If CNN’s Fareed Zakaria is the proverbial blind squirrel, then “terribly run” Democratic cities are his nut. On the Overtime segment of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Zakaria confronted former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s attempt to dodge Maher’s question of why the current mayor has an approval rating of 6.6 percent.
Maher simply wondered, “What’s going on in Chicago?”
Emanuel gave a long, rambling non-answer that first tried to say Chicago wasn’t alone, as if that made it better, “Look, I mean, this is, we were talking about this a little earlier. I mean, you have also, the mayor of New York not doing well, obviously other things also here in Los Angeles, not doing well, the mayor here. Look, and then you got mayors, like the mayor of San Francisco and other cities that are doing well.”
