It didn't take long from the time Daley said he should apologize until he went out and did so. The crying was probably over how close he came to being cut off from the Daley Crime Machine's money supply.
Could you see the puppet strings?
True enough. When I heard the audio of his remarks I thought to myself " my God he is crying..they gotta get rid of this head-case"
/tin foil hat and humor and sarcasm
not ot mention the votes the crime machine can deliver....or not.
Talk about an offer you can't refuse.
...and the world's largest vote factory.
Earlier in the day, however, Daley came down hard on his friend.
"I think it is a disgrace," the mayor declared when asked about Durbin's comments last week. "He is a good friend of mine, but I think it is a disgrace to say that any man or woman in the military acts like that."
Daley's son, Patrick, recently enlisted in the U.S. Army and now is in training.
"I believe our men and women in the military have a lot of common sense and passion and heart," the mayor said.
`So disrespectful'
"Read the history of the Holocaust," Daley said. "Nothing can compare with the Holocaust. . . . It is so disrespectful for all the victims of the Holocaust. You are talking about 6 million people intentionally killed. . . .
"How many did [Stalin] kill?" Daley asked rhetorically. "Twenty-two million. Then you take what took place in Cambodia, and we are trying to [compare] incidents in Guantanamo Bay, where nobody has been killed, no one has been seriously injured, to that?"
