I know this is supposed to be just a fun caption, but this is outrageous if you stop and think about it.
Paul Vallas insisted just last April that he was a “lifelong Democrat.” He hasn’t had a change of heart. He was (obviously) lying.
When a used car salesman lies like this, you don’t do business with them. How could any voter ever trust anything Paul Vallas says?
Enough ranting. Here’s a caption: “Paul Vallas will lead storytime at the GOP fundraiser Monday. Vallas will read selections from his favorite historical fiction and fantasy stories.”
There is a Billy Goat at 1535 W Madison for folks making the yucks. And even if I’ve been insanely disappointed so far in Brandon Johnson and his team, I am still happy that Paul Vallas is not my mayor. What were Jesse White and Durbin thinking?

“I still regret that Metro East delivered the nomination by a narrow margin to Blagojevich over Vallas in 2002.”
A Vallas nomination would have been a solid path to Governor Jim Ryan, if his campaign track record is any indication.

And your point is?
Blagojevich wound up being impeached and the entire state suffered for his madcap tenure. Anybody would have been better than Hot Rod.
