I can barely listen to this ;-(
What's he lying about? Specifically?
I think he's obfuscating, mostly.
Unaccustomed to nuanced political discourse, some might mistake obfuscation for misrepresentation, lanaram & disaffected. Thus two different Windy City headlines on the same WBEZ interview.
Yea, he really didn't want to do the parking meter deal, that is why he was so careful about it and nothing went wrong. He was so worried about it being a mess...
As in lies, damned lies & statistics, appleuzer?
yes!
Duplicate share, appleuzer?
Windy Citizen--Hugh--contributed a report of the same interview, preceding your share by more than two hours. One of these Internet embedded links was for wbez, while the other was for nationalpublicradio.

oh, i just saw that now. well, more exposure doesn't hurt does it?
not to mention the uber provocative title!
I was rather amazed to hear him lower his voice when he started talking about black students. Very interesting. You can't say he was close-mouthed in the interview; he was a runaway train!
Keep that train track derailer handy, Disaffected.
Mayor Daley can take a punch, alright. Took one right on the jaw when the Olympics went kaput. And everyday since it's seeming increasingly absurd that America wondered, however momentarily, "Will Mayor Daley run again?"
To which the 35th St. Czar boldly replied (how's that 1933 motto go?), "I Will."
Whatever you're feelings about the man, no doubt he's brimming with dust-the-ash-off-from-your-broad-shoulders spirit. And if all the world's snootiest Europeans voting against him can't bring him down, well, Chicago's press will be writing about TIF districts and malapropisms until Mayor Daley's brought down from the 5th floor in cuffs or a coffin. That's just the reality of the circumstances.
Hawaiian punch, Len Kody?
When the Mayor "takes a punch," so do many of his constituents.
What has this vitriolic campaign accomplished?
How would Windy Citizens solve the city's problems?
