'All my guys were qualified'

via Sun Times,

Political operative Dominic Longo, of the controversial Coalition for Better Government group, made no apologies for going to bat for his people. "All my guys were qualified," Longo said.
Amazing Daley's administration could keep a list like this secret for so long in the first place. Or why no one assumed it existed in the first place and sent an FOI request for it.... if there is such a thing as an FOI request for City Government. Or maybe just why a reporter never asked about it for all these years.

Longo is as close to Jesus as you get in IL politics. He is probably a better human being than Jesus when all is said and done.

Longo helped a lot of neighborhood guys in the northwest side and I think the Mayor's downfall was turning his back on groups like Longo's who were loyal to him from the start. When Mayor Daley shut out Longo and the Aldermen/Committeemen on the northwest side in favor of Victor Reyes/HDO.Tomzak etc, Daley got to greedy. But I will tell you this, when the G starts looking at the CONTRACTS people are going to have a really bad day in the 19th, 11th wards. The corrupt contracts are easily in the hundreds of millions of dollars, in in the political lifetime of mayor Daley it may top a billion, Tadin alone has gotten over 100 million in contracts.
I dont feel sorry for Daley and company, they did this to themselves. Have a nice day.

Didn't Clout -netter Patrick Fitzgerald have a Largemouth Rove hooked and boated? But, dang if that old fish didn't get back in the pond.

When will our society have a 'cloutless' world? Oh, when???????

I can't wait for a day when I can go to Stewie the Bust-out, after he's topping off on a Mickey's Big Mouth 40 oz.er and rubbing the blood off the bridge of his nose with his MegaDeath T-shirt, in front of Fat Tommie's Hot Dogs, for an audience to get my son a City Job. Then, and only then, will we be a truly free and open society. When a man as Clout-Free as Stewie can get the ear of those who shadow the Halls of Power, we will have the world dreamed of by Progressive Americans. Oh Happy Day!

Hickey,
Someone pretty high up in the Sheriffs office is giving everything to the Feds. The beginning of the end of a racist arrogant clique.

All you stand up 19th ward guys like Sommerville and Sheehans are all ratting and ratting. Sommerville implicated Kevin and Jerry "the big potato" Joyce--look into his O'Hare contracts.
Huels son in law is ratting too, and they talked about whacking people.

I think that lifelond Catholic is right. The Vatican is moving forward with canonization proceedings on Longo. He is a living saint like other Italian Padre Pio. Longo does not have to ghost payroll because he can bilocate, being at the tan salon, the canoli store, and his job all at the same time. St. Dominic Longo also has the odor of sanctity but it is like Armani cologne. He can create miracles like getting on the Sanitary District payroll and embarassing the Governor from nothing.

Chicogo politics is odd... just odd...

Why can't we just create a website: these are civil service jobs, these are political jobs.

Apply yourself and here is a box for reference/sponser.

'nuff said. Everyone avoids indictments.

'The beginning of the end of a racist arrogant clique.' Shamus


Have a strong opinion on this, Shamuseen?? Can't wait for the wake?

Don't pay for the wreathe yet - naw go ahead, pay for a great big one. There'll be no one ahead of you to sign the old Guest Book at Donnellan's & Sons Funeral Home.

Hey Pat Hickey, you can not defend the action of the 19th ward, JJ has made tens of millions off of contracts just for himself, not to mention the cencessions at Navy Pier and other places. You may be blessed to be a part of this "Irish Mob" but you know what they say about payback, these people have hurt people, fired people, set up people all the while stealing money hand and foot because they had friends in high office, (States Attorney, Sheriff,Corp Council etc) Pat, why don't you join the team to clean up politics, why don't you run for Alderman and make a difference. Don't be a tool for the 19th ward
When the government come out with EAR and the crooked stuff they did more people are going to jail. Thank you Jesus and thank you Patrick & Peter

Sheldon,

What's to defend? A handful of sourgrapes tossed by the same crowd?

I like the 19th Ward crowd, personally and otherwise; I do not like any of the Progressives.

All politics is personal and I personally have witnessed good acts - mitzvahs, if you will , by this talented group of people. The folks who oppose them are people that are quite frankly - not my cup of tea: opportunists, backstabbers, snobs, dim-bulbs, selfish sallys, and self-righteous propaganda spouters.

The 19th Ward folks can string sentences, remember kindnesses, park legally, parse verbs, dress appropriately, dress snappily, smile beatifically, and win regularly.

Pat are you for real ? The 19th ward has been f...ing all the other good ward organizations for years, Do you agree with how Mike Sheahan pulled a fast one so his boy Tom Dart (a very nice guy) was put in to take over at the jails ? Also Sheehans kid cut a deal to rat out on others. I bet you wear one of those rings with the heart and hands.

'I bet you wear one of those rings with the heart and hands.'

Nah, jewelry is for skirts.

Was the alleged copulation between the 19th and the good Wards consensual, a Sabine-like assault?
