’s Shawn Allee filed this reported, entitled, “IL’s 10th Congressional District Dems Buoyed by Volunteer Group”
* This week’s edition of Illinois Public Radio’s State Week in Review is below. You can subscribe to the show’s podcast by clicking here. * The following Internet parody ad shouldn’t be watched by those who are overly sensitive. Because of foul language it is not safe for work. The “ad” is obviously a piece of satire. I take it as biting commentary on the over-the-top attacks on Topinka. Others might take it as biting commentary on Topinka herself. Satire can be like that sometimes. Either way, I think it’s brilliant. And brilliance is always controversial. So, please, don’t watch it if you’re easily offended, because I really don’t want to read a lot of “shame on you, Rich Miller” comments. You’ve been warned.
