Rhee: Gray’s Win is “Devastating” for D.C. Kids

The National Academy of Sciences

Well, this is tactless:

Vincent C. Gray’s mayoral campaign is responding to comments from Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee that his victory in Tuesday’s election is “devastating for the school children of Washington D.C.”

Traci Hughes, a Gray spokesman, called Rhee’s statement “unfortunate.”

The comments were made last night at the Newseum, where Rhee was on a panel for the premier of “Waiting for Superman“, a documentary in which she is featured. Chancellor Rhee is supposed to meet with Gray next week: “Awkward”, party of two.
