    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:40 pm

  26. 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.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 4:51 pm

  35. 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.

  36. 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?

    Comment by Cook County Commoner Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 5:12 pm

  37. 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.

    Comment by illini Thursday, Dec 3, 15 @ 5:54 pm

  40. 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.

  41. Mayor Rahm Emanuel displays the disappointing results of ‘wishing in one hand’…
