Dan Rostenkowski (1928-2010)

Help us caption and translate this video on Amara.org: http://www.amara.org/en/v/B1pV/ Dan Rostenkowski was one of the most powerful Congressmen in Washington for 36 years, serving as the Chairman of the influential House Ways and Means Committee. His seat in the 5th district of Illinois continues to be a national and local locus of power, having been filled by Rod Blagojevich, Rahm Emanuel, and now Mike Quigley. In 1980, Tom Weinberg spent several weeks shooting Rostenkowski at the height of his power, at the time of his first appointment to the Chairmanship of Ways and Means. In our video tribute below, Rostenkowski openly discusses the way politics actually get done in Chicago and Washington. It begins with his frank introduction to the 1980 freshman Democratic Representatives orientation meeting, where he assures the new politicians that the Democratic party will never ask them to vote for bills that will harm their chances of being re-elected, and therefore expects their loyalty. Next, he tells a story that reveals not only his own power on the national level, but shows that in all matters Chicago, Mayor Richard J. Daley trumped even President Lyndon Johnson. Finally, we see Rostenkowski in action at a rally in Pulaski Park, speaking with genuine affection about his lifetime neighborhood of Bucktown, confident that it would eventually revitalize.
