Some of the biggest egos in local politics are wasting time patting each other on the back. It’s a nauseating thing that’s not normally worth mentioning, except gun control is one of the things they congratulate each other on.
“Mayor Richard Daley and his wife, Maggie, took a bow for their stewardship of the city at an Art Institute of Chicago fundraiser held Friday night in their honor … New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called Daley “the best damn mayor this country has ever seen†during post-dinner remarks … Bloomberg pointed to Daley initiatives on handguns, education, the environment and the arts that he said he has happily copied in New York …â€
Feel free to copy the Daley policies on handguns, Mayor Bloomberg. In case your staff forgot to tell you, we defeated those policies once.
I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, people congratulating each other for infringing upon basic rights of their constituents is teeth grindingly nauseating. On the other, the more time they spent talking to each other about how successful they are and what wonderful people they are and how SAFE their cities are without those icky guns in them, the more they are revealed for the power hungry fools they are.
Nevermind he lost a SCOTUS case, the Olympics, saw decreases in the city’s education standards, quality of living, and overall condition.
It’s unfortunate the rest of the state of Illinois has to suffer due to Chicago being such a hole.
