You're going down in flames, you tax fattened hyena!

2 years after hundreds of FBI agents swooped into Cleveland and County government offices, the bigger fish have finally been arrested.

So goes into the dustbin of history (I hope) one of the last old fashioned city Machines in the country. Chicago is different - it morphed into an unholy alliance with the intellesia left like Ayers, while Cleveland just kept chugging along like the somewhat backwater it is.

Based on what Dimora is saying, he's gonna try to pull a Traficant and play a 'I'm corrupt but a friend of the working man' bs routine.

Really? What role did Ayers play in Chicago politics?

Oh, right! He lives there. Just like Obama did.

Of course Obama was involved in Chicago politics. You were talking about Ayers, not Obama?

Hey! I like Jimbo!
Yeah, sure, he's crooked as a dogs hind leg, but he tells it like it is.
And the guy is funny.

That Dimora guy is one fat slob. Did you see how that minivan sagged when they stuffed his fat ass in?
Geez.

Actually pointing out Chicago for contrast. The unions here tossed out the intellectual elite a long time ago

Pete

PS how's Obies buddy Blagovich doing?

Really what you were doing was waving that "bogeyman" Ayers in the air like a bloody shirt. Ayers and Chicago weren't even relevant to your post.
