CHICAGO (AP) -- A lawyer for Rahm Emanuel says the former White House chief of staff will appeal a ruling that says his name can't appear on the ballot for Chicago mayor.

Mike Kasper said on Monday that they will take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Of course he will.

Rahm gay bath house mate, Obambi, will execute a direct order for him

[Jean2]

This is amazing! What I mean is; just last week everyone was saying that he was ahead and the election was his to lose. Even Bill Clinton came to town to campaign for him. What gives?

[Izzy Dunne]

According to the UPDATE in this article, "the state supreme court is expected to be even less-friendly to Rahm than was the appellate".

So, he'll have to settle for Sec. of Defense or something back in the Regime.

It'll suck if poor Rahm has to without a gummint paycheck.

He may have to go back to ballet dancing.

Imagine having to live in the city you want to be Mayor of.

What is this country coming to?

[henkster]

If he doesn’t get a quick reversal, it’s over. He and his campaign are now considered a dry hole, and nobody is going to pour more money into it.

[isthisnickcool]

He kind of looks like Al Pacino playing Jack Kevorkian.

[ReneeLynn]

When is ‘the Chicago way’ going to kick in for Rahm?

[Skepolitic]

I don't know whether a former Presidential Chief of Staff should be disqualified from running for Chicago mob boss mayor under Rahm's circumstances, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

[Doogle]

appeals = calls Dumbo for more money.

[Vision]

These people would have no lives if they weren't constantly seeking power to control people.

Take the Clintons for instance.

[what's up]

No worries...he'll get his MSM buddies to do a propoganda job on how "retarded" the appellate court is to sway the supremes.

Oh, but Dems have to be "civil" now, don't they?

[littleharbour]

It’s a state law, so it’s posssible the Illinois State legistlature could pass an emergency exemption for their favoured thug.

[rockinqsranch]

Rahm’s Attorney will be dropping by the Fish Market this afternoon.

[NewHampshireDuo]

So who’s next in the polls? Mosely Braun?????

[blackdog]

This is an unintended consequence of the recent revival of the birth certificate, or birthgate of Obamma. The courts won’t take a shot at the king, so they are going to be especially rough on his roundtable of lapdogs.

[ncfool]

Best news I have heard all day! A crisis is bad thing to waste.

[what's up]

Can you imagine if Mosely-Braun becomes mayor of Chicago?
