In the wake of the vote by the Cook County Board to partially roll back his sales tax hike, Board President, Todd Stroger, made the rounds of the airwaves this morning. And while casually chatting with Don Wade and Roma on WLS-AM, he made the amazing revelations that:
1. He did not watch or listen to Obama's major speech on Afghanistan last night, because "he doesn't ever have time to watch TV."
2. He never reads Chicago newspapers because, "they are all biased against me, and besides, they have gone up in price by 50 cents."
3. He never uses the internet as a source of news and information because,"I have people to do that for me."
4. He gets all of his news from a "clipping service."
YIKES!
He also said that he didn't know what Obama's speech was about, and when told that it was about the future conduct of the war in Afghanistan, he said that he was too busy with managing Cook County to worry about Afghanistan.
Now this is the chief executive of the second largest county government in the country -- an entity with a $3 billion annual budget, larger than all but 6 states --and he doesn't even read a newspaper or monitor electronic sources of news!
He did admit that he would occasionally watch television, but it was usually only to catch reruns of "The Nanny" around midnight.
Anyone else think that maybe the Toddling could himself benefit from the care and guidance of a stern nanny?
And just who were the people who actually voted for this clown over Tony Peraica in the election of 2006?
Oh well, ignorance is bliss.
