Mayor Rahm Discovers Winter Can Be Cold In Chicago

The contrast between New York City’s newly elected Mayor Bill de Blasio and our very own Mayor Emanuel was never so dramatically displayed as when winter storms recently roared into their respective cities.

I was taking de Blasio’s advice as I dug out the snow that seemed to be forever falling over the weekend.

I’ll bet. I can only imagine the behind-the-scenes meshugas as the mayor and his operatives argued over whether opening schools or keeping them closed during the cold would make him look better.

If you recall, he invoked that tenet when parents and students threatened to boycott a day of school to protest his cuts and closings.

You know, I think this would make another great lesson for a high school civics class called What Is Mayor Rahm Really Up to With the Crazy Shit He Does.

Got that, Chicago?
