Emil Jones is probably the most famous former sewer worker since the late Art Carney portrayed Ed Norton on “The Honeymooners” television program. According to his peers, Jones is, arguably, half as smart as Ralph Kramden‘s boon companion. Jones reciprocated Watson‘s worshipful toadying. While in public office, Jones served as a reliable conduit for the funding of public colleges and universities serving predominantly black student populations, such as Chicago State University and the City Colleges. Not surprisingly, in recent years, both institutions have been loudly criticized for operating as patronage hiring halls that specialize in wasting tax dollars. During his lengthy public career, Jones also served as the political godfather to Barack Obama, a carpetbagger who moved to Chicago and was elected to the Illinois Senate.

At Chicago State, only four percent of its students graduate within four years of their matriculation. Even after six years, the overall graduation rate is an abysmal sixteen percent.

Every *alleged* criminal he names is black!

This Daniel J. Kelley person is obviously a bigot and this hit piece of his is just another attempt by 'The Man' to hold back people down!

***What color is Daley?***

Daley isn't mentioned in the article as doing anything wrong. So your question is irrelevant, newbie.
