Chicago's Better Government Association got hold of previously undisclosed 2,700 pages of personal email accounts of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

They also show media folks trying to work him, including Wolf Blitzer and Mika Brzezinski.

While Blitzer is trying to get an interview for The Situation Room, signing off, "Love to the family," Brzezinski is going to bat for her artist mother. She references the head of the Chicago Park District, Mike Kelly, and its chief of arts initiatives, Mike Dimitroff.

"Apparently, my mother's sculpture has been crossed off the Chicago Parks Department short list! This is disappointing news. All of this happened after a visit by Mike Kelly to her studio, a trip by her publicist to meet with Mike Dimitroff and Mike Kelly and survey the spaces available in the city, all the while receiving reassuring signs that this project would go through.

Lack of funding is not an excuse as we both know there are avenues to secure money."

"Could you please help put this train back on the tracks for me so she can take advantage of the momentum currently building up around her work?"

"This week we had a wonderful ribbon cutting for her monumental bronze Lament (pics below). Couldn't you see a piece like this along your trails?"

"Hoping you can do something."
