Steve: There's an aside in Mike Royko's "Boss" where a Chicago traffic cop tickets Mayor Daley and the brief excitement around a cop not on the take leads to his becoming a minor celebrity and people wishcasting him in a run for office.

Giving a cop the mugshot treatment because he arrested a rich person who was guilty and acting like that’s totally normal should be a moment that open’s people’s eyes to the jig.

Whereas now, of course, they're treating him like a criminal for having the temerity to ticket a rich famous dude for driving drunk.

I seriously hope that all of his friends are now affectionately calling him “that little redheaded dipshit.”
