Keyes Watch

By Rachelle Bowden in News on Sep 15, 2004 4:38PM

Following the great Chicagoist tradition (ha!) of Ryan Watch, we will now be officially embarking upon Keyes Watch. And what great timing, since Keyes said yesterday that he plans to make "inflammatory" comments "every day, every week" until the election. How convenient for us. It's almost too easy.

So, to start us off, what inflamitory comments did Keyes make yesterday? Well, he likened "the political machine" that Mayor Daley controls to "the troll under the bridge" that keeps the state from moving forward on easing airport congestion in Illinois. To which Daley said, "He doesn't understand (the issues) because he doesn't live in Illinois." and suggested that Keyes may believe "O'Hare is on the South Side, maybe," Daley said, "He needs publicity. That's all I have to say."

Chicagoist may not be posting a Keyes Watch every day, but we are definately always excited to hear what the next thing out of his mouth is going to be. Stay tuned for more!
