More Daley Lies Exposed

Is it just us or does the press seem a bit more willing to point them out?

• Mayor Daley acknowledged today that he took multiple trips — as he put it, “I don’t remember all of ‘em” — aboard a $31 million jet owned by a non-profit organization under investigation by the IRS and Congress.

  Daley changed his story one week after City Hall insisted that a September 2006 trip to Singapore was the mayor’s only flight courtesy of EduCap, a multi-billion student loan charity under the microscope for allegedly abusing its tax-exempt status.

"...changed his story" is a polite euphemism for "lied through his teeth to a willing press corp which then publishes the lies to an ignorant populace."

So now the question becomes did Shortshanks declare these generous payoffs "gifts" properly on his taxes? Or his Ethics statements? Or at all? CBS, not exactly a paragon of responsible reporting, hasn't yet disavowed it's statement that Daley took 58 flights on EduCap's private jet. At the First Class rate, that's more than chump change.

Perhaps Shortshanks is suffering from that Kass-labeled malady that seems to affect Daley whenever questions arise about his scruples? Fed-heimer's disease. IT sure seems to pop up a lot lately.
