I really dislike Rahm Emanuel from his congressional days . However I
find that I like him better after reading this article which was
supposed to be a hit piece against him.

EXCERPT...  

Emanuel's reputation for nasty arrogance dates back to his days as
White House aide to Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, as well
as a congressman. 

C'mon, you know the list. The dead fish he sent to a former colleague.
The time he called a group of liberal activists "f--ing retarded." Or
the time he harangued a naked congressman in the congressional gym for
not supporting Obama's healthcare policies. While he himself was
naked. 

Say this for Rahm -- he's not afraid to let it all hang out. 

I'd go so far as to say that many Chicagoans originally voted for him
precisely because they thought it would be a good idea to have a mean,
tough pol in office to get the city through some tough economic times.


Well, as we've since discovered, it's one thing for Emanuel to be a
jerk to some naked congressman in the congressional gym. It's another
thing when he's a jerk to us. 

Like when he closed 50 schools in the face of angry protests, and was
off on vacation skiing in Utah when the closings were announced. Or
when he closed six neighborhood mental health clinics in poor black
and Latino neighborhoods, then ran out the back door rather than meet
with patients who were pleading with him to keep the clinics open. 

Or when he rewrote the city's ward map so that one of his chief
aldermanic critics found his home redistricted out of his ward. 

Dang, old man Daley couldn't have done it better himself.
