Rahm Emanuel knocked off ballot by Appellate Court

I just heard on WLS radio in Chicago that the Illinois Court of Appeals (the second-highest court in the state) overturned the recommendation of the electoral panel and ruled that Rahm Emanuel may NOT be on the ballot for Mayor. They ruled that he did not meet the statutory residence requirement nor did he meet any of the statutory exceptions.

Wow.

The happiest woman in the world right now...

[GQuagmire]

Someone forgot to drop off a cash filled envelope somewhere.....

[rockrr]

Rush just mentioned it as an aside. I’m sure he will have more to say in a bit ;-)

[Piranha]

Mayor Gery J. Chico, unless the decision is overturned.

[Dixie Yooper]

I know a few judges who can expect to receive rotting fish via the USPS.

Or at least an in your face visit from a naked Rahm to give them a piece of his mind.

"paybacks is a female dog Rahm"

[reagandemocrat]

Governor Quinn should step in and say that he was there when Rahm lived in Chicago, and it is disrespectful to Rahm’s parents to question his residency, and he will prove to the world that Rahm has always been a resident of Chicago.

Rush just confirmed it on his show!!! WoohoooO!! :-)

Keith Olbermann FIRED from MSLSD? Check! Rahm "Dead Fish" Emanuel DISQUALIFIED from the mayor's ballot in Chicago? Check!

There will be much vigorous Fudderwackin* dancing today in Conservative Land!! Hallelujah! :-)

He could run for Mayor of Juarez, they probably aren’t as strict.

HA HA HA HA

[Lancey Howard]

Hilarious!
I suspect the Ubanga/Chicago mob will step in and “work things out”.

[Dick Bachert]

There IS a God!

Hopefully this will pave the way for Carol Moseley Braun to run the city into the ground.

[Piranha]

I suspect Gery Chico will win the election over Carol Mosely Braun.

[CincyRichieRich]

Not to worry, he’s employed and will likely be a cog in Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

[mandaladon]

This is Rahm’s reaction: “that is f*&%ing completely f$#*ing unacceptab­le and I F*&%ing want somebodies f*%$ing head and I want it f&*%ing NOW”

[munin]

Thinking, Ah-ah got it made now

[American Quilter]

Good ruling.
