I applaud him for those comments and I can't see how any rational person would disagree. Illinois, "the land of Lincoln" has become a national laugh stocking and I'm ashamed to live in what was once a great Republican state. Now it's overrun with RINOs and Democrats who are working together for "bipartisan" corruption and have made this state into the most corrupt state in the union (Thanks to Louisiana losing that honor after Katrina). 5 out of last 8 governors have been indicted. Lincoln would indeed roll over his grave if he saw what his beloved prairie state looked like today.
And you're offended that a prosecutor would "obsessively" pursue these scumbags and drag these RATs out of the shadows and expose them for the slime they are?
Maybe you'd prefer a "kindler, gentler" prosecutor who talks nice on TV. "King Richard" would as well, that's why he shares the useful idiot wing of FR's hatred of Fitzgerald. He's really tired of all his department heads having the word "acting" in their title because the ones he picked for the office are all in jail.
So you don't think jailing the second highest ranking elected Democrat in Chicago (city clerk James Laski), the biggest Dem fundraiser in the state (Tony Rezko), and half a dozen alderman who are "top allies" of Daley on the city council is "pursuing substantial corruption of folks closely affiliated with Daley"... but at the same time you want Fitz to stop bashing criminals on TV and be nice and cuddly? Talk about a contradiction.

You tell me ... is that as high, wide and deep as
the decades-long corruption goes and has gone ? Do
you think he’s truly after all the crooks and corrupt
city officials and the huge network in that Machine?
And no .. I don’t expect him to be nice and cuddly.
He was completely unethical in the Blago presser;
any state attorney/legal professional will plainly
tell you that. He betrayed the standing of his
office .. it was evidence of temperament, self-
control and judgment issues.
My opinion doesn’t matter a hill of beans, but I
see him as unpredictable and quirky and at times
prone to being carried away by plots and fantasies
only in his head, which aren’t good traits for
top law enforcement officials.
I get the sense he’s being very choosy about
his targets in Chicago, etc..
And the Peter Lance issue. Stunning ..
Needless to say, he doesn’t have my implicit trust.
