Priorities

With Hurricane Issac set to wreak havoc across parts of the Gulf, the nattering idiots on the left insisted the Republicans cancel parts of their convention (or the entire thing) for....well, no one ever did nail down why. Maybe it was for the children or something.

Now you have Rahm running off to the DNC while all sorts of disasters take place across Chicago:

• Despite the threat of Chicago’s first teachers strike in 25 years, Mayor Rahm Emanuel still plans to attend the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and deliver an impassioned defense of his former boss, President Barack Obama.

That's not even mentioning the lack of a police contract, no fire contract, a murder rate that's still 30% above last year and over 150 shootings ahead of last year.

But 9.5's focus has always been the national stage - Chicago is a stop over, a distraction. And as Rahm so aptly demonstrates day after day, a body count doesn't really bother him, whether it's minority youth or Unions. He couldn't care less if he tried.
