On today's to-do list, a blog item about Citizens for Republican Responsible Government's latest in a growing string of failed attempts to recall public officials.

But, happily, Jason Haas, a blogger who's new to me, took the words right out of my mouth.

Just two weeks ago, the recall of Gov. Jim Doyle took a big belly flop, and now CRG's effort to recall State Sen. Jim Sullivan is the latest on the list of failures.

CRG has become the gang that can't shoot straight. They make a lot of noise, and huff and puff, but that's about it.

The real question is when the news media will figure it out and stop treating every recall announcement like it means something, when it is really just hot air.

Check Brewtown Gumshoe for more on CRG, which he says stands for Cronies of Rich Guys.
