You Don't Know The Face, But You Know the Name...
Welcome to the most honest blog in all of politics. Yes, we are one of the few blogs around that is willing to admit that WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING. Just all of the useless stuff, and some worthwhile info... We almost got busted today for it, but who could blame us?
I went onto The Hill.com to get the list of all of Barack Obama's cabinet nominees, and other important post assignments, mainly to pick on them. However, one just jumped out at me. The name was superfamiliar to me, and I'd never seen i involved in politics before. So I had to investigate....
The name was Jon Favreau. For most of you, including myself, you would likely think that Jon Favreau is the actor/director/writer best known for 'Swingers', 'Rudy', and 'The Breakup'....Nope.
It appears that nearly everyone in Chicago is named Jon Favreau - including Obama's speech writer going back to 2005! It seemed to make sense. Favreau seems a bit towards the Hollywood liberal side, he's got plenty of money from acting and writing screenplays, and we thought that maybe he just decided to take a break from it to write Obama's speeches. Not quite.
Fortunately, we caught this one before it made print here. Good thing too, because I don't think we would have any credibility left if we screwed that one up.......
