Dart Not Running For Mayor

Somebody made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

(Horse head in his bead ? )

[LRS]

Shower stall decision?

[Defiant]

Sounds like someone was channeling William T. Sherman.

[miss marmelstein]

Even the DUmmies are snarking about this.

[Doogle]

.....the Chicago way...........with millions of stimulus money I bet, if you can’t beat em, buy em.

[firebasecody]

Well, I guess that is one way to ‘win’ a race. “Selected, not elected”

[Noob1999]

Time to seroiusly investigate this probable big time crook!

Naaaa, more likely he was given the choice of taking a newspaper wrapped around bundles of case or one wrapped around a dead fish... Whats it gonna be???

[dandiegirl]

Sounds like when BO’s opponent suddenly dropped out. Chicago is just dirty.

[Gay State Conservative]

Paging Vito Corleone....

[diverteach]

Gee, sounds suspiciously just like oblunder walked into his state senate seat.

I think these guy are better at finding dirt than the clintoons.

[Dogbert41]

Chicago deserves it.

[Teflonic]

Obama desperately needs Rahm in that office to keep all his dirty laundry locked up.

[RatRipper]

Better to drop out than drop dead.

[presently no screen name]

Bingo!

Setting:
12:30 A.M. Deserted area on Lake Shore Drive.
Two cars pull up from different directions.
Sheriff gets out of his car, Rahm and entourage exit limo.
Sheriff: Hey Rahm what’s up.
Rahm: I want this job.
Sheriff: I do too!
Rahm: You don’t understand, either you lean forward
for me or you wife AND your daughter does!
Sheriff: Okay, I get ya, I really didn’t want the job
anyway. See ya later.

Predictable. The strategy to win an urban office by splitting the black vote requires a unified white vote.

So, Dart had to go.

[mass55th]

And so the thuggery begins.
