Here’s another story about Rahm Emanuel dreaming he could become Mayor of Chicago, after Mayor Daley retires.

Folks, this will never happen. Emanuel is insane enough, and has a big enough ego, to believe he can make it happen, but it’s just not possible for the simple fact that Rahm has far too many skeletons in his closet to survive a Chicago primary, let alone a general election.

The Chicago black community will field a strong Mayoral candidate once Daley is gone, instead of the joke candidates that are regularly run against the Daley Machine.  When that happens, you can count on things getting down and dirty in a Mayor’s race.  No holds-barred was invented here in Chicago.  The Mayor’s office is the biggest patronage prize in the state.

If Emanuel believes a black Mayoral candidate will not out him, and drag all of his former ballerina, going to movies with Secret Service agents, getting up to all sorts of mano-y-mano shenanigans in this city secrets into the headlines, he’s crazier than we already thought.

And we think Emanuel’s pretty damn nuts.

Increasingly, we believe one of two people will end up being Mayor after Daley: Sheriff Tom Dart, or State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.

Both of these people, surprisingly enough in Illinois, are decent, non-corrupt, public officials who we personally like very much.  Especially Sheriff Dart — who is often like the one white-hatted, Lone Ranger-styled, goodguy gunslinger come to a town full of wild-west worthy greedy villains.  We’ve liked the man for years, but really gained a lot of respect for him in how he handled the Burr Ridge Cemetery nightmare.

Dart presided over one of the absolute most horrific things to happen in Chicagoland for as long as anyone can remember — this was the crisis where it was determined Burr Ridge Cemetery had been dumping bodies into heaps behind trees and in gulleys, digging up bodies, reusing the coffins, leaving loved ones exposed to the elements and feeding them to animals.  It’s worse than anything we could ever imagine.

Dart brought order to all of that chaos and somehow found a way to get things under control, against unimaginable odds. He was just the right man needed at just the right time, and if he could handle something off the charts insane like this, we can easily picture him tackling all the myriad other insane challenges facing the Mayor of a huge, mob-riddled, crime infested city like Chicago.

Dart’s just the sort to take names and crack skulls, when need be.

Mayor Daley wants current Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman to succeed him.  The MSM wants Rahm Emanuel to be Chicago’s Mayor, hence stories like this.  The black community wants Jesse Jackson Jr., or someone else black as the next Mayor…anyone black, even if picked from the phone book, that’s all that matters.

Our first choice for the next Mayor would be Tom Dart. Our second pick is Anita Alvarez.  Our third pick would be David Hoffman, the former Inspector General here in Chicago.

Daley does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, so who knows what will happen.

But, all of us here have the same chance of becoming Mayor as Rahm Emanuel does. No matter how much the MSM keeps trying to push this for Rahm.
