John H. Stroger Jr, re-election candidate for his seat as President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, is in a bit of a political bind.

He suffered a stroke last week – a bad one -- and was promptly rushed to Rush University Medical Center, one of Chicago’s best. Folks want to know why he didn’t opt for treatment at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, the facility that bears his name and is, oh, just a block or two from Rush. Stroger nurses are particularly upset and made their voices heard at a recent press conference.

Mr. Stroger was unavailable for comment (something to do with the fact that he had just had a STROKE, folks.)
