Mayoral challenger Gery Chico charged Tuesday that Rahm Emanuel “sat on his hands, looked the other way and took the cash” when presented with an “Enron-style” scandal as a board member of home mortgage giant Freddie Mac. After leaving the administration of then President Bill Clinton and before running for Congress, Emanuel parlayed his political connections into an investment banking job in which he earned $16 million over three years.

This must be a new guy. He doesn’t know that he is in fact portraying Rahm as somebody who you can “do business” with. That’s what they like in Chicago.

Sounds like Chico needs a couple of aspirin, or a couple of hundred down by the Chicago River.
