"Bone Dry" Bridget Gainers First Appearance on Chicago Tonight

Greetings from the Cook County Government in Exile. I say that because the 10th District Democratic Committeemen hijacked Mike Quigley's seat on the Cook County Board last weekend by voting in Daley's choice , the dull as dish water, Bridget Gainer ,over many more qualified candidates including Kim Walz , Quigleys Chief of Staff. The best thing that can be said about Bridget Gainer is that she comes from good bloodlines.Her father Bill Gainer , is a retired lobbyist and of course our friend Bridget is the Chief Lobbyist for AON Corp. Quite an achievement for a woman who ten years ago was a budget analyst for the City of Chicago.A job her daddy no doubt helped her get as he is good friends of the Daleys(Bill, Richie and John, here to fore known as the Three Stooges!!) . Little Bridget was in charge of the project that put all those hideous bus shelters on our streets.You know , the ones with the humongous ads that take up half the sidewalk when you are trying to pass some pensioner who is walking their poodle when you are in a hurry to get somewhere in the rain!THANKS BRIDGET.

Bridget Gainer was then promoted over to the Chicago Parks District where she became Director of Lakefront Parks from 1999-2001. You 'll remember this time in Chicago Park District history as the time when Millennium Park had cost over runs of $450 million .Hey just a thought here but wouldn't the Director of Lakefront Parks have some responsibility over that project and wouldn't they be responsible for who got contract bids including the one for $8 million dollars where the Director of Landscaping was later convicted of taking kickbacks of over $100,000? Well maybe that would explain why Pat Ryan,Mayor Daley's Good Friend and head of the Chicago Olympic Bid, then helped her get a job over at AON. After all, he is the majority share holder and former head of the firm and wants those City of Chicago Insurance contracts to keep rolling in.

Well in a way , you have to feel sorry for Bridget Gainer taking on this job as Cook County Commissioner for the 10th District because it is very apparent that she is nothing more than a pawn in the Daley family's bid to throw the majority of votes on the Board to President Urkel...um sorry, I mean Stroger, President Todd Stroger. The only man who could make George W Bush look like a Rhodes Scholar! Lets face it , if Stroger loses in 2010 and Forrest Claypool gets in , the Daley family contracts for insurance bonds and sewer inspections will probably end. Not to mention the contracts that Great Lakes Medicaid will lose for collecting funds from indigent Cook County residents who are unable to pay for their healthcare needs.Now while it is true that Bridget Gainers husband, Dennis Kibby , no longer owns a part of GLM, don't you find it kind of fishy that he would sell in October of 2008 and only after it became apparent that he would be under indictment along with LACEY THOMAS for no show work at University Medical Center ? Or do you suppose it was because he knew his wife would be in a direct conflict of interest if she were to vote on any contracts having to do with Cook County Health Care? Something tells me the plan to put you on the Cook County Board has been a long time coming and I wouldn't put anything past Mayor Daley, the Daley family and their little FAT chihuahua , John Berrios, Cook County Democratic Chairman.Would you?

Well Bridget , I guess we have to give you credit for coming a long way in ten short years.
So for your entertainment pleasure , I am now posting your first interview on Chicago Tonight with our favorite here in the Danny Fernandez Household, Eddie Arruza.

A warning to viewers, this interview with Bridget Gainer and her "dazzling " personality is as dry as a package of Melba Toast in the Mojave Desert. But it is important to watch the way she does not answer any question , just circles around it like a parasitic dog who chases its tail and grinds its butt across the carpet. Its that painful . The most painful part is that she is not resigning her post as the CHIEF LOBBYIST at AON for FEDERAL AFFAIRS .So its nice that AON will now get two lobbyists for the price of one. See what your insurance dollars buy you these days!! Even on a temporary basis , this is not acceptable behavior. FIND ANOTHER LINE OF WORK BRIDGET!!!

Good luck on your first day Bridget,you are going to need it. Carol "the Cow" Cronen, the Democratic Czarina of the 48th Ward and her Band of Bolsheviks, the other 10th District Committeemen who voted for you, aren't going to be much help to you in the Democratic Primary in 2010.Funny how Carol "the Cow" betrayed the 48th Ward with her backing "Daley's Dolly " and when they find out what she has done to sell them out after they voted for her time and again, I would suffice it to say she should probably eat at home and not take any cab trips in the 48th Ward anytime soon. Once the Middle Eastern cab drivers find out how she back stabbed Jay Deratany ,a man of Syrian descent , in his quest for Mike Quigleys Board Seat , I'm pretty sure she will be doing a lot of walking in the Edgewater neighborhood.Of course this might be good for Carol "The Cow" who has the face of a mackerel and the body of a Baby Beluga Whale. Can you imagine having to roll over to that every night?? Guess there is something to be said for being gay !! And don't count on Ald Tom "More Money " Tunney either. Considering how Tunney turned his back on the LGBT Community when he didn't back two candidates ,James Madigan and Jay Paul Deratany , who were way more qualified than you for Mike Quigleys position, I would say his time might be better spent making those insidious cinnamon rolls. Stick with what you know best Tommy Boy,you've gotten in way over your head.

So in the end, we wish Bridget Gainer all the luck in the world as the new 10th District Cook County Commissioner,though we dont expect you will be there very long. Bridget, With all your charm , inability to answer questions , lack of any real political experience and " Daddy " Daley's advice , you should go far ...but only if you have bus fare for the 151 Bus since that is the ONLY way you are going to get somewhere in the next 10 months until the 2010 Primary! On the bright side , you will fit right in with all the other political hacks and Cook County Democratic Tools on the Cook County Board. I hope you get a seat next to Moreno because we know how much he is a good friend of your family.Or maybe you could sit next to Claypool, you worked for his campaign when you were working for the Park District, didn't you? How appropriate! One word of advice though, never go into the ladies washroom until at least 30 minutes after Commissioner Sims has left.It will take at least that long for the methane levels to decrease. Oh and finally, please take every photo opportunity you can with President "Urkel" Stroger, it will only help all of your opponents in 2010 of which I would expect there will be about 15 because if you have proven anything by your appointment so far, any idiot with a pulse who agrees to go along with EVERYTHING the Daleys tell them to can go VERY VERY far in ten short years. Keep on "drilling down " on those budget cuts too ,we all know how well that stopped the cost over runs in the Park District.
