Is the Crony able to ready other Cronies, just not himself?
No. Other cronies are also "Danny O'Bannion's Crony" and therefore can't be readied.
From the FAQ: A card that is self-referential (that is, has card text that refers to itself by Title) refers only to itself, and not to any other copies of that card.
As such the text "character other than Danny O'Bannion's Crony" actually means "character other than <this card>", and does not speak to other cards with the same name.
So, if you had two of these in play, you could definitely exhaust one to ready/pump the other. Then exhaust it to ready/pump the first one, then back and forth to infinity.
I do quite like having infinite © and (I) icons.
PS in hindsight this card perhaps wants errata/rulings to get the result tnordine offered, but until then have at it!

Thanks for the correction. I had mis-remembered the details of that FAQ entry, and tried to use common sense....I should know better.
Yes, having infinite combat and Investigation is kinda cool, and makes the crony a good card. I would expect any errata would have made him unique which would bring him in line with how I expected him to work.
