Starts getting good at about 2:40.
Jim Laski is the former City Clerk who was convicted of corruption in the Hired truck scandal here in Chicago a few years ago.
He now has an itinerant radio show, filling in late nights when regulars are out. I appreciate Jim Laski because he has the honesty of a guy who served his time. He might actually be a treasure.
Anyway he made a passing comment about David Hoffman, the best Democratic US Senate candidate here in Illinois, when a caller said he supported Hoffman. Laski said that Hoffman had a “fake fight” with Richard M. Daley, Mayor.
This is not true. David Hoffman is not in any way fake, and he did a great job as Inspector General. So I called up the show. I was in my car, and parked in front of my house in the middle of the call.
Program note: I did not mean to call Jim Laski “piece a shit”. I was merely upset that he hung up on me.
