Hynes TV ad shows Harold Washington blasting Quinn

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.

The footage was filmed after Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor, fired Quinn as his revenue director.

Washington lambastes Quinn and said appointing him in the first place was a terrible misstep.

“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.
