Kass is a national treasure: I’ve learned so much about the Chicago Way from him (and our president’s years of marination in this filth). So I’m astonished that Daley’s support of Obama didn’t get included in his Top 20 Stupidest Remarks list.Did you happen to read Kass' article he posted right after the inauguration of Obama? Kass was in attendance, and the piece he wrote was among the most sugary slop out there. I was stunned! Later on down the road, Kass apologized for it, but I've been unable to find the original article.
“the piece he wrote was among the most sugary slop out there.”
I forget when Kass first emerged on my radar: I’m pretty sure it was before election day and it was chock full of eye-opening stuff about how Chicago politics really worked, Obama’s role in stacking the health facilities board, his relationship with Rezko etc. So if he later wrote a puff piece, I sure missed it, and it sounds wholely out of character. Are you sure it really was by him? Seems odd you can’t now locate it etc.
