Patton Heads To C-SPAN

erinpattone5.jpgErin Patton (a hottie) is leaving the Washington Post to join C-SPAN, where she will travel with C-SPAN’s “Campaign ’08″ bus.

She told the Post: “It’ll be a great opportunity to see the heartland, track candidates on the campaign trail, AND if I am lucky, still see Dan Balz, Chris Cillizza, Dana Milbank, Ann Kornblut and the rest of the Post political team.”

In an internal email obtained by FishbowlDC, the Post’s Tina Gulland called Patton a “truly special human being.”
