Vallas Roasts Rahm

The Contrarian article is quite the read:

  • There he was. It was Rahm Emmanuel on national television attending a New York Knicks–San Antonio Spurs championship series game. The former Chicago mayor was sitting in floor seats of which the price ranges between $75,000–$135,000. Who knew he was a Knicks fan? It's convenient to have a super-agent brother who also happens to be securing you an interview on practically every mainstream cable show and podcast, lecturing us about how the Democratic Party has lost its way while presenting himself as its moderate voice of reason.

    I had been reluctant to write about Rahm, who in presidential preference polling is barely registering. Illinois’ other presidential hopeful — Governor JB Pritzker — is polling at just two percent. One gets the feeling the country is tiring from Illinois expatriates running the country. Not our best export. However, Emanuel took time out of his Don Quixote-like quest for the White House to stop in Chicago to meet with my biggest supporter to urge them not to support me making another run for mayor or a run for Chicago School Board president.

And after that, it's off to the races as Vallas pretty much roasts 9.5 for almost twenty paragraphs.

Fun times and a good reminder of what a tool Rahm always was.

Go read it all.

Gee Paul how long were you part of the same daley machine as Rahm? Every job you got was because of the machine. You ran the worst public school system in the country for how many years and still kept your job? Please go away and dont ever run for office again in illinois. You have already lost every possible spot there is.

Paul Vallas needs to just go away. What has he accomplished? What has he done for the police?

Before someone says he helped with our contract then that was a self promotion for himself. The FOP was doing all the hard work and John Catanzaara wanted him on the contract committee. There were strong rumors that he was leaking our negotiating strategies to City Hall. Remember, a politician will always sell you out for their own benefit.

Rahm is the kind of guy that smiles right in your face while shaking your hand, but then drives a knife into your back as you walk away. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

I forgot to add, how soon people forget Rahm’s covering up the police shooting.

I hope he gains just a little traction, so we can Van Dyke him. End his dreams in humiliation.
