* Umm…

Mayoral challenger Willie Wilson demanded Thursday that the FBI and the Illinois attorney general’s office investigate Rahm Emanuel’s campaign and its mass mailing in the hunt for absentee voters.

Wilson initially accused Emanuel’s re-election campaign of mailing actual absentee ballots that instruct voters to return them to Chicago for Rahm Emanuel, P.O. Box 1346, Chicago.

But Election Board spokesman Jim Allen said the mass mailing, like those used extensively by Gov. Bruce Rauner and former Gov. Pat Quinn, actually include absentee ballot applications — not the ballots themselves. […]

“If somebody fills out an absentee ballot, it should be going to the Board of Elections — not to his place and his people. Not to someplace where he can control it. Who would trust him? Voting is supposed to be a sacred thing,” said Wilson, who recently donated $1 million to his own campaign.

I can see why some folks might want to change the law about ballot applications, but there’s nothing illegal with having people mail their applications to the candidates.

* Meanwhile…

A couple fights over red-light tickets until they agree to “dump Rahm and stay together,” in a radio ad promoting the mayoral candidacy of Willie Wilson.

In the comical radio spot airing on city stations, a man admits, “I just got a red-light ticket.”

“What!?” says a woman, until she admits, “I got one yesterday. I just didn’t want to tell you.”

“I want a divorce,” says the man.

“I want a new mayor,” responds the woman, and they go back and forth until she suggests, “Let’s just dump Rahm and stay together,” to which the man agrees.

The spot is classic Rickey Hendon…

* This one wasn’t as fun…

Even by the standards of a local political scene that’s often as filthy as a port-a-potty at Taste of Chicago, the metaphor used in a new city election campaign ad is pretty crappy.

“It’s time for an enema in the black community!” flamboyant former state Sen. Rickey “Hollywood” Hendon shouts in the spot that’s been airing on black radio over the past few days.

Hendon calls on Chicago’s African-American voters to unseat Mayor Rahm Emanuel as well as many black City Council members in next month’s election.
