I really enjoyed reading Author Mike Royko's columns in the major Chicago metropolitan daily newspaper, where for a brief time, we both worked. His book about the political patronage system of the Chicago Democratic "Machine" so-called, while interesting and well informed, overlooks the supreme viciousness of the Illinois Republican "Machine" as I call it. We have one here, where I live now: a vicious Republican political "Machine" running Manchester, New Hampshire like a Vassal State. Neither Mike Royko back then, nor those similarly acerbic Boston political critics, Mike Barnicle and Andrew "Andy" Heller, have anything to say about Republican misdeeds. Their silence during the misrule of George W. Bush was "defeaning." So much so, that you would think the guy did nothing wrong, when in fact he did EVERYTHING WRONG. Even the American LAWYERS were strangely SILENT during the FIASCO that was that GD TEXAN George Bush's TENANCY IN OUR WHITE HOUSE. ]]>
