Our Newest Op Ed
$10,000 Bounty For A Mayor's Head?
- By Warner Todd Huston
Chicago's Mayor Daley is incensed. Of course, it is an act he has played so many times that its just business as usual and it doesn't even seem to raise an eyebrow anymore, sadly. You see, every time Mayor Richard M. Daley or one of his close "associates" gets caught with a hand in the cookie jar, the Mayor trundles himself out and plays at mock outrage for the Chicago press. And they eat it up.
And it's been a scandal-ridden year for Mayor Daley so far with revelations of multiple scams, thefts, huge amounts of misspent funds discovered and public hiring scandals perpetrated by members of his administration or those among his cadre of well heeled "associates".
This time he has added a new shade. He is making like he is scared, too. "Da" Mayor is acting as if he and his family have been threatened. You should have seen him with his grave face, standing before the TV cameras playing this one for all it was worth. And, curiously enough, this came just in time to draw attention from his many ongoing scandals........
