CHICAGO AND RAHM EMANUEL: PARTNERS IN CORRUPTION, Kevin D. Williamson writes:

Emanuel may very well end up losing his job. Ill-tempered, accustomed to getting his way, and arrogant as Pharaoh himself, he’s not much of a patron to begin with. But the model of public life he stands for will survive him. It may even get worse. People in Chicago may be unhappy with their schools, their police, their public finances, their roads and sidewalks, and the 2,700-and-counting shootings in their streets, but they are not victims of corruption at city hall: They are partners in that corruption. And they’re getting what’s coming to them.

CNN Law Enforcement Analyst Harry Houck has a simple two-step plan for reform: Chicago Should Impeach Rahm Emanuel, Elect GOP Mayor. And not just Chicago — as Kevin noted in a previous article, “There is no city in the United States larger than San Diego with a Republican mayor,” something that must change, if only to save the cities from these crime and corruption-ridden municipalities’ worst parasitic instincts.

Beyond the individual cities themselves, there’s another implication for “Rahm Emanuel’s Disaster for Dems,” Noah Rothman posits at Commentary. “A smart Republican office seeker could make hay of this moment and drive a wedge in between Democrats and their most loyal voters. For a politician auditioning to serve as the president of all Americans, this would be a smart course of action. It would also be a politically beneficial one.”

Is there anyone in the Stupid Party smart enough to step up?
