This article from Salon.com is about three months old, but I was just told about it this past weekend.
If David Mamet didn't write the profane, wiretapped dialogue for the Illinois governor's attempt to sell Obama's Senate seat, he should have. A play in one act.
It's probably funniest if you're a theatre person who lives in Illinois, which I am, but I think it transcends even those parameters. If nothing else, you can marvel at how the residents of my adopted state could have elected a public official who has the mouth of a pirate.
Also, this brings up a Sophie's choice for me, in that if both Blago and Mamet were on fire on the side of the road, I'd have a hard time deciding which to pee on. I'm not a big fan of either.
Hence, I lurve this article.
