the snookerer is saying Chicago got snookered! ALL the while, hoping her “people” are too stupid to know that

“little can be done given that the city already has spent nearly all of the $1.1 billion it got from leasing the meters.”

Actually, I agree with her. No matter what is on a person's tax return, it can be used as fodder by the demagogues. What's next after this: complete checking account transaction summaries?

What she means is: “Because I don’t want to go to jail.”

I wish more Republicans would take this attitude, “it’s none of your damned business.”

Carol Mostly Wrong translation:

“Because I’ll get the black vote even if I don’t and I won’t get a single damn whitey vote if I do”

Huh. Last time I tried that line it was telling my Mom why I wasn’t going to eat mashed potatoes. I don’t think it’s going to work now any better than it did then.

She is disgusting but she is less evil than Rahm. Are they the only choices?

The people that would vote for her wouldn’t understand her tax return or care about what was in it anyway.

The main difference is if a Democrat refuses to provide information or documents, the MSM assumes there is nothing there and it is a private matter. If a Republican refuses in the same way, the MSM begins to aggressively speculate as to what that person is trying to hide.

When told by a reporter "You're being evasive.", she replied "I know you are, but what am I?".

(not really, but that's what her response made me think of)

She is truly the mayor Chicago deserves.
