Roger Simon may have the writing skills of a chimpanzee, but he has the guts of a child molester.
He gets the Chicago Press Club's Jake Lingle Awardfor this hack piece, though at least Lingle worked for the Chi Trib.
Roger Simon is the Chief Political Columnist of Politico. He grew up on the South Side of Chicago where politics was a contact sport.
At the Chicago Sun-Times, where he wrote a column four times per week, Simon was taught that the only way for a journalist to look upon a politician was down. He now fights against that impulse daily.
