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.
- 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.
