| Richie Daley Gets To Pocket $1.1 M In Campaign Cash |
| 2011-05-14 |
 HT to DrudgeUnlike his brothers, lawyer Michael and banker Bill, Mayor Richard M. Daley didn’t use the family name to amass wealth. He used it to amass power. But now, the mayor has a chance to convert his power into wealth. Which is what being a Chicago politician is all about, after all Obama co-authored the state law that allows this. Hope and Change™? |

| #3 Dare I be so cynical to say that Obama's involvement with the origination of the law was one of his better uses of foresight? Prolly just a coincidence. |

| #2 So, in other words, contributing to someone's "campaign fund" is just a delayed bribe. |

| #1 Congresscritters get to do the same. Instead of running for reelection, they can 'retire' and convert their fund to personal use. Which, by the way, more than a handful did this last time around. Why waste hundreds of thousands, if not a couple million, in an iffy situation when you can pocket the stuff to lavish upon yourself? |
