* Joe Moore Not Liked By Council Mates - Part 2

From a loyal reader:

An interesting thought occurred to me.

If I were Joe Moore, I would be wondering where my supporters were. How is it that 37 fellow aldermen voted against him and opely participated in his public humiliation. Days after the point-and-laugh fest, nobody has come out to say "poor Joe was mistreated." Nobody has stood up and spoken in Joe's defense or commended his actions. Sure, a lot of people have commented on Mayor Daley being a bully, but most have also said that Joe has no supporters in the city council and brought this trouble on himself.

Where are Joe's supporters? After 17 years as an alderman, you think he would have established strong professional alliances or at least earned a reasonable level of respect. Joe seems to have done neither.

Kind of sad when you think about it.

I can't begin to imagine how embarrassed and defeated Joe must be. When literally all of your supposed colleagues turn their backs on you, maybe it's time to pack it in.

Well isn't Joe planning a move to Congree after Obama wins the Presidency and Jan slips into the Senate thru the backdoor!
Joe doesn't need the residents of the 49th Ward anymore.
and.....re his pal Jan - she is the Congresswaoman who speaks against the war while simultaenously supports the Militarzatio of Public Schools.
Tell those poor minority kids if the go into the military they will get $$$$ to support them thru college.
What they fail to tell the kids is you must stop off in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else in the wold that the military decides.
The military won't support your PTS
but you can go to college despite the fact you may be missing an arm , leg or even your hearing or site.
Good-bye Joe.

Good riddance Joe!

and take Jasn with you as far away as possible.

She attributes the real estate boom to Joe! Araaaaaaaaagh!
