Blast from the Past

Researching substantiating links for this morning's column turned up this old Chicago Tribune piece from 1994.  Just look at this deceptive bull**** that David Roberti pulled in his desperate bid to cling to the power so he could advance even more citizen disarmament, and that staff writer Hugh Dellios and his editorial handlers passed off as ethical journalism:

Instead, the former Senate president finds himself in the throes of a high-pitched election campaign this spring, waving an illegal Uzi machine gun and standing by while aides display how easily an AK47 automatic rifle can rip apart watermelons.

Lie-spreading sacks.

This is from around the same era when a cop in a suit threatened to arrest me because I wasn't an "Authorized Journalist."
