Emil Jones, defending his decision to bequeath his office to his son, Emil Jones, III, told the media yesterday that keeping it in the family is a political tradition. "'I recall John F. Kennedy, president of the United States, when he became president, he recommended his brother. Right? And his brother was elected,' Jones said, in an apparent reference to Sen. Ted Kennedy, who followed his brother as a senator from Massachusetts." Then he confused which Daley came first.
Unlike Ted Kennedy, who won his seat in a special election held at the request of his brother, then-President John F. Kennedy, Threemil will face non other than Spanky the Clown, AKA Ray Wardingly, perennial Local Republican Candidate. Wardingly, Jones the Third's only opponent, has come out swinging. "What is this, Russia? First it was Stroger, then Lipinski. Now we have Emil Jones," Wardingly said. Winning his district might be a long shot, but either way, we think he should get a better photographer.

Keyword being "elected".
When I see dudes like Jones I can't help but think of the "Senator Clay Davis" character from The Wire.
I can't give my son my job? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit!
Sheeeeeeeeeeit
Navin, don't disrespect! How you gonna compare Clay Davis to General Urko? I mean if it looks like Gen Urko, talks like Gen Urko and walks like Gen Urko it must be Gen.Urko right?
I love Ray's website!

You all do realize that a good number of voters are simply going to vote for Emil Jones thinking it is his dad right?
Here are two predictions. One, when (and if) we see any campaign literature for Emil 3.0, it will have no mention of his threedom. Two, when he's on the ballot, look to see if his name has the numerals after it.
This is repulsive, repugnant and shameful. But are we surprised?
won't any democrat run against this guy? can they? how about an independent? sigh.
won't any democrat run against this guy?
Already had the primaries a few months back, so no. Independents? It would be a longshot, less than 100 days before the election. A millionaire who feels like dropping a lot of cash on an election instead of a new Maybach or something.
A little note for the Obama nation, the annointed one's "political mentor"...Emil Jones.
Is this the change you've been waiting for?
(and don't accuse me of supporting McCain, they're both nogoodniks)
Well I'm voting independent Albany but I don't totally fault Obama for having to play the Chicago game. If he hadn't we'd be saying Obama who? about now...
His site's great spook,
"Deliver us from Emil!" haha...
