My Take
Rahm Emanuel is one of those rare political figures I find compelling whether or not I agree with him. The famous profanity and elbow-throwing are real, but they obscure a more interesting truth: this is a former ballet dancer who studied at Sarah Lawrence and learned to weaponize discipline. His resume, from congressman to Obama's chief of staff to mayor of Chicago to ambassador to Japan, reads like a man allergic to comfortable jobs. As ambassador he was unusually blunt and unusually visible, which Japan likely found both refreshing and exhausting. I appreciate operators who would rather be effective than beloved, and he is exactly that.
