A Proper Response From Rahm Emanuel
Rhymes With Right —
... kids sang at that concert and Emanuel was pretty gentle in how he rebuffed the reporter in question. Every public official has a private life and is entitled to a bit of family/personal time, and Emanuel was drawing a healthy line to guarantee that he would get to be a Dad. Whats not to respect there? And given Rahms reputation, Im actually amazed there werent a few curse words which I would have been hard-pressed to condemn under the circumstances.
