Petrie Jr. Wins Boring Landslide Victory At WGA
We're not going to bore you with "analysis" of the results of the just-concluded WGA elections, where president Dan Petrie Jr. trounced challenger Eric Hughes by a 71% to 26% margin (if you're keeping score), or what this means for the WGA's sitting-on-its-hands-until-the-DGA-wins-the-battle-for-us "negotiations" with the networks and studios. We even asked a Guild member who was handy what he thought of the results, and he said, "I have no fucking idea what it all means. I didn't vote." His chilling ambivalence says it better than we ever could, because we'll probably never be eligible for the WGA's legendary, kick-ass health plan. We'll congratulate Mr. Petrie Jr. and continue with our day.
Vote counts/results from the election follow after the jump, if you're into that sort of thing.
