Dumbass.

(CNN) — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel didn’t mince any words Saturday when speaking about Republicans running for the 2012 nomination — calling the group “turkeys.”

He lambasted the front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, for what he called inconsistencies in his record.

“I’ve watched a number of them, and I’ve got to be honest, I never thought I’d say this: I’m beginning to miss Sarah Palin’s insights,” Rahm told a Democratic crowd at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines, Iowa.

“Their debate was called the Thanksgiving Family Forum — which is fitting because I have never seen such a collection of turkeys,” Emanuel said.
