The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Patti Blagojevich, wife of former future Vice Presidential candidate Rod Blagojevich, has sent notes of apology to her neighbors: (abridged)

My husband and I would like to apologize to you and your family for the media barrage that descended on our neighborhood. While we signed up for this kind of attention by choosing a life in public service, you didn't. All you did was choose to live in our wonderful neighborhood.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. We hope it will soon subside, not only for the sake of our children but also for you and your family.

The Political Machine has obtained an early draft of the note, which contained this later-excised postscript:

P.S. Despite what may or may not have been said at our last dinner party, it is very unlikely that Rod could have you all fired from your individual jobs, nor is it likely that he would do so, were he able. Merry Christmas.

I also love how the note blames the media frenzy on their "life in public service," as if the state comptroller is being chased by paparazzi.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
