Thinking Out Loud

Burckley's behavior

Don't expect Bill Burckley's disruptive behavior, which resulted in his arrest at Tuesday night's City Council meeting, to shorten his list of political clients.

People already know he can be caustic, unpredictable and insufferable.

But he is so good at the numbers that candidates of all political stripes use him.

And he is a master tactician.

He assured me from Day One that Trudy was going to beat incumbent Sandy Carmany in District 5. He'd run the numbers and he was certain.

Of course, he was right.

Burckley can be a pain, some candidates say, but he's like Dennis Rodman in his heyday with the Pistons and Bulls -- can't live with him...
