#2 I read in the Tribune where the Teamsters are already pushing for the current Comptroller as the Democratic candidate and trying to discourage any other contenders. It looks like Daley's machine is alive and well in the Second City.

#3 Conyers, who warned that the new law could haunt the party in future

A curious phrase, almost sounds as if there were ghostly votes sometime in the past.

#4 Give Conyers some credit here. He is an expert on "national embarrassments". He sees one in the mirror every morning.

#5 Conyers is basically a wannabee.

He is ticked that he isn't getting the campaign contributions from the regional bells. I think he is also ticked that he is to old to commit adultry with the really good looking babes.

#6 "...the price of kalishnikovs in Peshawar?"

$37.50 per for the standard model. You want the nifty Speznatz S-model, it's a bit steeper...

#8 I think mhw is correct. The Baby Bells certainly have spread their wealth to Congressman Dingell but evidently stopped short of a Conyers shakedown. Maybe his stridency on reparations have made him a pariah.
