The Return of The Chicagoist Reader Meet-Up
Ellen DeGeneres taped her talk show here yesterday, and Mayor Daley continued to make Chicagoans proud when -- despite her name in gigantic letters behind him -- he introduced her to the crowd as "Helen" DeGeneres. And Ellen didn't just let it slide:
"The city has a whole transportation system named after me. 'El.' 'Ellen,'" DeGeneres told the mayor before a seated audience of about 1,300 folks.To make matters worse, her schlockmeister guest Robin Williams got in a dig as well:
"My name is Reuben here," [Williams] said upon joining her on stage.The show featuring Daley's gaffe will air on Tuesday. [S-T]

What a freaking simpleton.
Can't speak English.
Couldn't pass the bar.
Had the right father.
Now he's our mayor.
What a jackass.
Hey, Ward Up...don't discount the value of being a simpleton who can't speak English and performs poorly in school, but who has the right father.
With those credentials, Daley could be president!
ophmarketing, I happen to be a Republican, but I actually agree with you.
ophmarketing,
I was thinking county board president or govenor but I guess commander in chief also applies
Also:
Reuben Williams showed up at L and L on Friday night. I have pics.
I'll go ahead and agree with slaphappy.

The link works for me. And I'm not trying to earn "brownie points" for anybody.

I'm no fan of Duh Mare. But when we start letting anger blind us to the facts, then we've got a serious problem.
Ehh... Crap. Let's try this.
