  1. Sun Times must be desparate if they’re quoting Jack Schaffer, whose career has been one cliche after another.

    He usually opens any introduction with a tired one-liner

    During the last governor’s primary he described Bill Brady and family as “right out of central casting”, which turned out to be a pathetic flop.

    Looking at Jack’s picture again, he kind of looks like Phil Pagano.

    Doesn’t he?

  2. Here’s the cliche’s resume.

    And the so called Brady pathetic flop narrowly lost to Quinn.
