Test: Sweet home, Chicago

Big Government has posted a fascinating video showing two local Chicago television reporters who took it upon themselves to protect former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel from questions about the stimulus and his decision to run for mayor of the Windy City.

When WIND Radio host William Kelly asks Emanuel, “There are a lot of people that speculate that the stimulus was just a payback to your Wall Street friends that made you a multi, multi-millionaire?” and “Have you been able to straighten our your residency?” ABC7 political reporter Charles Thomas tells Kelly to “go away.”
