“Richie” is a semi-literate, dysfunctional cretin.
Mayor Richard M. Daley is a very smart, knowledgable and capable municipal chief executive. Like his father, he is not particularly eloquent. But he knows his business. I disagree with many of his policies, but Chicago is a very well-run city. You also have to consider the alternatives. The Mayor’s opponents in his various elections would have been less capable alternatives, had they gained the Fifth Floor. I think Daley will keep winning as long as he wants to run.
