Video: The hubris of Rahm Emanuel

Chicago mayoral candidate Gery Chico exposes the hubris of fellow candidate Rahm Emanuel. The former White House chief of staff feels he above such things as answering questions from reporters or participating in debates and forums.



Emanuel isn't the only arrogant candidate. Yesterday Carol Moseley Braun told reporters that she wouldn't be releasing her tax returns. When pressed for a reason, Braun replied, "Because I don't want to." She relented, but her spokeswoman's explanation about the about-face is telling:

She changed her mind. It is no big deal. She had intended to release them after Feb. 22, but everybody made such a big deal of it.

The first round of voting takes place on that day.

Hat tip to the Ward Room for the Emanuel video.
