Rahm, do us a favor and resign. As a bonus, nobody will ask you about your vacation plans.

One post said that Rahm is under pressure, and I think that is an understatement. He definitely kept the police investigation into the shooting last year under wraps so he could be reelected without trying to answer for that. His city is doing poorly in so many ways, and that’s a shame. Crime is up, jobs are down. The vacuum is always filled by something, and crime is usually at the top of the list. The only way to get the young men off the streets is to offer work that pays decent wages and maybe that would be a start.

At least he didn’t ask if “Cuba” was code for “Appalachian Trail”…

I have little sympathy for Rahm, a Blue Dog Dem extraordinaire that takes great pride in taking down political enemies. Sure he has to be frustrated, feeling all the heat from the police video that he “hadn’t seen” but why do I have a feeling he sure did know what the tape showed. I have never trusted him and find no new reason to start now.
As for Mr. Allen, why talk to one of the leading morons of politico? That move was just plain stupid.

Dear Less-Fingered Vulgarian,
OT but since your face keeps appearing here this week, we would be remiss not to take the opportunity,
- Fuck You Back.

Ha!
Was a time when reporters could have private conversations and keep it that way.
When will Trump bring back THAT America?
Big difference between a work-related trip and a trip with his family, which includes younger children. I understand the mayor’s anger in this situation.

At some point it might benefit pols to just tell Politico to shove off. Jerk their credentials and inform them they’re persona non grata.
Look at how this thing is going down? Rahm Emanuel is a dirt bag. But there is no way any “reporter” would consider a comment about his personal affairs “on the record”. Lets call this what it is. It’s Cuba. He’s going commie! That’s what this is about. It’s consistent with Politico’s decent to tabloid status.

I would agree with this if the election hadn’t been the first week of April. It seems unlikely they’d wait an additional seven months after he was reelected just to save his reelection. Doesn’t make any sense.
Agreed. I would be pissed too. There are a number of crazy people on both sides of the aisle who absolutely hate him, and I’m sure there are a few so blinded by that hate that they might try to hurt him or one of his family members.

Then have some fucking sympathy for his family ahole. Are you gonna go steal his kids lunch money because you think their dad is too much of a Blue Dog.
What is wrong with people that they can’t separate their political prejudices from the modest standards basic human decency?

You should go to his kids’ school and scream that at them, during recess.
He was asking for his number so that he can give him the usual Rahm chit chat. He is known to be dirty and vulgar.
Allen shoulda told Rahm to fuck off. He is not his friend. He is a reporter. He asked and got an answer.

That doesn’t even make sense, in context or otherwise.

Rahm’s always been a total douche-bag. I’m sure his family is overwhelmed with joy that they get to be stuck in close quarters with their nutjob father throughout holidays!
