First-term Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel could face a challenge from the mentor of his old boss, President Barack Obama.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle may have her sights on the job, the Chicago Sun-Times reports, though she insists she is running only for re-election this year. […]

Emanuel has alienated the black community, the Sun-Times’s Carol Marin notes, by closing neighborhood schools while opening charter schools. He also has angered police and firefighters in contract talks. …

What a treat for Chicagoans. Replacing a Prick for a Preck(winkle).

Puke. That’s even worse than Kirk vs. Giannoulias or the disgusting (and ever increasing) possibility that Rahm’s millionaire buddy Bruce Rauner will be the “Republican” nominee against Quinn.

In a word, Rahm. I think the bastard has the job security of Kim Jong-un, despite being an utter failure. Even I would vote for him if it was him versus that disgusting she-monster (in a runoff). But it won’t be, no one of consequence will dare oppose our new King. If and when it’s decided that Rahm needs to go he’ll find a dead fish in his bed and step aside. I think our local media is bored with reality so they’ll talk up potential challengers.

I recently read about half of a puff piece about Rahm

http://www.esquire.com/features/rahm-emanuel-interview-0314

I didn’t know “Esquire” still existed. I had to stop reading cause I started vomiting out of my eyes.

They proclaim him “America’s Mayor”, taking the post from the dear departed Bloomberg. And they quote some jerk who wrote a book called “If Mayors Ruled the World.”. I shudder to think of what would happen if Mayors ruled the world.

She is also a prick and essentially the same or worse as the ballerina in my opinion.

My guess is that she is even more of a communist than Rahm. Either way, Chicagoians will get the government they deserve.
