I hate to sound like I’m defending “Rahmbo” here but, quite frankly, I’m taking his side on this incident. He may well be corrupt and guilty as sin, and probably is, but this jerk of a reporter was hounding him while he just wanted to be a dad and listen to his kids’ concert. The way he was quoted sounds incoherent, but I’ve been interviewed in the press and reporters nearly always do that. It sounds like he wanted to say something like “Leave me alone, Bozo. This is dad time with my kids.” That’s close to what I would have told the cretin.

There have to be plenty of opportunities to question him about this without horning in on his family time. That’s just craptastic on the part of the reporter.

Rahm and the reporter can both go jump in Lake Michigan for all I care. But the kids aren’t at fault. If you didn’t like what the press did to Sarah Palin you’d better be consistent and not like what this reporter just did to Emanuel.
