WEEKEND QUOTABLES

Noble Charter Network connected to Ed Burke real estate deal. 
Noble Charters spokesman Cody Rodgers

Rahm has no regrets about Ed Burke
 “If I got rid of Ed Burke as Finance Committee chairman, I would be creating an organizing force against me and I have other problems,” he added. While he saw that as a “threat” early in his tenure, he also saw an 'opportunity.' “He has tremendous knowledge about things,” Emanuel said. ” -- Sun-Times
Democracy for America Chairman Charles Chamberlain
[Biden's] been a corporate Democrat for years, and I think the Democratic Party is recognizing that our nominee and our party moving forward really has to be prepared to challenge the D.C. power structure,” said Chamberlain, whose group has supported Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders in the past. For Biden, he said, “The wheels are going to come off the cart.” -- Politico
The Madman
 “The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby.” -- New York Times
Prisoners send handwritten letters to NYT
Alabama prison inmates
No one feels safe here. Not the inmates, nor the officers. No one feels safe here when supervisors up to the warden level stand behind the fence of the barricaded, secure area and tell inmates who have fled there looking for protection that they need to go get a knife. -- New York Times
Morgan Carroll, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party
GOP cries of socialism are “Cold War stuff” that’s irrelevant to most voters. -- Sun-Times
