Won't that be sort of like having Capone as mayor, as well as head bootlegger?

Not at all. Big Al Capone's organization ran at a profit, even during the depression. Everybody got the goods and services that they wanted. He was certainly no fan of the IRS. Free market capitalism was encouraged. He made St. Valentines day something to remember way before Hallmark or DeBeers go into the game. And the only people that got hurt were the insiders.

Here in Chicago we have been so beaten down that we no longer even dream about honest government. We would just like to have some more competent crooks for a change.

LOL! Good one.
