Zober certainly, but who else is behind the scenes keeping his nose clean and imbuing him with the appearance of possessing that vision thing?<br /><br />Re: Corey, he can thank his dad and fate (and Zober?) for softening up the electorate with Luke. In 2017 Corey will be about 32-years-old with a term and a half or so on council. He'll look like Methuselah and the second coming of FDR and Gandhi compared to Luke, and voters will be trampling each other at the touch screen to seat him at the right hand of Bob. Which reminds me, when are we going to get that statue of Bob standing in Schenley Park hold a "Thank You Pittsburgh" sign?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
