CHICAGO -- Chicago's media gossip columnists are abuzz with news about Illinois' new political sensation, U.S. Senator-elect Barack Obama. Friday night, Obama will be featured on "Late Show" with David Letterman.

CBS released a portion of tonight's transcript, and the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan teased readers this morning by publishing part of the interview which will air Friday night at 10:30 PM CST:

The former state senator told Letterman that not only did he receive a congratulatory phone call from the President, he recently had breakfast with Bush, Vice-President Cheney and Bush political adviser Karl Rove.

Obama, who will be sworn in next month to replace outgoing Senator Peter Fitzgerald, has signed on high-powered agent Bob Barnett who is brokering a new book deal for Obama and keeping his client in the national spotlight.
