A Trip to the Men’s Room
Every day on McHenry County Blog, I have a message of the day.
Usually, they are about bumper stickers, signs, tee shirts, etc. Messages are everywhere.
Today it is about a trip to the men's room in Chicago's federal court room.
The most stunning thing I read yesterday about former Governor George Ryan’s sentence was buried in the middle of John Kass’ Chicago Tribune column (Steve Rhodes has the link below):
…Judge Pallmeyer must believe I the potential goodness of all people.
But she didn’t hear Ryan laughing in the washroom after she imposed her light sentence, Ryan joking with his buddy Big Jim.
“Wonder what [defense lawyer Dan] Webb is going to say to the media,” Ryan said, chuckling, spry enough in his allegedly weakened and infirm state that he bent quickly, like a portly gymnast in hard shoes, to see if anyone was hiding in a stall.
A young reporter, who was dressed in a nice suit—and do didn’t look like a young reporter but more like an attorney—wanted to use the facilities.
“Got a ticket?” wisecracked Ryan, smiling, hearty, apparently crushed by the tough sentence he might not ever serve…

Cal,
For so long, Cal, you made powerful points for a very long time concerning your disgust with corruption and political hypocrisy. You did so, as did for so long in public service, by stating facts as they supported your theme.
You always do so as a man with a titanium backbone. Disagree and be damned! There is not scintilla of guile in your being.
Please, step away from any association with Sh$%-House John Kass.
You get your facts the old fashioned way and like a Man - and far away from an OutHouse.
I was still stunned by what this young reporter heard.
And the young reporter's name? Or is he a plant? Or is he fictional character? Or is he a 'Construct?'
Did the young reporter report on what HE in fact heard and to what News agency?
Cal, it was faceless and gutless charcter assasination. Or as a referee might flag in the sissy game of footbal -piling on -unnecesary roughness?
I know bar flies with greater integrity than OutHouse John.
I'm assuming the reporter worked for the Tribune, but I know no more than what was in the column.
Nothing like hear-say from an unimpeachable - or possibly a noncoporeal source. Kass is a Carp.
Kass doesn't say so, and I wish he would have, but I think it's safe to say the young reporter is his legman, the same one the mayor pointed out recently for his baldness, unless there has been a recent change in this position. I haven't read yet of George Ryan denying the comments and asking for a retraction.
Thanks Steve, that is what I might assume as well, given no other report by any journalist came from the Fed bathroom. If so, that would only confirm the low regard I hold for Kass and his handlers.
"My guy says it happened." God help us.
Great deal of exploitation of bathrooms by the Feds (Udesten wearing a wire to get Ryan ( and failed) to incriminate himself) and the now Medill Swill Slingers.
Some real paragons of civic virtue over there at the building with rocks looted from around the Globe!
I don't see what Ryan said that was so bad.
But I don't get how he can be blamed for those kid’s deaths.
Maybe the President that let an illegal alien in the Country should go to jail over this?
I believe Udstuen was in the bathroom with Ron Swanson.
He was and He was also sent in to try and trap George Ryan, in gents as well.
