There is no possible way you can’t know this by now: Vince Fumo has suffered a heart attack. The good (very good) news: He’s critical, but stable, and he’s totally gonna make it. The bad news: This seems to be like the fifth Comeuppance Letter the man has gotten in the last year alone, and the timing could not possibly be worse. Election’s just around the corner, there’s that sticky corruption trial coming up in the fall, and this whole heart attack thing renders whatever Smith & Wollensky gift certificates he may have had lying around utterly useless. We kid, Vince, and we actually hope you get well soon; you are far too important to the news cycle around here to lose. If it’s any consolation, we’ve heard tell of some other visits The Man Upstairs made to locals this weekend:
· Accused political forgers running wild were told, come on now, this is not Florida;
· Kenny Gamble was sternly told, c’mon, dude, you are really playing with fire;
· And finally, Joey Sweeney was awoken in the middle of the night on Saturday by the ghost of A.D. Amorosi past, whereupon he was told that the “Annotated A.D. Amorosi” shit was just not cool, maaaan, and to cut it out.
See? You are not alone.
