This is the photo the Chicago Libune chose to run on the front page of the paper this morning. Of all the thousands of photos, the Libune chooses this piece of backslapping to Clinton. A better photo would have been the actual mug shot that the AP has on file. I looked for the photo of Clinton and Parks and I found quite a pool to from which to make my choice. I do not believe this photo was printed innocently. I wonder how many more papers ran this photo.

I've been here since Sunday. Chicago is like a second home. We have some folks here from Houston who wore their Astros jerseys the other night. I told them they were extremely brave. LOL.

Chicago is like a second home.

Glad to hear it . . . the thought that someone might be spending an evening such as this sitting in a hotel bar is almost too much to bear. Tell your friends from Houston that we love you all, as long as you don't support our criminal element by hanging your purse on the back of your chair.

We should erect a monument in Washington to Rosa Parks, arm-in-arm with Linda Tripp.

LOL! We had dinner at Bistro 110 last night- excellent place!

What a lovely woman of dignity.

Thanks to her and may she rest in peace.

Excellent. You have the situation well in control, and there is no need for me to send out a search party. If you need a restaurant recommendation, let me know.

The mug shot was the symbol of her oppression. She was arrested for being black. A picture of her being booked speaks volumes about the black struggle, a picture of her with Clinton is sophistry. I shouldn't have to explain that to you.

You honestly think I had anything bad to say about Parks? If you do, you're an imbecile. I was wondering why the Chicago Tribune ran a picture of her with Clinton. It has nothing to do with her and everything to do with Clinton and his sycophants in the press. BTW, there were no pictures of Bush with Rosa Parks from my searches. Parks was about rising up from oppression and instead of getting a picture of her marching or being arrested for breathing, we get Clinton glad handing. It just makes me sick that her legacy gets tied to that shithead. The left wing rag(Tribune) does her legacy a disservice.
