His City A Fiscal Wreck, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Shows Chutzpah

Politics: The former White House chief of staff journeys to Iowa to trash the Republican presidential field. As the ship of state continues to sink, the former first mate ignores the iceberg he helped steer us into.

One would think that Rahm Emanuel, currently mayor of Chicago, would be busy fixing the fiscal mess his city, birthplace of the "Chicago way" of politics and government, is in.

Illinois is imploding under a Democratic governor who is taxing businesses and jobs out of the state. But Emanuel was in Iowa, knocking Republicans and blaming them for all that ails America.

"Mitt Romney says he's a man of steadiness and consistency," Emanuel said Saturday in Iowa, indicating the Democrats might recycle a common GOP criticism if he were the nominee. "And if that's true, then I'm a linebacker for the Chicago Bears."

No, but he was offensive coordinator for an administration that has fumbled the ball on jobs and the economy.

Flip-flops? Hey, Rahm, isn't Gitmo still open? Did we miss it, or has the civilian trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City started already? What about those military tribunals and the indefinite detention of enemy combatants that was supposed to end?

That's just for starters.

It's funny, really.

Rahm thought he was going to become mayor and line his pockets, but the cupboard has already been stripped bare by the crooks who preceded his crookdom.

Actually, “Crook County”.......Rahm exemplifies the moniker.
