From Tom Infield and Nancy Petersen of our own Inky: Alan P. Novak, the chairman of our own Pennsylvania Republican Party

has so many pairs of pointy-toed, big-heeled boots that he says he "stopped counting at 40."

Maybe if Novak spent less time sucking up to the Texans—he actually bought a ranch—and more time helping to solve Pennsylvania's problems (let's start with unemployment and health care), Pennsylvania would be a Red State. Fat chance. Tom and Nancy burble on:

No one, [Novak] understands, is going to issue orders to the likes of U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum or state House Speaker John Perzel. These and a handful of other powerful, independent figures are "the stars" of state Republican politics, he said.

But stars need someone to organize them into a galaxy. Novak is that man.

Barf. And if Tom and Nancy spent less time sucking up to Novak, there'd be more news in the Inky.
