I don't know why, but it’s cracking me up tonight.
Daddy, U.S. Congressman Bobby Rush, RECOMMENDED his son be hired to this position..
One would like to know his qualification, other than "daddy" was a Congressman..
Looks like the citizens of Illinois aren't being well served by their DEMOCRAT representatives....
Interesting - that the Congressman’s son STARTED as an Assistant Supervisor....
Nothing like being the son of a Congressman to move to the front of the line...
Some animals are more equal than others......
Sounds like a combination of Nepotism, Discrimination and Official Incompetence that so many offenses could have been amassed in such a short time!

We need a good President and good people in Congress; not any more trash.
Some story. Even though it is friday night and I am in serious need of a life, I will jump on over to DU to see if the DUmmies even have mention of this. They certainly never fail to do so when the last name is associated with a Republican.
Well gang, I went through 20 pages of DUmmie threads (DUmmieland has no search function) and found not a single mention of ths case. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell ya!
not mentioned as a lib/dem until the third from the bottom paragraph of the article...if it had been a republican...it would have been in the headlines!!!!!

Sounds like Daddy needs to make a trip to the freezer and get some bail money.
