Rham Emmanuel Is So Proud Of Chicago That Videotapes His Announcement In Washington D.C.

Rahm Emanuel is trying to be mayor of Chicago and he filmed a very boring piece about being glad back in Chicago. Except he was in Washington D.C. when he said this: From Ben Smith of Politico: Rahm Emanuel kicked off his campaign for mayor of Chicago with a homecoming video, filmed in front of a bookshelf with a vase and a family photograph.
"I was born here, and my wife Amy and I raised our three children here," he says. "I'm glad to be home."
But an Emanuel spokeswoman, Lori Goldberg, confirms that the video itself was actually filmed in Washington, D.C., in the offices of AKPD Message and Media, the firm founded by David Axelrod.
The fact that Emanuel's use of the word "here" wasn't accurate is an amusing footnote to what Illinois lawyers say may be a serious legal problem: Rivals are challenging Emanuel's residency, and his right to run will hinge on where his "home" actually is. Emanuel didn't respond in detail Monday to a question on the subject.

Yeah, kind of like Harry Reid saying he'd rather live in Nevada rather than in the Ritz-Carlton.
