Screengrab: Chicago Tribune online ad, story eerily similar

I knew there would be a moment at which art and life danced together in the Wonderful World of Corruption we call home. So imagine my surprised when I refreshed the front page of the Chicago Tribune's Web site today and noticed that the story about Christopher Kelly's apparent suicide (via rat poison...really?) was opposite an advertisement for the upcoming CBS series The Good Wife, which shouldn't be seen as commentary on his survivors, since it premieres Sept. 22 and is about the wife of a sex-scandal-disgraced politician (those tend to be from New York) who is who joins a law firm to support her family. What a stretch, right?

Who's imitating who: Art vs. life in Chicago politics

Who's imitating who? Art vs. life, or the other way around in Chicago corruption (I mean, politics)

But its interesting. One of the show's many taglines is "Ripped from the headlines." No kidding.
