Whether that's fair or not is another question.David P.

Instead, she's turned out to be worse that Ed Hanrahan was in the same job years ago!<br />But the C[r]ook County Democrats [or shoud I've spelled it 'COVNTY' the way it's spelled on the Criminal Courts Building] will get her out of the job by appointing her to a judgeship, where her bias towards the prosecution & her total incompetence will be up against the earnest, but overworked public defenders who will desperately try to give their poor often mentally ill clients a fair shake in court.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978194163495589398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-35864630254824466852014-02-23T10:43:04.289-06:002014-02-23T10:43:04.289-06:00Problem is, when you have a boss who pretends to b...Problem is, when you have a boss who pretends to be infallible, none of the lawyers working under her can say, "Hey, we're wrong here." or "The evidence doesn't fit the crime." They'll cravenly follow whatever Alvarez says, though they may compromise their own positions and integrity.

I don't think it harms candidates at the polls to admit that they are mere humans, e.g. “I second-guess constantly… I make a mistake, you know, every hour, every day.” http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/exclusive-obama-to-abc-news-i-second-guess-constantly/<br /><br />An ad based on "My opponent admits to reconsidering his decisions in light of new facts!" doesn't strike me as particularly effective line of attack. <br /><br />But who knows.<br /><br />-- MrJM-- MrJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797594332645598420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-81917547260507768182014-02-23T10:02:04.617-06:002014-02-23T10:02:04.617-06:00What kind of terrible fear prevents a person from ...What kind of terrible fear prevents a person from admitting any error? <br />How dark are the character flaws that cannot permit any self-examination?<br />What deep insecurities prevent people from acknowledging any fallibility? <br /><br />Like scared dogs, they snarl and snap at anyone who makes a move that they do not understand or did not expect.<br /><br />Just what kind of people are in charge of Chicago?<br /><br />-- MrJM-- MrJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797594332645598420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-43594595765668405852014-02-23T09:34:31.971-06:002014-02-23T09:34:31.971-06:00Neil,

We, the citizens, insist that our politicians not have feet of clay. On the other hand, there are some people who lack the introspection necessary to realize that they are less than perfect. They are clueless. God help you if you have someone like that for a manager.David P. Grafnoreply@blogger.com
