To understand the next 4 years, you have to understand the world according to Chicago . While it is a city in Illinois , it is also a completely different country, with a whole different set of morals and language. There are only three rules which anybody can understand. You don't even need an attorney to understand them and if you need an attorney, well, you know too much...so look out for Rule #3!RULE #1...No matter what you see, hear, or do, you don't know anybody and you don't know nothin!
RULE #2...If you capture something on tape or camera, it doesn't reveal nothin!
RULE #3...If you know what everybody knows in Chicago , well, you still don't know nothin.
Now pay close attention! We don't want to have to say this more than once. It's very simple.....we'll illustrate. Remember, you know nothin.
These two? They don't know each other! They said they didn't.
