Ricky Loves Lukey, So The List-Makers Love Ricky

The Slaggers report that Rev. Ricky V. Burgess has attracted somewhat surprising support in his bid for re-election in InsolvenCity's ninth council district: Checks from a trio of List-Makers.

(What would be most surprising would be evidence that high-living cream-skimmers such as Charles Zappala, John Verbanac and Bill Lieberman have developed any interest in the well-being of citizens of Homewood, but we are confident that one can be dismissed.)

Somewhat surprising is the appearance of Republican insider Lieberman on an inner-city black Democratic candidate's campaign finance report. More surprising is the discovery of Mr. Verbanac's fingerprints signature on a check donated to any candidate.

The explanation is obvious: Ricky Loves Lukey. And the parking privateers continue to intend hope to ride Lukey and Ricky to a huge payday.

The antidote would be a strong primary challenger to Rev. Burgess, who was denied the Democratic Party endorsement. Instead, however, InsolvenCity's dysfunctional Democratic Party has produced the weak incumbent's prayer -- two relatively lame challengers, to split the anti-incumbent vote. The challengers' campaigns are compounding their original mistake by devoting their time and attention to juvenile carping at one another rather than to developing a credible, effective challenge to Rev. Burgess.

This should come as no surprise at all. All that Burgess has in the way of political support are the strings that lead to a bought and paid for Mayor's office.

Someone should ask the Burgess why is it he has no other support but the insider crowd that runs the Mayor's office and none in the community.

yeah, it seems like any community support he has are from people he's given money to, not who have invested in him politically.
