Today's Page Six once again tries its veiny hand at local politics, running an awkwardly-placed item suggesting that Daily News columnist Errol Louis has a bone to pick with mayoral candidate Gifford Miller because, Page Six claims, Louis was passed over for a job on Miller's staff. The Politicker called Louis for comment:

"I won't embarass anybody by naming the outside lobbyists and senior council staffers who picked up the phone in December of 2003 and asked me, out of the blue, to consider working on the staff of the City Council. Although I entertained the idea out of respect for the people who called, I never applied for any job, and am very happy to have moved on to one of the best jobs in American journalism.

Only in the world of anonymous political hacks would anyone want to trade that in for a pay cut and a chance to flack for the guy running dead last in the polls."
