Hours after Justice O'Connor announced her retirement, The San Francisco Chronicle ran a story featuring quotes from two prominent U.S. Senators, a well-known legal scholar, and a guy named Gary Marx.

But how is it that a guy like Gary Marx ends up being quoted in a San Francisco Chronicle article?

Well, as much as Democrats (me included) would like to imagine a nefarious plot to deceive the public and pass off a fundraiser as an expert, the facts are much less sinister. It seems that the reason Gary Marx made it into the San Francisco Chronicle is because the GOP worked hard to get him there.
