Former alderman and mayoral candidate Bob Fioretti is trying to forge a political comeback and running for State Senate, according to a recent filing with the State Board of Elections.
Fioretti, a democrat who ran against Mayor Rahm Emanuel and later surprisingly endorsed him in his runoff against Jesus “Chuy” Garcia”, is planning to run in the West Side’s 5th District, which is currently represented by Sen. Patricia Van Pelt, according to a reception invitation sent out by his campaign. […]
The reception will be at Rosebud Prime on Oct. 6, and tickets to the event run from $5,400 to $175. A representative from Fioretti’s campaign did not immediately have a statement on the filing Friday afternoon.

Rahm, “Take a look at ole Bob. This is what it looks like when I make you a shell of the man you once were…”

“Bob, tell the nice people… Tell them how wrong you were about me… Tell them… tell them how you know now, how great I am… “

“This auction is over. I already found out what Bob’s price is, I paid it, so he’s mine… “

“When I see Bob, I know what the price of independence truly is… And the price to give it up too… “

Less than candid.

“I think everyone will be glad to hear that Bob’s agenda in Springfield mirrors mine. Exactly like mine. You all will be glad to hear Bob will not have a thought that isn’t mine… when he gets to Springfield… “

“My friends, Bob here is a ‘good loser’ and I rewarded him for that. I never expected that I would continue to own him for the foreseeable future, so I’ll send him to Springfield until he thinks he can start thinking for himself again… “

All about name recognition. He wins if he gets the right support from funders.

“We all know Bob says what he means, and means what he says… until the bills come due… then the biggest check gets his voice, but I digress… “

“When is it my turn to talk Rahm……..Rahm?”

“The irony? Had ole Bob here just played ball much earlier, he’d still be an alderman or maybe I coulda moved him up, you know, rewarded him. Bob chose the hard way, and I still got him. Let him be an example.”

“I told Bob I would give him a specific amount of money. Bob came back to me, asked if he could pretty please be a state Senator. Bob caught me on a ‘good day’, so… I’ll make him a state Senator… “

“I told Bobby, ‘On you first day in the Senate, you tell President Cullerton to call me if he wants your vote’. I didn’t want ole Bob here confused on that independence thing anymore.”

I’d be happy to sing “Sweet Home Chicago.”

“So, I’m going to keep talking for a while, and make Bob stand there with that dopey look on his face, so he can wonder whether I actually brought him a check….,,”

Even at Manny’s $5K for a sangwich seems a little stiff.

Thank you Bob for acknowledging that I have to raise taxes because of bad decisions you and your fellow alderman made.
