Rahm Emanuel Becomes Contributing Editor for The Atlantic

[Loudninja]

Rahm Emanuel kicked off his post-mayoral career Tuesday by announcing that he is now a contributing editor for The Atlantic.

The former Chicago mayor will contribute frequent essays to The Atlantic's Ideas section, according to a statement from the publication. The announcement comes one day after Lori Lightfoot was sworn in as Chicago's new mayor.

Rahm was a terrible mayor, but The Atlantic is a fine publication. Really great long form reporting.

As someone who lives in Chicago, fuck Rahm Emmanuel. All he ever cared about was creating power for himself and enriching property developers. For his part in the Laquan McDonald cover-up ALONE, he should be under investigation.

World class motherfucker.

This is entirely within their wheel house of being the home of 'enlightened centrism' and 'Very Serious People' in American media. I mean, they already have David Frum as a constant contributor and published an anti-Palestinian creed by a known pro-Israel BSer just this week, so adding Rahm isn't anything new.

If Rahm had his way the Affordable Care Act would have never happened. So yeah, this dude can go kick rocks. He doesn't care enough to get in the weeds, take some hits, and actually accomplish something.

All these shitheads just land on their feet when it comes to employment. Why did Obama even rock with him?

 

[SFLUFAN]

The Atlantic is an absolutely appropriate place for a "centrist" like Rahm to land.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Universally loathed. Quite the feat.

There were more Rahm Emmanuel's in the seats of power than not and he didn't have time to build a network from scratch.
