I'm picturing an Alderman Crawford standing before a bathroom sink trying to wash her hands of the politics of the past connections she denies.<br /><br />Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then<br />'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky.—<br /><br />Now personally I like a bit of Hamlet for describing Team Amy..<br /><br />“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” <br /><br />Or perhaps my favorite Shakespeare quote of all.<br /><br />“One may smile, and smile, and be a villain. ” <br /><br />Then the quote that might best describe my ongoing IrishPirate schtick.<br /><br /><br />“Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.” <br /><br />Oh yeah.

It's not there, but they find it. Her leadership is pragmatic and she's a proven leader. She's a progressive pragmatist who likes running and complexing problems. She's well rounded and inspiring and in no way divisive or perplexing. <br /><br />Her campaign is a case study in confusion. What's real and what's illusion? Who's being fooled? The politician, the voters or both? She's for an against casinos and low income housing. She wants to discuss cutting public pensions, yet public pensions are sacrosanct. Crime is up and crime is down. <br /><br />At the Wilson stop pro Amy flyers are being handed out by what's likely the remnants of the Shillerista/Couraj/ONE cop hating more low income housing coalition. I'm going to get off at Sheridan or Addison and I suspect I may be handed different flyers by a very different group of her supporters.<br /><br />THAT'S OUR AMY.<br /><br />By the way check out the <a href="http://amycrawford.com/" rel="nofollow">evil nasty parody </a>website that Amyistas are complaining about. I'm not behind it. I'm not involved with it. I will plug it though. Why? Because I'm an evil divider who has evilly divided the ward into divisions. Plus it's kinda funny at points. They haven't updated it in a few days. I'm jonesing for some more nasty satire.<br /><br />IrishPiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339255909419333238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-32294631017782388032015-03-23T17:31:39.116-05:002015-03-23T17:31:39.116-05:00I was expecting a blast at Crawford.

Realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly. Kaplan, Ali, Jesus People, ONE aren't somehow connected to political figures of the past? She didn't deny connections to Brendan Shiller or his lobbying firm just that her campaign didn't have any contracts with said firm. Look at her state disclosure forms she said. Wonderful next expenses forms don't have to be filed till April 15th. I wonder what they may yield. A week after the election too. Isn't that CONVENIENT.<br /><br />I see many people here and in other places are suggesting Cappleman is somehow a closeted Republican. REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY. Sure many of his donors gave money to Republicans. Interesting thing is many of Lady MacBeth's donors gave $$$$ to Rauner; Here is a short summary and I'm only scratching the surface. This is just from her Kirtland donors and if I continued with her other donors I'd find a whole lot more Rauner donations too. There are lots of Romney donations from her donors also. You remember Mitt? Mister 47%. Self made guy whose dad was a rich auto exec, governor and Presidential candidate.<br /><br />McCormick, Steven<br />130 E.

(Bear don't get your hopes up. I'm straight.)<br /><br />To the contender Amy who is the equivalent of the ancient Greek concept of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moirai" rel="nofollow">Moirai</a> and seeks to be the white robed incarnation of Uptown's destiny I would like to <a href="https://twitter.com/AlderTwit/status/579850846420250624" rel="nofollow">suggest a logo</a> for Team Amy. <br /><br />Friar versus Moirai!
