Rahm Emanuel 2005 Roast on C-SPAN

Last Friday evening I got sucked into this often funny roast of Rahm Emanuel on C-SPAN from three years ago that included a number of the Chicago political class (or those with Chicago roots) that are in our national leadership today: Barack Obama, Rahm course, David Axelrod, Hillary Clinton, William Daley (brother and son of Chicago mayors; was in Clinton's admin). Chris Dodd was there as well. I'm not a big fan of Emanuel, but it was interesting to see all these figures together at a lighter event and before the momentous campaign.

1 hr 50 min, but a summary: Dodd at the beginning is funny. Obama about half way through has some good lines and one very good one. Daley and Emanuel later have rapid fire jokes.

See it here.
