Rahm Emanuel, former head thug for the Obama administration thought he could bend a few rules and pay off a few judges and he then he could run for mayor of Chicago.
After the Bears were bounced out the playoffs yesterday, Chicago needed some good news and this is it. A court of appeals, in a 2-1 decision stated that Emanuel could not run for mayor because he did not live in Chicago for a year prior to the election. Of course, they may get Carol Mosley Braun, who like a bad pizza, keeps coming up.
From Fox News: An appeals court in Chicago ruled Monday that Rahm Emanuel doesn't meet the residency requirements to run for mayor of Chicago and ordered his name be pulled off the ballot. The three judge panel voted 2-1 against Emanuel.
In a major blow to Emanuel's campaign, Monday's ruling overturned a Cook County Circuit Court ruling that upheld a Chicago Board of Elections decision to let Emanuel run in the February 22nd election.
The court agreed with Emanuel's contention that he met Chicago's voter residency standard but added that wasn't enough to allow his run for mayor.

I guess that Emanuel forgot to pay off a couple of appeal court judges.

Yep, punk is a good way to describe Emanuel. He's even worse than Karl Rove.
