Countdown to Rahmageddon: New York Post Discovers Rahm's Potty Mouth

By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 6, 2010 3:00PM

We've been watching with bemused incredulity for weeks at the Rahmformer. Looks like the Big Apple is just now taking a shine to the Emanuel campaign's attempts to pain a "kinder, gentler" Rahm.

The New York Post's "Page Six" column — which is really the only reason to read that paper — takes the time to remind its readers of Emanuel's reputation for vulgarity and hot-tempered outbursts. Tell us something we don't know.

Have to admit, though, we would pay a premium to hear Emanuel tell aldermen at a City Council meeting to "pull their fucking tampons out" if, say, he decided to move forward with his ethics package if elected. That's a poetic use of profanity that rivals a sailor.
