| #12 He wuz more famous than I thought, but you is apparently referring to this story, apparently outta the mouth of da man hisself: The name of the Ward Committeeman was painted on the front window. I walked in and I said "I'd like to volunteer to work for [Adlai] Stevenson and [Paul] Douglas." This quintessential Chicago ward committeeman took the cigar out of his mouth and glared at me and said, "Who sent you?" I said, "Nobody sent me." He put the cigar back in his mouth and he said, "We don't want nobody that nobody sent." |

| #10 Ex-Rahm Emanuel Aide Found in Pakistan with fake Mexican passport and huge wad of cash. Geez, Can't a fella go to his favorite overseas bank and make a deposit from his graft and corruption fund without people making it a federal case outa it ? |

| #9 Bobby and Thing: in Chicago nobody gets hired whom nobody sent. Abner Mikva found that out a long time ago (you can Google him and the story). It's who you know. A conviction doesn't disqualify you for a job in Chicago if you know the right people. This character evidently did. |

| #1 HT; Instapundit. Probably being a flight risk/and or avoiding prosecution rather than acting as a courier. |
