Stinky The Clown

I see posts from time to time wondering about Avenatti's politics. Not to worry.

He is a Democrat. He has been for a long time. As a young man, he cut his teeth in Rahm Emanual's OpoRes shop in Chicago. That is no place for snowflakes or creampuffs. He has worked many campaigns for many candidates at all levels. He worked Joe Biden's Senate race.

This goes back to the early 90s when Rahm ran a firm called the Research Group and was making a name for himself as a ferociously persistent political fund-raiser who did things like send a dead fish to an adversary along with a hand-written note that said: "It's been awful working with you. Love, Rahm."

That's right—Sam Cecola, the Admiral's owner, tells me he just finalized arrangements with Stormy to appear at three live shows in June at the theater at 3940 W. Lawrence.
And as part of that extravaganza, Rahm Emanuel and Donald Trump will be taking the stage with Stormy
Ok it's guys in masks but should be funny ...

so naturally I assumed he was on our side. Also, you can tell that he really enjoys appearing with LO and Joy, as opposed to other anchors who are more geared towards entertainment.
