Whack Job

Another "challenger" for Rahm's spot:

• Community activist Ja'mal Green launched his campaign for mayor of Chicago Wednesday, but not without some controversy.
  
  The 22-year-old's announcement was temporarily halted when administrators at Roosevelt University cut his mic.
  
  They said they thought Green was only speaking on the legacy of Harold Washington and didn't endorse his announcement.

So Rahm has someone running for the following categories:

• the "fired outsider" for the angry ethnic white city workers;
• the "returning reformer" for the not as angry city workers of all stripes;
• the "nutty uncle" for black voters not to enthralled with either McCarthy or Vallas;
• the "crazy whack job" to sew up the angry-black-guy vote.

If only there was a reasonably well-spoken black woman who many un-informed people recall as a supposedly capable member of the Machine, but somehow completely miss the stink of continuing Federal investigations running in and out of her office on a near daily basis to split the black vote three ways......

UPDATE: See post above.
