A year ago, Trippi was being fitted for a White House desk.

Now, he’s consulting for an obscure, if dashing, candidate for a virtually meaningless job.

We suspect that the press release announcing Trippi’s deal with Brian Ellner, a Manhattan Borough President candidate, is itself the extent of Trippi’s work on this campaign, and that Trippi’s basically being paid for his endorsement. Is this the revolution he was talking about?
