CHICAGO -- Chicago election officials gave the go-ahead Monday to print millions of ballots for the city's mayoral election without Rahm Emanuel's name, after an appellate court ruled earlier in the day to kick the former White House chief of staff off the ballot.

I bet he is very ticked off right now.

I saw this about an hour ago and wondered why there weren’t ten threads about it.

AP Headline:

Ill. court throws Emanuel off Chicago ballot.

I doubt many of us trust that the decision of the IL Supreme Court will be based on the law. I know I’m going to be surprised if it is anyway.

“Chicago election officials gave the go-ahead Monday to print millions of ballots for the city’s mayoral election without Rahm Emanuel’s name,”

Not to worry...The SEIU thugs will be on hand to make sure everyone knows how to write “Rahm”.

[Outlaw Woman]

Maybe the Supremes of IL won’t take the case

[Lancey Howard]

Whew... It smells like there’s a mob war brewing in Chicago.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. Rahm’s “friends” aren’t returning his calls.

[conservativefromGa]

Poor Rahamie. Chicago will have to anoint another Rat.

TALK ABOUT BAD TIMING (/SNIX) Rahm just announced he "raised" more than $10.5M in just 3 months....he's THAT perfect. Rahm also unveiled a lengthy, star-studded donor roll ..........

One of Emanuel's brothers is the Plus-Perfect Hollywood super-agent and uber-liberal activist, Ari Emanuel. Ari is "kindly" called aggressive and temperamental -- the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's wildly popular "Entourage" character, Ari Gold. Ari took over Creative Artists Agency to achieve H'wood agency supremacy----- CAA is an unbelievable brand he got for nothing, and he crushed the internal competition in days....he's THAT perfect.

With connections like that, Rahm "raised" $100,000 from Hollywood mogul David Geffen, $75,000 from film director Steven Spielberg.....

=======================================

SURPRISE Emanuel's brother Dr Zeke is also PERFECT. Rahm tapped Dr. Ezekiel as WH health care policy advisor (thank God Rahm will "help" Ezekiel handle O'Care, and Medicare/Aid billions)

Rahm's brother, Dr. Emanuel, has received numerous awards....election to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Science and the Association of American Physicians. Hippocrates Magazine selected him as Doctor of the Year in Ethics.....the AMA-Burroughs Welcome Leadership Award, the Public Service Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the John Mendelsohn Award from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and a Fulbright Scholarship (which he declined). Dr. Emanuel served on President Clinton’s Health Care Task Force, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), and on the bioethics panel of the Pan-American Healthcare Organization. Dr. Emanuel has been a visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, UCLA, the Brin Professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School, and the Kovitz Professor at Stanford Medical School.

Was Dr Zeke spit-shining his penny loafers when the subect of O'Care death panels surfaced?

======================================

ANALYSIS So bogus. I feel like heaving.

Rahm Emanuel "says" he raised more than $10.5M in 3 months, and unveiled a lengthy, star-studded donor roll (gag) ..........

The State BoE and the FEC should rigorously scrutinize Rahm's filings. Better yet, the FBI should interrogate all of the names listed as donors. They will find very few of these people actually donated. The names are covers for Rahm transferring millions of his ill-gotten gains, looted while he was (gag) in the US govt.

How do I know?

(1) As WH COS, Rahm was involved in the biggest con of the decade (more below). (2) As a Clinton appointee, Rahm looted Fannie Mae----the centerpiece of the criminal organization called the Dem party. Obama defied the law and covered up the looting by refusing to release F/M financial documents to the media under FOIA. (3) As a (gag) Congressman, conniving Rahm ran a "Foundation" from his Chicago home ------ that allowed him to live tax-free.

This guy knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weigh Watcher weigh-in. His activities on Wall Street also need scrutiny. Supposedly, in just two years, he made off with $16M from 2-3 deals.

============================================

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the United States Treasury (cough) rescued AIG with a taxpayer backstop totaling $180 billion.

COMMENT The US Treasury's $180 billion rescue is "interesting" b/c then-COS Rahm Emanuel directed Treasury's activities.

So where did that $180 billion go? "Professor" Ohaha knows nothing about high finance----but Rahm toiled on Wall Street before becoming a (gag)public servant (4 term Congressman, Clinton henchman, Fannie Mae looter).

====================================

HOW DID GANGSTER GOVERNMENT SCAM $180 BILLION? PROBABLY LIKE THIS (the Madoff MO): The trustee ID'ing Madoff's assets, found Madoff created a labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places offshore that hid government fraud, thievery, money launderering, tax evasion........ all out of sight of taxpayers, the IRS, SEC, FEC and US banking laws.

BTW, stolen money is taxable.

At least half a dozen people in the Ohaha admin are going to walk away from “Public Service“ living like the Sultan of Brunei......and we can name them all without even breaking a sweat.

[Liz]

The irony here is that for once in his self-serving life, Emanuel responded truthfully------he checked the box "part-year resident" in his original 2009 Illinois tax return (later amended)....the thing that got him in trouble.

Rahm checked off that box truthfully b/c, in his deluded, power-crazed mind, he had no intention of going back to Chicago for a long, long time....after all, no one in their right mind would give up a high-ranking WH COS job to run for a pedestrian job like Mayor of Chicago.

BACKSTORY Then Obama's numbers started diving as the Tea Party ascended. Once beatified as Dem campaign guru, Rahm was given the bum's rush out of Washington before Nov 2010 Midterms----as disaster loomed---in hopes of saving a few Dem seats.

Rahm had committed the ultimate presidential crime---he failed to protect Obama from voters' revenge. W/ Dems out out of power---Rahm desperately needed to show he was still a player---thus the mayoral run.

===========================================

LAUGH BREAK----NEWS STORY Just last week, Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel launched his campaign ads in the style of his political foe, Speaker of the House John Boehner -- with crocodile tears.

His first TV spot features a casually dressed Emanuel wearing khakis, T-shirt and leather jacket. Famed tough-talker Emanuel looks into the camera with a slight tear in his eye and expresses love for his hometown city. This isn't the first time Rahmbo shed tears to show a softer side -- he welled up when he announced his resignation as White House chief of staff in October.

I’ll tell you exactly what will happen: millions of ballots will be printed without the dead fish on them, by a union goon contractor at an exhorbitant rate, and at the very last second an Illinois supreme court bribee will step in and declare that leaving the dead fish off the ballot will disenfranchise some minority hustler and so the same union goon contractor will have to re-print the ballots to reflect this, at an even more exhorbitant rate because it is a rush job, and all the ballots will not reach the polling places in time, so, instant chaos and more questionable election results from the state that ressurects the dead every four years.

[bjorn14]

Chicago doesn’t use printed ballots they use punch cards. There about a 1,000 precincts in Chicago. They would just have to reprint the the insert for each voting booth about 10 per precinct. But what you say could all very well be true just hope Carol Moseley Braun doesn’t get elected.

[Cheburashka]

Not to worry...The SEIU thugs will be on hand to make sure everyone knows how to write “Rahm”.

If he is not eligible to run for mayor under Illinois law, they will ignore his write-in votes.

“If he is not eligible to run for mayor under Illinois law, they will ignore his write-in votes.”

Well, I was being a bit facetious, but from what I see in
Chicago politics, anything is possible.
After all, we probably have an illegal immigrant as POTUS.
