Was Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins on crack for the past 20 years?
When mayoral candidate Patricia Watkins asked Carol Mosley Braun where she had been for the past twenty years, Mosley Braun told her challenger:
“Patricia, the reason you didn’t know where I was for the last 20 years is because you were strung out on crack.”
Now that is reading your opponent!
Yes, Chicago politics isn’t just about knocking you opponent of the ballot, it’s also about who can be more outrageous.

I agree with the commentor in the video. These kind of exchanges are funny and make us go “Oh no she didn’t” but they are not good for the political process or for helping people take voting and government seriously. Mosely Braun is a woman of serious reputation, I don’t think she needed to go there.
Good Lord! Politics is uglier than the Paparazzi/Hollywood Game. This is scarier because politicians make our laws and run our country. It is fine to laugh and enjoy when Paris Hilton shows her lady-business getting out of a car, or speculating about a catfight between Jennifer Annison and Angelina Jolie. We really don’t need this in the legislature.
Sitting together was a nice gesture at the State of the Union Address, but I doubt that this climate of “civility” will last. Just my opinion–take it for what you will.
It’s a shame that Carol Moseley Braun chose to explode like she did yesterday. Looks like a CMB Administration would be full of name-calling, outburts, and no support for second chances or ex-offenders.

Surely there is some law against eating human flesh? Even if it was given up willingly in a case like this…. 0_o

Technically what she sold was her cuisine, it just happened to have her cock and balls as the main ingredient.
Now that’s one spicy meatball!

Oh yes she did! LOL. Thanks for posting! Hope the snowstorm that’s coming up doesn’t interfere with voting!
