Mr. Dooley was the fictional creation of American humorist Finley Peter Dunne [1867-1936]. In Dunne's nationally syndicated sketches, Mr. Dooley expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub. His eloquent verbiage and thick accent were those of an Irish immigrant from County Roscommon. Dunne's sly humor and political acumen won the support of President Theodoe Roosevelt and his sketches were so popular and reflected public opinion so accurately that they were read each week at White House cabinet meetings. Very good .
