Yes, he lets off a “gangbanger,” but where is the passionate Rahm Emanuel in this announcement video, the one with all the swears? Rahm asks people to talk to him in “blunt Chicago terms,” but he won’t do that himself? Sure, we expect him to temper his rhetoric for the new electorate, but that only means changing “fuckwit crusty old tampon” into “fuckwit crusty old tampon deep-dish pizza, da Bears.” Whatever. Rahm Emanuel will have to withdraw soon anyway, because this video contains a huge lie:
According to his spokeswoman, this video “was actually filmed in Washington, D.C., in the offices of AKPD media, the firm founded by David Axelrod.” That’s funny, because Rahm says “I’m glad to be home” and keeps referring to Chicago as “here.”
And also: Those charges that he doesn’t meet the residency requirement to run? Pretty legitimate!
So Rahm may be in some trouble here. But perhaps if he yells some swears at it, nakedly, in a locker room, everything will get in line. [Politics Daily]

If Rahm can't get elected even though he doesn't meet the residency requirements then Chicago machine politics is dead.
Dead, but still on the voting rolls.
Vote early and vote often!
Time to change your name to Calm Emanuel.
(Sorry.)
It all sounds fuckin' retarded to me.
Flinging magnetic curses…how do they work?!
Severed horse head just out of frame.
OK, video is blocked at work. Can someone tell me: while he talks is Emmanuel playing nervously with one of those little rubber piggies that poops out its own translucent intestines and a little eyeball when you squeeze it?
How many takes did he need to get a clean run through? Or was it just digitally edited because they just don't have that much time.
Well he has to court the voters of Chicago, a city known for its' old-fashioned propriety and hatred of salty language.
Wait a minute. . . Bobby Jindal is running for mayor of Chicago?
His father was an immigrant? I demand to see Rahm's birf certificate.
"So Rahm may be in some trouble here."
But where is here, Jack? Are you doing a job swap with that Chicago artiste, Applez?
Between Chicago and Wasilla, mayoral races are where all the action is!
Meh…Andy Samberg could have done a better job.
This new Rahm is the result of arugyla poisoning. I blame Michelle.
Jesus, listening to that dude gives me the willies.
He's such a low talker in this video, he should be running for mayor of CSI:Miami.
This is definitely not the Emmanuelle in Chicago video I ordered.
Meh–Needs more fist-shaking and beatdown threats
Rahm didn't understand that "stick it up your…" was just a figure of speech. After 8 years, he has lost a finger, and every republican now carries a piece of him wherever they go!
i saw him at an 'l' platform this morning and said 'yes this is all very well good but i need a job can you help?" he only laughed and did not gut me.
this is actually a true story and it is sad.
Poor guy; everyone in Chicago pronounces it "Ram".
On the plus side, we all know "Emanuel" from the one song phrase we always remember during drunken Christmas Eve midnight mass. Oh, wait…
He talks and looks as though someone shot him in the butt with bear tranquilizers. Is this him trying to be genteel? Just be yourself Rahm! Your simmering rage is what makes you so sexy. Who'm I kidding, I'd still hit it.
