This is Mike Allen, chief political correspondent for The

Politico. Glenn Greenwald describes him as "the single

most obedient, right-wing-power-worshipping reporter

in Washington, a distinction for which there is a

crowded and heated competition." Sounds harsh until

you take a look at the guy and imagine him sitting

in Karl Rove's lap, gnawing on a rawhide chew toy.

"Edwards to Suspend Campaign," read the headline at

The Politico. Here you see the author (aka Humpty Dumpty) of

Mike Allen, chief political correspondent for

The Politico, credits Matt Drudge for encouraging

him to buy the tie and Fox News for inspiring him

to wear it.
