I’ve always wondered what it would take to get Pat Quinn to shut the hell up. Few politicians pander to public sentiment more and few are more worthless. His lead in the reform of the Illinois Legislature significantly weakened independent voices in the Legislature and strengthened the Illinois Combine.
So finally, Rich Miller points out that he has shut up—exactly when he should not have. SBC is looking for protection against real competition in phone service and all of a sudden, Pat Quinn becomes a team player. The one thing he was useful for was fighting corporate welfare and not he isn’t even doing that.
When I said the other day that I would offer up more criticism of Daley, let’s remember this crap has his family written all over it with Bill Daley now the head of SBC.
Fight the Power Pat!
