Channel 5's political blog has this to say about Chicago's new Mayor:
“Foul mouthed, iron-fisted and arrogant. Say hello to Mayor Emanuel.”
Everything I’ve read, heard and seen about the guy suggests that assessment of the new mayor is absolutely spot-on.
While Daley whined when he felt mistreated by the media, Emmanuel delights in his default Rahmbo. The tone of Channel 5's coverage displeases him, so he thinks nothing of, literally, turning his back on their cameras. Some consider it theatre. I think it's the behavior of a politician of the Mike Madigan School of Doing Whatever You Like Because You Can.
In fact, Madigan should shiver a bit. So should all of Illinois. You're either this guy's ally or regarded as something he picked up on his shoe. Emmanuel redefines ruthless. In his arrogance, he knows he can get away with most anything he chooses to do. Who is there to question him? C’mon. The Chicago media? Please. Talk about bringing a limp noodle to a sword fight.
Beware Chicago. You’ve gotten what you asked for. Good or bad, Rahmbo’s about to rip you a new one.
