Rahm’s rough welcome, continued

Yesterday, I posted video of Rahm’s first morning on the Chicago mayoral campaign trail — blocking commuters’ way and creating a paparazzi logjam.
Looks like the rest of the day didn’t go much better. Residents responded to Rahm’s “Telling It Like It Is” tour by giving him an earful. Choice bits from the Chicago Tribune:
As the cameras rolled, Emanuel stood up and tried to quell the simmering scene, explaining how he felt the Obama administration had helped create jobs.
“You are going to be asked some hardball questions and get your bat out,” Paul Johnson, 49, eventually told Emanuel. “Welcome to Chicago.”
It wasn’t necessarily the welcoming Emanuel envisioned. After spending most of the last two years living in Washington, Emanuel begins his campaign trying to get voters to view him as a Chicagoan and not an interloper.
The open-borders crowd wasn’t much warmer:
Supporters of U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez and former Chicago Public School Board President Gery Chico rallied around the restaurant catcalling as Emanuel made his way down the block. Some local activists also handed out fliers ripping Emanuel for being part of a White House that some feel hasn’t been active enough on immigrant rights.
“Gutierrez si! Rahm no!” several people chanted outside, while Chico’s supporters gathered signatures to get their candidate on the ballot.

According to Rahm’s blog, he ended his first day of campaigning at a bowling alley. No word on whether he beat his old boss’s anemic score. Such men of the people!

Rahm the mayor of Chicago? What could go wrong?
Chickens going home to roost?
Caption: “Don’t touch me, I don’t know where you’ve been.” (In the style of Basil Fawlty.)
“Homey don’t touch dat!”
He and Chicagoland pretty much deserve each other. That being said, he’ll buy and steal the election one way or another; the ends justify the means.
Little Big Man…
Rahm; “Honey, I’m Home”!
Caption contest: Come on Sistah, gimme some skin. I use to work for a black guy. Some of my best friends are black. And don’t be freaked out by the two little fingers.
Ref the pic: did he piss off some Japanese mafia types? It looks like he’s missing the tip of a finger.
Rahm: Oh that, I lost it in a bowling ball accident, the finger hole was little tight.
I noted that, too, Dexter. And it’s the middle finger, besides. Ironic, from the F’n-a-bomber.
Well, his campaign will be in the gutter, so no surprise there.
I’m sure he shows it to a lot of people. Especially political opponents.
Does this guy live in reality? It’s more like a rolling boil at this point. Even in Chicago.
Rahm: Oh that, got that from Bo. The President’s pooch is not as friendly as everyone thinks he is.
How suitable, since he was creating a 7-10 split between commuters and their jobs.
Gutierrez, Chico or Rahm? My my the people of Chicago do have choices don’t they? Problems on top and problems and Open Borders is the issue. It must be a big city phenomenon-Phoenix has open borders Phil Gordon as mayor, Los Angeles has Antonio Villaraigosa, there is Bloomberg of NYC and some strange dude in Frisco. All cities dying on the vine, their people are hurting and Open Borders is the issue.
But the peasants must not mind-they keep voting for the same old same old.

give a man to fish and you feed him for a day
teach him to fish and he will spend his weekends in a boat drinking beer
Caption contest; “Hey, I can solve the city’s budget problems. You got two tens for a five?”
Fixed it for you.
Caption: “Joe Isuzu? No, I’ve never met him. Why? I remind you of him? In looks or deeds?”
Chicago should not waste a crises.
Maybe he likes it rough.
Caption contest:
Dat’s a pretty face you got there. It’d be a shame if sumpin were to happen to it. If I win mayor, I’ll make sure you stay pretty. Capiche?
I’ll bet he’s one of those freaks that uses a bowling ball with only two finger holes.
Was that wrong or funny?
Caption contest:
I’d like your vote.
You can’t have it.
Why?
Because I still want it!
Uh, I’ll get you another one. Let me check the graves registry.
Caption–
Sorry, I wouldn’t touch that with a vaccinated crowbar.
So how many people here support Rahm as the “lesser of two evils”? Come on, you’re not a bunch of “purists”, are you? Hey, if you don’t support Rahm that must mean you support Gutierrez.
caption contest:
Rahm: I promise to bring you more change you can believe in!
Lady: I not dumb enough to fall for that line again!
Kei$sha, pinned against the wall in fear of this strange dude, declines the Chicago mayoral nominee’s request to “pull his finger.”
You keep stickin’ your hand out like that, someone might take a bite out of your fing….. oh, never mind!
Hey Rahm, Maybe there’s an opening for a dancer.
AN, you do have a way with your thoughts, glad your back. You make me laugh and think. ty.
So what the hell you been doing all this time he was away, picking lint out of your navel?
“Whew – something smells like dead fish.”
Elton John: Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
“Eeek, typical white person.”
“Rapping”
Hey, My name is Rahm
and Y’know, I’m the bomb
Give me some skin
and help me win
give me your vote
help with your house note
don’t vote for anutha’
come on,and help a brutha’
Ooops, you’re on the wrong board. You should be on your usual haunt – Huffpo. Most people on this board are trying to elect conservatives and Republicans. Only a few of you are trying to push Democrats.
Rahm was the ‘voice of reason’ at the Obama WH. Really.
Now he’s gone.
Save that lint and make a sweater
Caption contest
“What is this icky white person bothering me? So typical.”
Caption Contest: “Come vit me if you vant to live!”
or
“I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle!”
caption contest: “Hi – wanna be a czar?”
My caption: “I don’t know where that hand has been.”
Rahmbo likes it rough, say the regulars at Chicago gay hangout “Man Country”
This rough?
caption: >”No thanks, it smells like dead fish“.
Caption “EEEEWWWWW, I wouldn’t touch that thing with Michelle O’s hand.”
Like Gutierrez? If you’re a Chicago voter, and you’re not voting for Rahm, then you’re helping elect Gutierrez, isn’t that right?
If you’re interested in the Chicago mayor’s race, I suppose you’re right. I don’t live in Chicago, I’m not a Democrat, and I’m not a Marxist or a race monger, so I’ll leave that race to you who are one or more of the above.
“Sorry, I don’t have any money left to give.”
“No thanks, the hand-job you have been giving us the past two years is enough.”
Ah, so only someone as liberal as Rahm would want to see him win, even if the alternative is someone who’s even more liberal.
Congratulations, you got it. Now all you need to do is apply that same understanding to other election races.
DO NOT WANT
