Two solid years of the governor deliberately attacking people who didn't deserve it, attacking people who deserved it but in a manner that was so over the top that it wasn't believable, repeatedly saying one thing and doing another, and mugging for the cameras with one PR stunt after another have combined to grate on a whole lot of nerves.
Even the governor's stock explanation for the animosity -- that his detractors are simply upset about his reform efforts -- has driven some decent, honorable folks stark raving mad with fury.
That brings us to the governor's father-in-law, Chicago Ald. Dick Mell."
Kind of old, but it offers a different insight on the Blago-Mel fued.
