Everyone's been speculating what position Joe Moore would have in an Obama administration. Tom Mannis wrote this article yesterday.
Joe Moore: Like Rodney Dangerfield.... Chicago's 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore is an incompetent, discredited political hack, a joke locally and internationally. Best known outside of Chicago for his anti-goose liver legislation, he is the butt of jokes worldwide.I, for one, don't think Joe is capable of running the film projector in the White House theatre without screwing it up.
The incoming Obama Administration seems to be signalling that they are well aware of this. While other local politicians are being tapped for plum positions within the Obama Administration, Moore sits in his crappy ward office making frantic calls, begging Obama's people to get him the hell out of Rogers Park.
Moore has been the 49th Ward's guy in the City Clowncil for over 17 years. During that time, the 49th has gone from bad to bad, with a handful of businesses coming in but a drove of them leaving or failing. The mythical "streetscapes" of Howard Street and Morse Avenue are yet to happen, although Moore has been telling people for years now that the projects are imminent. Shootings are still commonplace along W. Morse Avenue and in the "North of Howard" section, but Moore and his sycophants deny this reality. While the media focuses on the wild west style shootings of nearby Uptown, Rogers Park actually has more shootings per year - they're just not as spectacular. Source.
Question of the day. Tell us what position you think best fits our Alderclown from the 49th ward.

Vote NO MOORE in 2011!
If Obama has even registered Joe's existence, he probably wants to put him somewhere distant, like an alderman in some crime ridden ward in Chicago. Oh. Wait.
Ambassador to the country of Africa, or maybe Antarctica.

ortis, is that you sarah?
not to comment on the "substance" of this post. but i cam promise you that anyone who is telling people what the obama administration considering is quite likely blowing smoke. they do not leak.
There are nearly 8,000 jobs to be filled by the Obama administration in the coming months, and now is the time to apply. If you don't mind a probing look at your life, that is.
Getting hired means you'd have to let Obama's transition team dig deep. Job seekers must complete a seven-page, 63-question document just to be considered for high-level positions. Source.
Has Been said...> "they do not leak."
Let's hope so. From the story I linked above.
The Obama transition team is not a government agency, and therefore they're not legally bound to protect the information.
How about the presidential dog-walker. He can pick up shit as a reward for letting all the Rogers Park dog owners shit and piss anywhere they want to. I look forward to the brown dead grass spots on the white house lawns. They will look just like our crappy lawns. Pick up that shit, Joe. We don't want that commie Obama to track that crap into the white house.
Rham Emanuel was leaked.

RE: Kung Fu said... Rham Emanuel was leaked.
That is not exactly true. Rahm Emanuel IS a leak. Similar to what leaks out of my ass when I am having a particularly bad day.
Proving Mo Cahill is a liar. From the AP.

CHICAGO -- Barack Obama's campaign had promised millions of supporters they would be the first to know his pick of running mate -- but the news rippled through the media hours before the official announcement.
Perhaps culpability for that media leak traces to diggers like the Drudge Report?
Delusional Mo Cahill said...> " they do not leak."
There are, of course, occasional orchestrated leaks as a way to gauge how the Senate and important constituency groups might react to a potential controversial nominee. "What the Obama people have been trying to do in floating Larry Summers' name for secretary of the Treasury is to gauge how upset his appointment will make the feminist community," theorizes Paul Light. Other possible Cabinet nominees like Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano (for attorney general) have suddenly grown reticent about talking about their political future with longtime friends. Source.
Hey Craig, is Joe Moore best buddies with Sam Zell?

Orchestrated leaks,Wood-Stein style reporting,"...citing sources whom prefer to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal."
Is not the policy of a Transparent
System of Government (the style that was so vigorously advocated and used as ammunition to target the incumbent during this wards last aldermanic election)a goal that The Broken Heart... & other closely associated bloggers desires?
Is not Transparent Government preferable to the more dramatic yet not-as-effective examples cited in this comment for revealing information to the
public?
Would you please make up your minds as to how ANY administration (on any level of American government)should conduct information dissemination relative to the public that it represents(exempting bona fide situations concerning the interests of National Security).
I don't think this last paragraph naive either.
If the intelligent and gifted Pres. Obama, the heir apparent of the (Roosevelt)Kennedy-Johnson-Nixon legacy, represents what's best about Americanistics by not only dint of his campaigning mettle/ past(?)performance record/possible integrity of insight then why is there concern?
...concern?
Concern for whether Pres. Obama ends up resembling Hoover(Oy! How severe is this economic situation anyway? Is Bernake a historical appointment?)?
Curiousity if this country has evolved past the rifle sniping punctuations that marred the
1960's?
Cautious hope for permanent resolve on issues of personal sovereignty and denial of individual rights which fueled the culture wars?
Or...
... relief that antagonisms of difference haven't become so severe where the U.N. has to intercede within our borders.
Obama represents pluralism by his upbringing and influences-at this point there isn't much else to go on. Obviously time & circumstances will reveal.
So I have concern for and curiosity about just where are we at as a people in this period of history?
With Pres. Obama at the helm then perhaps we may reclaim that pioneering spirit this country once possessed exhibiting it as an envious phenomenon to the rest of the world.
How about Easter Bunny for the annual Egg Roll on the South Lawn?
But better yet, how about as a member of a chain gang at a federal prison!
Joe Moore will do just fine. He will have the last laugh on you haters, as he and the president elect are cut from the same cloth. obama will be taking input from lord shortshanks, and that could hurt joe. Don't be jealous!!
Here is a line from a story the Chicago Tribune wrote about Rogers Park in the "Community Profile"
little joey moore is still lieing to the people of the ward, he is so full of shit!!
When contacted about the improvments going on in Rogers Park neighborhood joey stated:
"That effort will be buttressed by a $4 million to $5 million streetscape improvement initiative to grace Morse Avenue with new streetlights, curbs, bump-outs, community identifying signs, street furniture and flower planter boxes. "That will make the street more beautiful," Moore said. "We hope to have it done by summer"
Do you believe this stupid fat ass talking about the Morse streetscape being done by "next summer" What is that dumb ass moore smokeing??
Washington's new Deepthroat.
Experience: Seventeen years sucking at being alderman.
Joke Moore is to the democratic party as J. Dansforth Quayle or
Sara Palin are to the republican part
"How about Easter Bunny for the annual Egg Roll on the South Lawn?"
Fedup Dem, Joe might have to decline that position. Egg rolling goes against Joe's pro-bird leanings.
Joe looks more natural in rat suit anyway..
ryne - you are kidding me!! I only wish that were true. When did Moore make that statement? Is he talking about next summer? That man seems to say anything to the media with absolutely no intentions of actually following through.
