Chicago Mayor Disappoints His Supporters


[From article]
That's why Chicago voters picked Rahm Emanuel for mayor in 2011. They liked his rascally persona: the dead fish delivered to a pollster who disappointed him, the shower confrontation with an uncooperative member of Congress, the reported, "Take your (expletive) tampon out and tell me what you have to say" to a male White House staffer who wasn't on point.
The strutting. The finger-pointing. The swearing. Come on. We loved it.
[. . .]
He's a walking personality disorder. But his audacity exceeds his accomplishments. That's a dangerous combination.
