There She Goes
- In 2007, Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown explained her landslide loss to then-Mayor Richard M. Daley by saying voters did not “understand the magnitude of the crime and corruption” that had occurred on Daley’s watch.
With Brown poised to enter her second race for mayor, black elected officials and political pundits are making similar claims about her.
They can’t understand why she’s running for mayor instead of running for cover four years into a federal grand jury investigation into alleged job- and promotion-selling in her office that has already bagged two targets.
It sure looks like she's been promised something, though what we have no idea.
Now we just need an Hispanic to complete the charade. Who is Chewy pushing? Is Gutierrez coming out of thecloset woodwork?

Rhams plant to get reelected... that sly devil is something else. If you can not see he is doing this shit-- you are one dumb piece of shit. Rham will be re-elected with like 20% of the vote. bill Clinton was elected with about 38% in 1992. Fuck you Ross Perot
Ya gotta love the machine.
She should learn a lesson from Blago. When you’re under fire, shut your damn mouth and be humble. That’s why Blago got nailed so bad. He was a big mouth and basically dared them. Dumbass. No wigs in jail!
I am shocked that she engaged in those activities.
With Jackson and Sharpton around as mentors,
she failed herself and her community. A very bad
example of the women's movement. In the end,
she let her own children down, lead them astray,
and showed them nothing more than a tarnished
role model.
In the end, everything was for sale, and there was
a price on everything. So much for the judicial
system using Blago as an example to deter future
behavior.
Dorothy wants to expand her fiefdom! The gal has flipped her wigs!
Damn. I need another scorecard.
The election of Dorothy Brown reflects how polarized Chicago and Cook County politics are, where elected offices are doled-out according to predetermined race-based assignment rather than competency, genuine competition for endorsements, and/or voters' best interest. The delayed (or absence of) indictment of Brown on corruption charges reflects how incompetent and politicized our State and Federal justice departments are here in Chicago/Cook County, where apparently it's deemed imprudent and ill-advised to actually investigate and prosecute our obviously corrupt politicians.
Do we have a single "clean" politician within Chicago? Within Cook County? Really?
Oh, I won't be surprised if Brown's mayoral campaign is primarily funded by savvy Rahm-supporters who seek to curry his favor, if not furtively by Rahm's own campaign war-chest. It's sad that Rahm thinks so poorly of the Chicago black voters to think that they can be persuaded to vote for Brown simply because she's black. It's even sadder to think that this premise is probably accurate, and that Brown would successfully divert votes from Vallas and McCarthy.
Rahm, are you and your minions reading this blog? If you want to win this election, why don't you FINALLY FOCUS ON ADDRESSING MIDDLE-CLASS VOTERS' CONCERNS: our city is in deep decline. We voters need to see a vigorous turn-around plan that tackles issues of too high taxation of your middle-class population, too much crime within middle-class (and even upper-income) neighborhoods, far too much feather-bedding patronage and municipal resources wasted on "optics", and far too much coddling of low-income/no-income constituents who receive a disproportionate amount of attention and financial resources while contribute very little to the overall well-being of our city. Chicago has a reputation of being a crime-riddled city, a corrupt city, the city with the slimmest economic-recovery post 2008 and with the lowest housing-price recovery as well.
Rahm plant just like Fioretti.
Crazy but not stupid , campaign funds turn into legal defense fund when the Feds charge
Actually Bill turned out to be OK once he moved to center. Hillary on the other hand would have mover further left, thank God for Trump. AR&D stands for anyone but Rahm and Dorothy. Kind of a nice ring to it AR&D.
She’ll get elected and then is sent to the pen....typical Illinois/Chicago values.
They’re gonna forgive 16 years of unpaid water bills.
What a complete embarrassment, both to the DemocRATic party and the City of Chicago. Under federal investigation and she decides to run for mayor? I don't know which is more stupid, her for her decision to run for mayor, or anyone that would actually vote for her.
Her time as Clerk of the Cook County Court has been a complete failure. She should have modernized the court system to allow for electronic filing and get out of the 1970's mainframe age a long, long time ago. The public and the legal community deserve this. And the Illinois Supreme Court gave her a deadline for implementation which of course she did not meet.
She can't even run the court system. And now she thinks she can run the entire city? Give me a break.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
Just as the perennial political sad sack Carol Mostly-Braun...collect those campaign funds and stiff the creditors under the guise of a having a genuine platform for elected office.
Think about Blago (not taking a dollar that Fed knows of) makes Brown look like she’s Fccking Golden and why oh why so untouchable?
Why is a corruption suspect still allowed to continue to operate a city office?
Should be suspended without pay, right ?
"Four years into a federal grand jury investigation....". Trouble with investigations that take four years. No wonder there's no confidence or trust in the system!
It is all about money. She will try to raise money for a run for mayor. She then will use the money to defend herself. It is strictly about money for Brown.
just typical politics.

Could it also be that Browns entering the mayoral race has more to do with her attempting to bolster her anemic campaign coffers for mounting legal fees brought on by the federal case against her? I'm not sure but I think you might have your tinfoil hat on backwards, sport.
Signed,
One Dumb Piece of Shit (Ret.)
She is nothing but a joke, 4 years investigating her? They must have quite the cash "lock her up!" And Chuy just sits and has that shit eating grin waiting until May for a crowning of his girl for mayor its coming,and Chuy and his people read this blog! Message to chuy you tell her to come out for law enforcement and law she will make the biggest sweep in Chicago history and will overwhelm all opponents! "just do it!"
Even though they threw a bone at you with little luis seat your a fighter and dont take the "crumbs" but you want it all the time is now!

