Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Rick Santorum

Honorable Mentions

Larry Dominick, Tor Johnson body double and Town President of Cicero.

Larry Dominick

Corruption isn’t just for Chicago. Even back in the day, Cicero was neck and neck with The Windy City when it came to breaking the law. But while the Daley clan learned how to hide their illicit doings, Cicero’s leaders just keep soldiering on with scandal after scandal, most of which are swept under the rug. Every now and then, though, something comes poking through.

Take the antics of Larry Dominick. Elected on the reformist, clean-up-the-city campaign, it should be no shock that in his short tenure he has been accused of waging war against the Hispanic community, openly admitted to paling around with Chicago Outfit bigshots, hired a couple dozen of his closest family members into the government, blown $120,000 (26k of which was directly out of a TIF Fund) dollars on hotdogs, flushed another half a million dollars on novelty balloons and the like at a town board member’s store and, of course, grabbed a whole bunch of ass.

Supposedly Dominick is a serious skirt chaser. He’s been accused of it times before, but now one woman, Sharon Starzyk, claims she has Larry on tape telling her she must deny his sexual antics if she is ever put on the stand. And who’s holding the tape for her? The FBI.

When questioned about this in court, Dominick plead The Fifth. Evidently Larry expects the government to work for him, but not for anyone else.
