Self made? From the public trough? The guy was making $90k as a lecturer at UofC Law School and a back bencher in the Illinois Senate doing favors for Emil Jones. His wife was making $400K as an executive at UofC medical center. His wife was also on the board of a company called TreeHouse Foods (extra $125k yearly) while he railed against Walmart coming into the city of chicago. Except he forgot TreeHouse food biggest customer was...........Walmart. Oops. Nevermind.
He had the very good fortune, after getting his ass whipped by former black panther Bobby Rush in a congressional election (primary), to become the Dem nominee for senate when Peter Fitzgerald retired and his favored opponent (Jack Ryan) was slimed by the Dem dirty tricks machine. THe only thing worse than the corrupt Dem machine in Illinois is the inept and dumber Repub Party.
He made his money by pushing/selling his fluff books (who writes an autobiography at age 32?). I assume the same crowd that buys Dr. Phil books and Oprah garbage also picked up those two riveting tomes by Barry. Having Oprah fluff you up and promote your stuff is a guaranteed money maker. See "Oprahs' favorite things.
Isnt it ironic that all these guys who promote "public service" want to start at the top? Maybe not.
