Full Disclosure: I met Joel Pollack twice in 2010 when he ran for Congress in Illinois’s 9th Congressional District (the district in which I live). At the time I was much impressed by him and he did not show the nuttiness we now see out of him. In 2010 I was proud to have voted for him, now I am not (though even if I knew who he really was, I still would have voted for him over Jan Schakowsky).
