Lori Lightfoot's Legacy as a Petty, Lying Tyrant

from The Tim Dillon Show #336 · #336

5 min

Tim continues eulogizing Lightfoot, recalling her vendetta against a limo company over a fabricated bathroom incident, her weird breathy voice, her disastrous 17.1% vote share, her balloon pants and Leprechaun-in-the-Hood fashion comparisons, and comparing her to Batman villains like the Penguin.

In this bit10 moments
  • Lightfoot symbolized a politician who didn't even try to lie in a way that would make citizens feel comfortable.
  • Tim admires petty people and recalls Lightfoot fabricating a story about a limo driver using her bathroom, which the company disproved with camera footage.
  • Her obvious disdain for anyone mentioning facts about Chicago's crime and murders — dismissing it all as propaganda.
  • Lightfoot's strange breathy voice seemed like her body was shutting down some of the lies she was trying to tell.
  • She got 16 percent of the vote in her reelection bid — actually 17.1 percent, and Tim wonders who those voters were.
  • Even her name is amazing — Lori Lightfoot, perfect alliteration.
  • She dressed like a gangster and epitomized the look, and she actually was a gangster in her conduct.
  • A petty, vindictive tyrant who fought tiny battles with her inner circle instead of focusing on things that could help people.
  • What made her special was how bad she was at concealing her corruption — almost no desire to conceal it at all.
  • She was like a kid showing up to class with no homework and no lie prepared, just staring blankly at the teacher.
