Let’s play “Guess the political party,” shall we?
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted for corruption in office while mayor and previously as president of the City Council.
Not until the 11th paragraph in the al-Associated Press article do we find out what her political party affiliation is:
Dixon, a 55-year-old Democrat, served on the City Council from 1987 through 2007 and as council president from 1999 through 2007. She became mayor in January 2007, finishing the term of Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley, and was easily elected to a full, four-year term later that year.
Gee, what a shock. Another corrupt Democrat running a corrupt, Democrat-dominated major American city.
And media bias is behind the attempt to obfuscate the fact she’s a Democrat. When Jim West, the former mayor of Spokane, Wash., was brought down in a corruption scandal, virtually every article in the Drive By Media identified him as a former Republican leader in the State Legislature, as much to label him as a hypocrite on his alleged homosexual behavior while an opponent of homosexual rights as to identify him as a corrupt Republican.
Is anyone really shocked? And I don’t mean shocked in the Captain Renault manner. I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
I’m not. No one with an IQ higher than that of a cocker spaniel should be. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That’s why most if not all one-party-run major cities are rampant with corruption.
The Chicago Way goes national but can be found replicated in other major American cities.
