People from Chicago who kick ass.
Let's make a list of great people from Chicago that, for one reason or another, kick ass.

I'll start with a couple.

Jenny McCarthy...one of those South Side Irish girls...:)

Barack Obama. Not born here, but Chicagoans were smart enough to start his political career.

Add to the list!

1. Larry and Andy Wachowski
I'll forgive them for the Matrix sequels if they can deliver the goods with V for Vendetta.

3. .


LEO
You're scared of Babish.

BARTLET
Oh, like you're not.

LEO
No, because we are both men of Chicago.

BARTLET
What is it with people from Chicago that they're so happy to have been born there?
I meet so many people who can't wait to tell me they're from Chicago, and when I
meet them, they're living anywhere but Chicago.

LEO
You wouldn't understand.

6. Buddy Guy
He caused the collapse of the Soviet Union just by throwing a guitar pick at it after a solo.
