Decades-old video of the late Mayor Harold Washington calling Pat Quinn “a totally and completely undisciplined individual,” is at the center of Democratic challenger Dan Hynes’ latest attack ad aimed at the sitting governor.
The television spot released today is the most recent in a series of ads geared toward swaying black voters against Quinn, who faces Hynes, the state’s comptroller, in the Feb. 2 Democratic governor primary election.

“totally and completely undisciplined individual” in Chicago when Mr. Washington was mayor, means he (Governor Quinn) could not be controlled by other Politicians at that time. Sounds like a compliment to me. Hynes should be a shamed of himself.
This takes grave robbing to a. Whole new level. Disgusting
ABSOLUTELY INSULTING. SHAME ON HAINES.
