Daley to Blago: I Ain't Mad At Cha

While DuPage County State's Attorney (and gubernatorial, state attorney general and lieutenant governor also-ran) Joe Birkett was praising the Chicago police for their awesome work fighting street gangs, Mayor Daley was soliloquizing on the zen art of not getting mad.

"No, I’m not mad at the governor. There's so many good things. You can never get mad at anyone because when you get mad it changes you. You get disappointed in people and these are good things that we bring out," Daley told reporters. "So if I were ever to get mad at anyone I’d just get disappointed because many times what you say can have a huge effect on an issue. You should be careful about what you say at all times."

Daley was referring to Blago's offer last week to deploy state troopers to quell the insane violence and nearly unquenchable bloodlust of Chicago's street thugs.
