PW Reporter draws wrath of "Large Marge" City Comissioner Marge Tartaglione

PW Reporter draws wrath of "Large Marge" City Comissioner Marge Tartaglione
Ok, apparently I mixed up Philadelphia City Commissioner Marge Tartaglione and the undead truck driver featured in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. My reportorial bad.
And speaking of reportorial ... Heard in the Hall reports that prolific PW reporter Aaron Kase managed to get Commissioner Tartaglione's hackles up today. [My reportorial bad again: I misspelled Aaron's last name in the original post].
Kase, apparently, was pressing her on recent revelations that her daughter, former Deputy Commissioner Rene Tartaglione Matos, committed ethics violations in engaging in campaign work against State Rep. Angel Cruz (including ordering 2,000 promotional ballots for Cruz which directed his supporters to push the wrong ballot button).
According to Heard in the Hall, the shoe dropped when Kase asked if her office was corrupt.
Replied Tartaglione: You say that... I'll jump over this table and punch you out!"
Luckily (we reporters have to stick up for each other) Case escaped unharmed. Unluckily, the episode just missed the paper's print deadline. Look's like it's off to the blog mines with you, Aaron.
It's Kase, not Case.
