Fame Duck Congressman

Your LakeCountyEye noted that short-timer 10th District Congressman Mark Kirk cashed out last week on his allotted 15 minutes of fame ...

Of course the difference between some Internet political blog and cable news is the difference between dog years and human years. Which according to your LakeCountyEye's math, nets Kirk an additional 105 minutes of fame (15 x 7).

Your LakeCountyEye hasn't actually watched the video and doesn't know what Maddow is saying about Kirk. Although your LakeCountyEye wagers Maddow would be talking smack, and Kirk can look forward to more given that he is a US Senate candidate. Which is different than running for the House. Totally.

Anyhow your LakeCountyEye has no pony in this race but wanted to get the video posted before Ellen of the Tenth.

Why not, it's already made the rounds on Facebook. I hope Rachel Maddow keeps after him. I think she's a lot smarter than he is, so it should be fun.

The only problem is that the Dem's candidate is umm, less than stellar.

Sad but true. How did this happen?