She knows she's UNTOUCHABLE by th fbi and doj...

While I agree this is a setup for the election you do not understand how the Mayor election works. A candidate needs 50% plus one vote to win the election. All of these candidates are being put in place so Rham is guaranteed to be in the top two in the primary ensuring he makes it to the general election in April where only the top two vote getters get to run. He will then be up against whoever manages to come in second ensuring Rham’s win. Set up yes but nobody can win getting only 20%.
Great leaders! God help us......
Kim Foxx draws kudos in D.C. but mum on ambitions
She has been in office for only a little more than a year, but Cook County’s top prosecutor Kim Foxx is already attracting attention on the national stage.
Foxx on Wednesday night was feted by the Democrats’ Washington, D.C., elite at a gala dinner where she received the Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award from Emily’s List, the major committee that works to elect pro-choice women nationwide.
The state’s attorney shared a table with U.S. Sen. Cory Bookerand met with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at the event.
That’s the kind of clout that would be very helpful in a run for higher office.
But asked by Chicago Inc. about her long-term ambitions, Foxx said all of the things you’d expect a neophyte politician to say about focusing on her current job and how she had “so much to do.”
Foxx gave a touching, well-received acceptance speech about her late grandmother, Myrtle Wilson, who would have turned 100 earlier this month. Wilson, who was born the daughter of an Arkansas sharecropper, came to Chicago in the great migration and helped her teenage daughter “guide me through a world that challenged our very existence,” Foxx said.

That lame ass Gutierrez will definitely run for the office of Mayor. Bank on it!
Look at it this way. Rahm is probably the only guy that can win that would be not worse than Rahm. Sometimes you take what you can get, regardless of how rotten it is.
“Coming out of th closet”! LOL SCC! I bet the Dems are wishing for that!!!!
Wow would be something for chicago to have 2 mayors in prison at same time. Keep voting democratic love all the drama.
I pray daily for the Health & Safety of all Police Officers, especially in Chicago. Why anyone would risk their lives for the ungrateful low lives that now live in Chicago Is beyond belief.
She is raising money for a no win situation just like Fioretti did in another impossible situation.
They had posted comments years ago that Ms Brown had messed up the clerk's office with files missing and unable to find information on cases. It turned out that an employee was stealing files and taking them home and shredding them obviously, to get Ms Brown kicked out of office. Other complaints such as blue jean day were instituted by previous administrations and employees blamed the wrong person, Ms Brown. The FBI is not always right especially when it comes to blacks. They just don't believe they can be wrong. I agree with he recent comments that everyone who lied on her should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and the FBI needs to stop this false investigation now.
Maybe the leader of North Korea would be available if the mayors and candidates end up in Leavenworth.
J.J.
She isn't running to win. Papers printed statements from insiders saying she can use funds donated to her campaign to pay for her present legal woes. It's an old trick, not often used, but it's not the first time 'round.
You don' get it. Brown and the likes of her have no shame. Load up on funds and steal more. Its the politicians way of life.Born into a life of lying,cheating,stealing, and back stabbing your family and friends to get ahead in the political field. Business as usual.
Actually Bill turned out to be OK once he moved to center. Hillary on the other hand would have mover further left, thank God for Trump. AR&D stands for anyone but Rahm and Dorothy. Kind of a nice ring to it AR&D.

With that post how much money did you have to pay Dorothy to get your job you’re doing a great job for her let’s just hope the FBI does their job And indicts her soon and maybe get you also! Lock her up!
Maybe Kim foxx could be the next Hillary Clinton.
You have to admit that old Dorthy Brown will add even more comedy to this political farce.
The mayor's race is the fucking clown car of the Shitcago big top.
All these politicians are like dancers in a stage show. They all already know who will be the lead dancer. They are just doing the steps of backup dancers. This is political choreography.
OT Just read that Ca. Governor Brown predicted 3 BILLION will die due to climate change. Yes sir just bent over and pulled that number right out of his ass. Guess that would take care of the over population worriers. No justification for that number but billion sounds better then million. One could only hope that number would include Mr. Moonbeam himself. Sorry Jerry your time in the sun should be up sooner than later. Got to laugh at the time in the sun comment. LOL.
Another stalking horse. You got white, black now all you need is a brown stalking horse and Rahm gets another term. The Chicago Way in action brought to you courtesy of the Chicago Democratic Machine where only the connected are valued all others back to the back of the bus.
But madam Clerk dresses very nice. Look at Toni/Tony, more cat hair on her then the cat room at PAWS. Also that kitty liter smell to boot.
What ever happened to Jamal green's youth center at 79 & Ashland? The abandoned bank building he got for nothing and received millions of dollars in donations to rehab the place. Well it's been over a year and the place is still boarded up. No work has been done. Ain't this some kind of fraud? He accepted the money and nothing is getting done.
What will she do with all the money she raises? What did Fioretti do with the money he raised? How much did he pay his convicted vote fraud campaign manager? More to come.
