Whatta guy!

And just to shine a little light on his last re-election -- he won with 80% of a turnout of 33%.

27% of the eligible voters returned this guy to office. A damned shame.

Hmm.. 25+ years ago, Mayor Daley SR, when caught passing all city insurance contracts to his sons, was asked by the press about it. In Hizzoners own inimmical style, he responded "A father has gotta look after his sons".

So what has changed except for the passing of Daley Sr, and of course Len O'Conner, the mayors nemesis from the Sun Times.

And how many voted from the graveyard? Daley has to be deeply involved in all of the corruption but no doubt has covered his tracks well.

I love the tone of this thread! It looks like nobody here has anything good to say about Dick the Dictator.
Add me to that list!
