Because the utterances "oh man" and oh boy" are usually spoken after something gets totally screwed up. And which of the sexes is usually more responsible for that??? Enough said!

When I think of "Chicago Style Politics" I immediately think of a level of unethical and criminal activity designed to get elected or getting your guy elected at all cost while destroying your opponent and other along the way. That would include voter fraud, bribery, lying, stealing, rigging elections, dirty electioneering tricks, spying, bugging, cronyism with the unions and possible mafia involvement, political favors, and the thirst for sheer power.
