Bean is too busy to lead 8th District

Posted October 31, 2008 11:00 pm

Is anyone else curious why Congresswoman Melissa Bean has refused to debate Steve Greenberg in the 8th District Congressional contest? She blames her busy schedule for failing to agree on a time and date. I guess she was too busy to let her constituents know what she stands for. I did get the chance to see a 12-minute back-and-forth interview between her and Greenberg on WTTW. In the interview she looked annoyed that she actually had to answer questions. She also looked comically uninformed when she refused to comment on Obama's or McCain's economic proposals because she had not had time to review them. She is too busy to debate, too busy to answer questions and too busy to have an opinion on the economy. I'm voting for Steve Greenberg, because Bean is just too busy for the 8th District.
