Chicago -- the same town that Obama slithered out of -- has not been too kind to the family of Rahm "Lil' Tink" Emanuel.

It seems that Rahm's kid (a senior in high school) stepped outside the mayor's residence and across the street to make a phone call, and that's when two men layeth the smacketh down on the spawn of Rahm.

No truth to the rumor that Rahm was going to wear his "Nutcracker" getup to chase the two offending thugs down, but they did manage to bloody his kid's lip, as well as chipped his tooth.

While I have sympathy for anyone that's a victim of 2 on 1 crime, what's a kid doing leaving the house and going across the street at 10pm just to make a phone call?

I'm sorry, but this story did make me smile. I know it's wrong, but "The sins of the father" and all. Liberalism is coming home to roost in the mayor's own house!

I'm just sitting wondering if I've ever used the word "crestfallen"?

Oh yeah because with a Republican mayor Chicago's problems will evaporate.

No reason for a teen or anyone to receive a beat down for going outside.

No description of the attackers was reported.

How can anyone tell the Cops if there is no description?

Yeah, I always smile when I hear about a teenager getting beaten in the street, too. Funny stuff, right?

SMH in disgust at what some people think is amusing.

Don't like the father at all, but sorry to hear that his son was the victim of a crime. He's just a kid.

I smiled when the 'teen' Mike Brown's criminal career came to an untimely end too.

I found that a bit odd, too. It was on the North Side of Chicago, so I think it's safe to rule out Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and one of his cohorts.

Imagine, however, how awful it would be if it turned out to be two black kids. Obama would probably STILL use his usual line of "If I had a son, he would look like _______".

Hopefully it wasn't the Obama girls that gave the beatdown to the Rahmspawn. THAT would be unbelievably awkward.


Even the Chicago Sin Tribune is sketchy on details:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel's 17-year-old son robbed near North Side home | Chicago

Rahm is a radically liberal, radically leftist politician.

Liberalism is pro-government, pro-force, pro-redistribution.

Liberalism is a religious like faith in the virtue of politicians to force their way on everyone to "improve" society.
