Who is lamer--Chicago aldermen for giving Burke a standing O or Chicago's mainstream press corp for calling Burke so smart? How did Danny Solis on cross examination? What's worse in the mind of the average Chicagoan--a corrupt alderman or an alderman who rats on a corrupt alderman? Can you tell the difference between a quote from Burke and one from Goodfellas?
