Walsh and Bean in Washington

They are both 48 years old, but one is at the beginning of a Congressional term and the other near the beginning of the end.

While liberal Democrat Melissa Bean has not conceded her narrow loss to conservative Republican Joe Walsh, Walsh got top billing in a Chicago Tribune article Tuesday.

He and his wife Helene are featured in a page wide photo in front of the national’s Capitol.

Bean is seen below sitting behind her huge desk looking at papers.

Reporter Katherine Skiba started the article telling of how Walsh stuck out his tongue at a lawyer and a news reporter.

She characterized it as “comedy—or a case of nerves.”

My guess is that Walsh has not left the “wearing of his feelings on his sleeve” in Illinois.

The article is basically about freshman orientation.

As usual, Bean refused to talk to the reporter.
