Running together two opening paragraphs from The Hill, "Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appears poised to take on a high-profile ambassadorship for President Biden, a step likely to trigger contention with progressives who’ve balked at him taking a Cabinet role. Emanuel is the front-runner to be Biden’s nominee as ambassador to Japan, sources familiar with the matter told The Hill."

Not thinking much of the man, the link exists, and readers can read.

He was Obama's hatchet man; and a big part of the Obama be-less-than-you-might-be presidency. Mediocre as a big city mayor. Suspect in a foreign relations post. Bad choice. Another Neera Tanden kind of brainfart by Biden. Paying off some kind of political IOU he held on Biden, who knows, but far from being a good choice.

Hopefully Biden draws away from Emanuel. Likely he will not. End of post.
