Tiger Beat on the Potomac (thanks Charlie!) morning email thingie has shaken me to the core of my being:
“FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: “Rahm Wants to Run. Yes, For the Presidency” — a marmalade-dropper from JMart to start your day.
“Rahm Emanuel “has been as visible as any other Democrat” since returning from his stint as ambassador to Japan, writes POLITICO’s Jonathan Martin in his just-published column, and blatantly has 2028 in his sights. “Name the political podcast and Emanuel has likely been on it or will be shortly,” JMart notes. “He immediately snagged a CNN contract and regular Washington Post column … He’s also hitting the lecture circuit, appearing for paid and gratis gigs … and later this month will make his first stop on a service academy tour when he speaks at West Point.”
“The message: JMart has even seen the outline of a Rahm stump speech, with education — and a stern message for the left — at its heart. “I am done with the discussion of locker rooms,” Emmanuel told a D.C. conference last month, highlighting low achievement in kids’ reading skills. “I am done with the discussion of bathrooms … We better start having a conversation about the classroom.” And yes, the crowd lapped it up.”
