We can totally believe this of Rahm and the GMac crew. First, Channel 5 has this:
- Police chiefs from dozens of surrounding communities met at the Chicago Police Department headquarters today, but none of them wanted to talk about the meeting.
And why wouldn't they want to talk? A commentator has an idea:
- Talked to a boss at a suburban Department. He was not happy with the Chicago Police Department. OK. That was a huge understatement. He is PISSED!
It seems that Chicago called a bunch of top bosses from other departments to 35th street for a big informational meeting on the G8. Top secret information, need to know stuff, except, they didn't tell them anything that wasn't in the papers.
The Chiefs were then paraded past the Channel 7 cameras that were "tipped off" about the "secret meeting" the suburban Departments were called to. Since Channel 7 is in the bag for Chicago, you didn't have to be a Chief to figure out you had been used as a prop. Are we getting that desperate already? Way to piss off our suburban brothers with that transparent nonsense.
Dog and pony show.
So when are they calling in the National Guard big wigs to parade them in front of the cameras?
