Oh, F*ck Yeah: @MayorEmanuel Gets a Book Deal
The parody Twitter account @MayorEmanuel, launched during Rahm Emanuel‘s bid for mayor of Chicago, is getting a book deal.
Dan Sinker, a college professor at Columbia College, revealed himself to be the author of the account to Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic last month. The account began with a few profanity-laced tweets before turning into maybe the greatest campaign story ever told, finally culminating in Emanuel’s win on February 22, as @MayorEmanuel was sucked into a “MOTHERF–KING TIME VORTEX” and had to say his goodbyes to recurring characters Quaxelrod, Carl the Intern, and Hambone.
