Still Using the Training Wheels

You remember a few days ago when I was explaining "Chicago Machine Politics" and how it all works?

Well, I forgot one very important aspect of the Machine. They can play hardball against their enemies.

There was a Chicago Tribune article today http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2009/11/white_house_fox_offlimits_stra.html
about the White House torquing down the screws on political analysts who appear on Fox News.

After a democrat analyst appeared the other night he got a phone call from the White House telling him to stop giving interviews on Fox or he would be blackballed from advising democrat candidates.

Now that's Chicago politics.
