Note how he inadvertently acknowledges his lifelong dream wasn’t to become mayor of Chicago, as was asserted during his campaign; he didn’t want the chief of staff job because he was on the fast track to his real dream, which was to become Speaker of the House.

Note too how Rahm doesn’t really dispute anything specifically about the story, he just issues a general blanket denial that doesn’t tell us what exactly isn’t true – he wasn’t naked, he wasn’t at the gym that day, I mean, what?
