That Obese cow? You are kidding.
Neither Karen Lewis nor Toni Preckwinkle are good choices for Chicagoans in next years mayoral race, but it is a measure of how hated Rahm Emanuel is that anyone is considered to be an improvement over this arrogant and abrasive egomaniac. Emanuel spent millions in 2011 and received the fewest popular votes of any winning mayoral candidate since 1919. He is banking on big money to pull him through again in 2015. He is roundly disliked and spends more time on the road or promoting Obama’ agenda than he does governing Chicago. Chicago’s epic crime wave is attributable, in part, to Emanuel’s steadfast refusal to hire police officers. The police department is about 1,200 officers below its former strength.
