Portrait of a Thug

A scathing portrait of Rahmbo at The Moderate Voice:

This hardnosed political operative employs methods and tactics that would make Karl Rove blush.

Ah, yes, and why did The One choose him? Harshly partisan, totally cynical, thuggish and elitist. Both of them.

UPDATE: Related, Blago's $2.3 million hit list. Lest we forget, Blago was Rahm's predecessor in the 5th Congressional and Rahm was a big part of Blago's election victory as governor.
