Sun-Times...

Rahm Emanuel was thrown off the ballot for mayor of Chicago today by an appellate court panel, a stunning blow to the fund-raising leader in the race.

An appellate panel ruled 2-1 that Emanuel did not meet the residency standard to run for mayor.

Appellate judges Thomas Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall ruled against Emanuel. Justice Bertina Lampkin voted in favor of keeping President Obama’s former chief of staff on the Feb. 22 ballot.

“It’s a surprise,” said Kevin Forde, the attorney who argued on Emanuel’s behalf.

Mosley-Braun will keep up a proud Chicago tradition - she's as crooked (at least with her taxes and her campaign funds) as the day is long.

She was actually senator for one term till Illinois got tired of her ass after six years and bounced her.

Now Chicago gets to reap what they've sown.
