This tells you all you need to know about Rham.

At a dinner to celebrate Bill Clintonâs first presidential victory â Mr Emanuel was his chief fundraiser â he began to reel off the names of those who had 'crossed' him. He grabbed a steak knife and began plunging it into the table shouting âDead! Dead! Dead!â after each name.

âWhen he was done the table looked like a lunar landscape,â a witness relates. âIt was like something out of The Godfather. But thatâs Rahm for you.â

What was really "funny" about Clinton's first presidential victory was that the Eagles played "Dirty Laundry" at the inauguration party.. and a year or two later he got caught playing with a nearly underage girl and convicted by some "dirty laundry"...

Rahm is bad, but Mosley-Braun would be an absolute nightmare of complete incompetence and just as much corruption. Besides, Rahm cares about the children! Haven't you seen his commercials?

Did we ever have any doubt that the fix was in?

The IL Supremes Rule that Rham can stay on the ballot.

What a crock of shit. Now I hear Obama is getting involved. When is this corruption going to stop?

I'll say it again. What a crock of shit.

But if the people vote him in, (assuming the actual count isn't rigged) then what will this say about the city of Chicago? Are the people in Chicago this stupid?

Let's just say that the City of Chicago will get the Mayor they deserve.

Amazing how swift the system works when given the proper motivation.

CHICAGO â Illinois' highest court put Rahm Emanuel back in the race for Chicago mayor Thursday, three days after a lower court threw the former White House chief of staff off the ballot because he had not lived in the city for a full year.

The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Emanuel's favor, saying an appeals court decision that said the candidate needed to be physically present in Chicago was "without any foundation in Illinois law."
