“I have fully acknowledged my mistakes in judgment and apologized,” Claypool said. “But I did not regret the passion for justice that led to that mistake.”
Claypool mistakes lying as the defense of justice for poor kids and that is why he will always have a job and another six figure pension in Illinois.
You see Forrest was doing a solid for CPS General Counsel Ronald L. Marmer at the CPS Board , a pal.
This pal would throw your salary and my salary away - combined. Pals like Ron always need more gelt. That is why they can and do waste tax dollars in the public trough, while kids at Harper High and Oglesby Elementary learn . . .nothing.
Illinois is a stupid State.
- We elected Pat Quinn, after he proved what a ninny he was when Blago went to the joint.
- We elected GOP Bruce Rauner to hold a place for Prog-Dem Michigan Avenue Fats -aka JB Pritzker
- We worry about Mike Madigan and vote handsomely for his daughter
- We think a wedding dress is proof of residency
- We loved Toni Preckwinkle until the Pop Tax
- We elected Durbin and Duckworth to the Senate
- We elected Marque Kirque to the Senate
- We believe the idiotic media.
- We think Paul Simon Polls are not rigged
- We tolerate Forrest Claypool and his all too numerous ilk
I hate to kick a man when he is down. I don't. Forrest Claypool, the poster child for Illinois Grift and Illinois Attention Deficit Disorder, is anything but down.
Forrest Claypool will never be down, unlike some Streets and Sanitation truckman, who might nod off on break in the cab of a big blue city truck and catch the camera eye of Chuck Goudie's I-Team, or Andy Shaw's BGA snitch patrol. That guy will never work again in Cook County and his kids will be pulled out of St. Joseph the Worker Grammar School, or the Lou Rawls Charter School, because the tuition nut is too high. Forrest Claypool has amassed a fistful of pensions as well as all of the change that fell between the cushions on the 5th Floor, Chicago Parks, County Board, CTA and CPS.
I might even suggest that a little something must have landed in the side pockets of Claypool's Joseph A. Banks slacks from Ventra and Bombardier, were I a mean-spirited scandal monger.
Shucks, I don't work for the media.
Any way. The Chicago media is more than reluctantly kicking grease and mud on Forrest's nicely tailored duds about fibbing to the General Inspector.
He will survive. He will survive. Claypool will survive because he is such an unctuous weasel, practiced grifter, a preening soul-less Progressive and habitual sneak. In short, he is the perfect model of the WTTW, WBEZ approved Reformer.
He is passionate about justice and will lie his lath-like ass off to get justice.
Forrest resigned as CPS CEO.
Give him a solid twenty minutes and he will be appointed to another monster salary on our dimes.
I never kick a man when he is down.
Never.
