A couple years ago on a Saturday night about this time of year, I saw Rahm, his wife, another couple, and his security detail enter the movie theater on 4600 N. Lincoln, and through the glass doors I watched Rahm alone toss his coat to the cop, like he was the valet. Like this photo. After Rahm settled in to watch his flick, members of detail showed up at the Starbucks down the street, and they were muttering under their breath about the little #%}}€!?! The arrogance of the moment has been imprinted on my mind ever since. Good to see nothing has changed.
King Louis XVI– I have one of those Rahm stories as well. Two guys and a female in an elevator. The female is a staffer for an agency and the tiny guy missing a digit is a board member on his way to a meeting, holding a folded WSJ and a Starbucks. Everybody minding their own business looking t the numbers when the tiny guy mutters “Hold this.” No one moves figuring he’s on a Bluetooth or talking to himself. A moment later he clearly says to the female “I said hold THIS” as he thrusts his coffee to her. She sheepishly takes the cup as he languidly turns the page on the WSJ…
The guy is the most arrogant so and so I have ever met.

Isn’t that the jacket Hillary sent? The one with a note saying the feds WILL snoop around all they want into the CPD? The one with a photo of the underside of a bus as a reminder?

Rahm, we’ve gone over this 50 times now. It’s “Raise your right hand….”

Either that or he’s practicing for his moonlighting gig as a waiter.

Guess that takes “wearing the jacket” to a whole new level.
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:24 pm:
It was just a tad too cold for the prop sweater…

Wonder if Rahm asked for his mittens…
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:26 pm:
In the old days, you started out as a “the driver”, now it’s “the valet”?

- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:31 pm:
“No, no, I’ll send for my things when I’m settled in… “

“Fine, just give me the f’ing thing already.”

“… is the car running?… “

Rahm asks for his cloak of darkness.

Symbolically, Rahm is on his way out.
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:38 pm:
Sneedless to say, it fits him well…
- Quizzical - Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:39 pm:
Here, put this on. It’ll protect your suit and tie from the foam coming out of your mouth.

“It looked ridiculous on McCarthy… Anita says it doesn’t flatter her and refuses … No, Mr. Mayor, all of City Council won’t fit inside.”

There’s a King of the Hill episode where Hank is forced to retain the services of a dog whisperer who makes Hank walk like that with Ladybird.

The guy is a little jerk and there is nothing humorous about it. The Sun-Times and the Trib should put it on their front page for perspective.
