It’s still up there now. Not like anybody at the Trib has any special reason to be kind to the governor.

Well…DUH!  
Of course they don’t, Ed.  
My opinion RE: the pic & comment disappearing at some point is that even if it’s not an intentional prank, it’s obviously misposted as part of that gallery.  
So…just as if it was"accidentally" posted as part of a photo gallery on the Chicago Reader  
website that had nothing to do w/the current Governor of Illinois ; some responsible grownup will remove it and hilarity will stop ensuing.  
Personally, I hope it’s just one of many blogoslams stashed throughout the Tribune site as part of a festive holiday game & I’ve won a nifty prize for being the 1st to find one…but that’s probably doomed to be part of the ungranted portion of my Xmas wishlist.
