This one surprised me.

The Cook County Republican party is offering 10K to anyone who can pony up information leading to the indictment and convinction of Mayor Richard M. Daley. I wasn’t surprised by their offer, though it is moderately novel, and sets a truly unsettling precedent.

Nor was I surprised that someone would make allegations of wrongdoing against Richard Daley. The Daley family has turned Chicago into one of the vilest, most corrupt places this side of Calcutta, and the folks there seem to think that’s just great (see Washington D.C., see Marion Barry).

I’m surprised that there’s a Republican party in any corner of The Windy Cesspool, and that they’re still trying.

That’s persistence.
