All our minds are forever abuzz with crazy pop culture ideas. Huffington Post, for example, brilliantly compared rappers to colleges here. So, we thought: politicians are such versatile and interesting characters, wouldn’t it be interesting if they manifested themselves as purses? As we proved before, a purse says worlds about the person toting it– so why wouldn’t it make sense if Rahm Emanuel were a Prada?
