Da’ Mayor Says He’s “Sorry” … Boy, He Sure Is
The week after Commissioner John Daley tried to attack Commissioner Peraica for fighting for lower taxes and a streamlined budget in Cook County … his brother, Mayor Richard Daley, turned an otherwise boring press conference (below) on home foreclosures into an absolutely surreal event (even by Chicago standards).
He read a prepared statement expressing that he was “sorry” about the hiring fraud scandal in city government - and then preceded to angrily reject the media’s pleas to ask questions about the statement and/or scandal.
A “sincere” apology and the city is magically reformed, right?
It kind of reminds us of the scene in “The Naked Gun” when Lt. Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) assures the gathering crowds that there is “Nothing to see here!” as the fireworks factory continues to explode behind him.
It strikes us as funny that, while everyone accuses Blagojevich of being detached from reality - this mayor has somehow avoided this same accusation.
