Couldn't Happen To a Nicer Guy. Rahm Screwed in Mayoral Race!

Well, the other show dropped. The Illinois Supreme Court - the finest court Chicago politics can buy! - just ruled that Rahmie-kins' name has to be included on the ballot. No details, but geez, was there even a hearing?

I am so glad I left that commie fascist state.

UDATED: The Ill. Supreme Court ruled that his name had to be included on the ballots until they decided whether to hear the case or not. The order was to stop printing ballots without his name.

I don't get it. A lower court ruled his name off, and the Ill. Supreme Court said - wait we haven't decided to hear the appeal, but to be fair, put his name back on?

I am still glad I left that commie fascist state.

Rahm's, argument is that his "service" to the White House was just like being in the military and that shouldn't count against his residency.

Which is ......{warning strong language}...... BS.    He took a job, like any other business job.    He chose to relocate as oppose to commute.  He probably listed his DC area home as his primary residence on his tax returns.

As most of us Vets are aware, you do not relinquish your residency when you're on active duty.  Darth was a hired gun, not a sworn or elected official.  He was hired at an exorbitant salary, he had a choice, he made it, now he's gotta STFU and deal with it.

Comparing what he was doing to being in the military is just another sign that the "powers that be" don't have a clue what it is like in the real world.

On the other hand........I can see Rahmbo with a chewed up half cigar and a SAW shooting up some jihadi's in Afghanistan very easily. Hell, he'd probably consider it a vaction. That is one seriously mean, permanently pissed off jewish kid from Chi Town. I wouldn't mind having him in my platoon if I were fighting muslims. Hell, I can here his hearts and minds  speech now. "You know what's great about America? Its that a man can have enthusiams. Enthusiams. Mine? Its baseball........".
