    What work should he have been doing at 8:30 on Saturday night?

      I agree. Everyone is entitled to a personal life, even if they’re a complete dick.

      Yeah, like Rahm sucks, but he would suck just as much if he was at home watching Scandal or whatever.

    You do realize everyone knows Rahm Emanuel is a dick, right?

    Like even President Obama mentioned it when Emanuel left the White House?

      Patrick Daley Thompson, Richard M’s nephew, is the current alderman for the ward that covers most of Bridgeport. Expect to see him running the city within the next decade.

      ...and this is why Chicago can’t have nice things.

    Everything I’ve heard about this man indicates that he is a despicable and corrupt. How did he manage to get elected in the first place?

      He fits the mold of a Chicago mayor very well.

    I like Hamilton, especially his articles about yogurt.

      You kind of have to like him to keep coming to this site. He is about 50% of the Gawker articles these days.

      His life story is definitely worthy of a hip-hop musical.

    Let’s be real here. If you had tickets to Hamilton, you wouldn’t cancel either. Circumstances be damned.

      I don’t really care for musicals, but is Hamilton ‘that’ good? (I’ll be honest, adding breakdancing to anything makes it better. It’s like quality cheese.)

      It’s crap, and gets love because it’s basically at the right place at the right time.

      Given that “Hamilton” has been acclaimed by good liberals everywhere, you have to imagine Emanuel enjoyed the performance.

      Ahem, they’re “progressives.” Liberals are so 1960s.

        No, no, the vast majority of Hamilton fans ARE liberals, in the Phil Ochs sense.

        Rahm Emanuel may be a 'democrat', but he is absolutely, positively not a liberal or a progressive.

      How is it a scandal for the mayor to do a leisure activity the night after a major event had been concluded? Its not like he went during the strike. The strike was over. Also, telephones are a thing that exists. So does email. It is actually possible in this day and age to you know like talk to people who you work with on the phone while being somewhere else for brief periods of time. You can still be fully engaged.

      I don’t like Rahm any more than the rest of you, but this is realllllly grasping at straws.

      Your headline should be: “Man does unrelated thing after another unrelated thing had also happened.” Because that’s basically all you’ve got.

        I think the socially approved waiting time to experience entertainment after a strike is seven days and seven nights.

        It’s like busting on Obama for watching baseball in Cuba, instead of rushing home to call Europe from DC, like that’s any different.

      Said it before, I’ll say it again: Hamilton is so corny it could host a teen dance show in late ‘50s-early ‘60s Bawlmer. Save your money and get Cup Playoff tickets (to either the Gers or the Isles, you can’t go wrong with either team) if you’re in NY in the next few weeks.

        Are you from “The City That Reads”? Also is this a Hairspray reference? Cuz if so, Emanuel is definitely a Von Tussle.
