What? Rahm Emmanuel is a phony? Say it ain’t so!
Rahm Emanuel kicked off his campaign for Mayor of Chicago with a homecoming video, filmed in front of a bookshelf with a vase and a family photograph.
“I was born here and my wife Amy and I raised our three children here,” he says. “I’m glad to be home.”
But an Emanuel spokeswoman, Lori Goldberg, confirms that the video itself was actually filmed in Washington, D.C., in the offices of AKPD media, the firm founded by David Axelrod.
For additional amusement, Rahm may have caused himself legal trouble with the video. His opponents plan to contest whether he is really a Chicago resident, and it won’t help his case that he called DC home. As Rahm knows very well, fighting to keep your opponents off the ballot is the Chicago way. It should be fun to watch.
