Connie Schultz posts "gotcha" exchange from blogger looking for "an expose on journalists in the elite media who socialize with elected officials they are assigned to cover."
At a Beachwood event Monday honoring a local World War II veteran with a Purple Heart, Sen. Sherrod Brown joked about the popularity of his wife, former Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz.

Our merger with AOL, Patch's parent company, in February, allowed us to broadcast those conversations to a much wider audience. By combining The Huffington Post's attitude, journalistic acumen, and sheer energy with AOL's resources and technical expertise, we were able, as we say, to …
