On Chicago: Politics

May 29, 2009


Chicago is always on the point of hanging some one and quartering him and boiling him in hot pitch, and assuring him that he has lost the respect of all honorable men.--Finley Peter Dunne

I don't think there is really anything else to be said about this quote...

Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936)
From: "Hanging Aldermen," Mr. Dooley in the Hearts of His Countrymen (1899)
