  • Rahm was not happy when a WGN Radio host called him on air at two in the morning

        WGN Radio host Patti Vasquez decided to call Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home phone number live on her show around 2 AM on September 2. He answered the phone and     they spoke very briefly, but he was not pleased—an Emanuel aide called the station the next day to say so. The audio of the call was deleted from WGN’s site, and Vasquez and her producer were suspended for a day. [Robert Feder]
