Hey, I’m as big a fan of Chuck Todd as anyone*, and the Viva Chuck Todd blog from Cerebral Itch is inspired:
Especially the e-mail interviews with his grandmother in Florida. But now this is really getting out of hand:
(Click the image to visit the site.) I’m not even sure what “Chuckolyte” is supposed to mean. Is it a play on “electrolyte”? Is it supposed to sound like “chocolate”?

Hey Bill,
Thanks for mentioning us as well as our parent company, Cerebral Itch. In answer to your questions what is a “Chuckolyte”, here you go:
Inspired by the word “acolyte” which is defined as a devoted follower or attendant, the Chuckolyte is not merely a Chuck Todd fan per se, but an individual who strives to possess a fraction of Chuck Todd’s acumen for all things political while simultaneously pursuing the essence of his convivial nature and humility rarely achieved by a television personality.
There’s a Chuckolyte membership card waiting with your name on it. We’d be proud to have you on the roster and also as a contributor.
