Corruption? Democrats invented corruption. Chicago Democrats perfected it.

Truly sad. One of the very worst of the Clinton butt-boys finally nailed.

How sweet it is!

Rahm Emmanuel is a graduate of the Low Bred Billy Blythe School of Political Ethics which means that his motto is "ethics? we don' need no stinking ethics"

[Tacis]

How amusing!! To mention Emanuel and ethics on the same page is fantastic! Emanuel is a filthy and corrupt member of Willie's White House sewer dwellers. It is unlikely that a word of truth has ever passed his lips.

But, there is not uncertainty about him. You never have to watch him or listen to him. You know what he will say on every issue. He will follow the filth line. He will support Willie, the scumbag dems and badmouth the Republicans!! On every issue, every day, always. He gets face time on some of the talk shows, it is my view, not because of what he will say (there is no question about what he will say), but because he has paid or threatened some one.

If there ever was a guy for whom I wished bad things, things that he deserved, it is Emanuel.

[cryptical]

He is a bare-knuckle politician who relishes the hand-to-hand political combat so many of his colleagues abhor.

He strikes me more as an open-handed slap-fighting nancy-boy. If he's the toughest brawler the Dems can field, I weep for the decline of the opposition.

[Libloather]

Moreover, other Democrats on the House ethics committee have similar problems and may themselves end up facing charges similar to those Emanuel uses to condemn the Republican leader.

RATS with ethics problems? Say it ain't so! (Oh, and that sound? It's the entire issue blowing up in their face...)

I heard on a chicago talk station yesterday that there are rumors that Rahm will not run for reelection next year.

[MarkAug]

I was the guy that lost to Rahm in the general election.
I can personally tell you the extent to which city workers worked on his campaign..on and off company time.
I also can't tell you how many people took me aside and complained about how much they had had "shaken down" by the Chicago City Dem's. And Rahm was the main bag man. I can also personally vouch for his take no prisoners approach...Even though he was clearly ahead in the polls he got a "smear" effort going against me: 1. He claimed a Jewish lawyer who I paid to review my candidacy petition signatures (required in Chicago) was a racist. (That was rich.)
2. The Chicago Tribune was handed a story by his guys that I had been arrested for drunk driving in another state. Of course when they realized it was someone else with a similar name they didn't run the story....

You may wonder why I engaged in the Quixotic effort to run as a Republican in a Blue city...and now that I am $90,000 in debt and the FEC is hounding me for $750 for a late filing penalty AFTER the election..I am wondering that myself.
But at least I tried.....

I remember years ago hearing that Emanuel was a bagboy for the Chicago mob.
However, is it even possible for a Democrat politician to get convicted of anything in Illinois?
