And in more Chicago news, disgraced former PC Garry McCarthy is exploring running for Mayor against Rahm.
When McCarthy used to speak on local news programs, you could feel intelligence being sucked away from the entire planet. He really is that stupid!
Why was he disgraced? Because Rahm fired him? I'd wear that as a badge of honor. I'd also take him over any Superintendent that served since Phil Cline.
I based it on what I thought was the general opinion of the rank and file including accusations of spousal abuse, and if I'm wrong about that, tell me and I'll delete that part of my comment. You're the guys who dealt with him and I'll respect that.
My slam on his intelligence is based on observing him over the years in his televised interviews and speeches, and I'll stick by that.
His firing was because Rahm needed a sacrificial lamb over the Laquan MacDonald case, wasn't it? I don't hold that against him, just more dirty politics on Rahm's part.
Me, Personally? Im not a fan of McCarthy.
I believe the word is "Carpetbagger".
Yep, him and the Ex got into a few fist-a-cuffs. She split because of that, and him nailing anything with two tits, a hole and a heartbeat and a love for the liquor.
Oh, she was no Saint either, just ask the Officer at O'Hare airport

Garry always thought he was the smartest and toughest guy in the room. He got called out on it at a Christmas party a few years back, and I'll actually give him the credit he's due; he told the other bosses NOT TO fuck with the cop that called him out on his bullshit. (It was an argument over Rugby Vs Football)
There's a few other reasons for my disapproval of McCarthy too.
That's not to say he was a total asshole. And he was WAY, WAY better than the coward Judy Weis, the Supt before him. I know Garry got the job because of his ties to Bill Clinton.
Yes, he got the political axe from Rahm over the McDonald shooting. ***Allegedly*** it was for talking out of turn to the media. That was the reason given. If it was the real reason, I don't know.
Remember this: Rahm ain't stupid.
But Gary is still around. I don't know the reason, but I'm betting that it's not to further his political career. I can't figure out the angle just yet, but there is an angle. Split the vote? Scapegoat again? I don't know.
