  45. Now with early voting and a submissive majority on the state supreme court, long time Chicago residents like Harry Caray, who always intended to return to his Chicago residence, can continue voting and voting in perpetuity. Moreover, Harry endorsed my campaign with his vote.

    @$^*#%, so what if he died in Arizona! Harry’s buried in Des Plaines #$^+&*! Alright, it’s not in Chicago, but it’s close enough. His restaurant is here! Enough with the #$*^&@% residency #^$@%!

  63. Harry - So I hear you play hardball. Ever make it to the Bigs?

    Rahm - Was I in the Bigs? Man you can’t get any $#@%^&*@ bigger. But then this job came up and I came back.

    Harry - You too? I used to make %$#@ out of those boys in blue. But then I had to tell Augie to take a jump, and I came here. Best decision I ever made. Nothing like hardball in Chicago!

    I was gonna go with “And they say I have a big head…” but Quimby and MrJM beat me to it.

    ===“Steve, we’re joined now by Ron McDaniel, a good-looking Jewish kid from Washington, D.C. Tell me Rod, how long did you work for President Reagan and what brings you to St. Louis?”===
