Capitol Fax.com - Your Illinois News Radar

The path to fame runs through a gallon of cough syrup

From the National Journal’s website today:

WE HEAR . . .

â‚¬ “Safire retired, and now we have John Tierney as a new Op-Ed columnist. … You don’t replace William Safire” — New York Times spokesperson Diane McNulty, on Tierney replacing Safire (EditorandPublisher.com).

â‚¬ “Had a bad case of the flu for the past few days. Feeling better today, but wasn’t able to work much yesterday” — today’s issue of Capitol Fax (fax).

â‚¬ “Jessica Simpson’s tummy aches, next on Headline News” — Los Angeles Times header.

Stuck between Safire and Simpson. Not sure how I feel about that.

(Thanks to Kristen for the heads up.)
