Chaffetz well oiled
Finally a medium that makes Jason look statesmanlike.

I recently wrote an item on freshman Congressman Jason Chaffetz's media overexposure. My point was that he has been turning up in every medium from Twitter to Comedy Central to old-school charcoal sketches. (Even my blog is lousy with Chaffetz, truth be told.)

Artist Darren Gygi called me to clear something up. Chaffetz did not pay him big bucks to do a portrait, as some readers thought. Gygi, in fact, approached Chaffetz and did the portrait for free to use in his portfolio as a sample of his work.

Greasy, sleazy and he makes me queezy.

Not too keen on the subject but the portrait looks great. Nice job.

Don't be too modest. Your blog is lousy in all kinds of ways.
