  Uh, to be an FBI informant, don’t you have to frequently associate CLOSELY with criminals, as in PARTICIPATE in crimes, or in the planning of crimes? And WHO did he snitch upon?

  This information should do wonders for JJ.jr’s political career.

  Since Chicago politics is still so full of corruption, he must be a REALLY lousy informant, or he is overly selective about who he rats out. After this many years, you would think there would be more results.

  What a feeble, stupid argument, snuss. I mean really stupid.

  Care to expand on your blather, Pat?
  The Chicago political machine is rife with corruption, but Jesse Jr. can’t seem to find much of anything to report to the Feds. He must have the same tunnel vision problem with crime as Obama had about Rev. Wright, and only sees what he wants to see.

  A funny e-mail that I received:

  Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Capitol Bldg. in Illinois. One from New Jersey , another from Tennessee and the third, from Florida .

  They go with a Capitol Blg. Official to examine the fence.

  The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

  The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

  The New Jersey contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the Illinois official and whispers, “$2,700.” The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”

  The New Jersey contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.” “Done!”, replies the government official.

  And that, my friends, is how it all works!

  Signed,
  Governor of Illinois.
