Excellent, maggie! The world gets to see what a nest of vipers Chicago/IL politicians are!

“Vernon Jarrett is a member of the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board”
Vernon Jarrett is also Valerie Jarrett’s father.
Mark Kirks’s was on FNC totally blasting Giannoulias
with a very raw, accusatory new commercial about him
.. his mob ties, lies, banking theft, etc. ... it’s gonna
be a long, filthy election season until November, and
you have to know any dirt on Kirk will be shown ad
nauseum .. ripe and smelly .. by -0’s buddy, Giannoulias.
The ad is from the National Republican Senatorial
Committee .. the ad:

His speech last night was so slick and polished,
could’ve been -0 or any veteran DC pol talking.
This is now a national election .. and I’ll bet
-0 will get involved in stumping at some point
for him.

llinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias showed up for the rally with word of a letter he’s sent. He hopes it will keep the doors open. In it, he gives the Wells Fargo CEO an ultimatum.
“They have a choice,” he said. “They can either do the right thing and keep these jobs and make sure this business continues, or they can quit doing business with the state of Illinois.”
The likely Senate hopeful then went into the plant to check out and to try on the 40 Long dark gray suit Hartmarx styled for his hoops buddy, President Barack Obama.
There’s no word from Wells Fargo on whether it will give in. The banking giant has not returned our call.
But the bank seems to have, on paper, good reasons for not funneling more money into the business. When Hartmarx filed for bankruptcy in January, it acknowledged carrying assets of $100 million dollars, but half a billion dollars worth of debt.

Alexi Giannoulias Post Election Interview

Oh yes .. he’s VERY slick. He even has the chin up-
nose in the air move down.
Las year on the Chicago Crime Thread It seemed apparent that there are three groups that run the city: The mob, Progressives/communists, African American. SOmetime they align with another group to take control over the third.
Alex, with his ties to banking, bookies seems to lean toward Mob/Daley/Blanko. But now that Preckwinkle (progressive/ AA has taken over city counsel, BlankO is going to trial, I wonder if Daley’s days are numbered.....
IIRC the last time Alex ran for office over 80% of the campaign money came from family or others linked to the bank. Now that the bank is in trouble, who is going to pay the bill?
