What Did They Tell Him?

Interesting:

• Sixteen hours before he was found dead, city School Board President Michael W. Scott got a Sunday-morning call from a top aide to Mayor Daley to schedule a meeting about questionable expenses that Scott and his staff had charged to board credit cards.

  Scott had a 13-minute conversation with mayoral press secretary Jacquelyn Heard starting at 11:01 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times about Scott's suicide.

So Heard was tipping him off? Heard was doing damage control? Heard was delivering the bad news that Scott had a ticket to the #42 Mayoral Express and he better be under it, so the mayor could giggle like he does and say, "I didn't know nothing about no credit cards"?

How many other calls did Heard make like this? And if it was at the behest of the mayor, that would explain why Shortshanks looked so shell shocked for a week afterward.
