Liberal Attack Dogs: Rep. Rahm Emanuel and Sen. Charles Schumer

July 6, 2006 – The Los Angeles Times’ July 5, 2006 edition featured an article about the tactics used by two powerful Democrats to attack the Bush Administration to regain control of the House or Senate in November.

The article describes the behind the scenes work of Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), head of the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

According to the Times, both men “have deployed tactics reminiscent of the smoke-filled room of yore. They have hand-picked candidates, crafted campaign themes, set fundraising goals and micromanaged staff hiring decisions for candidates around the country.”

The Times notes of Emanuel, “Emanuel’s reputation for political ruthlessness earned him the nickname ‘Rahmbo,’ an image reinforced by a legendary episode when he sent a dead fish to a pollster who displeased him.” Emanuel has also worked for Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and served as a senior aide to President Bill Clinton.

Senator Schumer is described as a dogged fundraiser and overbearing in how he operates. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Schumer has been a relentless critic of President Bush’s judicial nominees.

Something tells me that so much as one dollar of the Big Fella’s money sticking to Guzik’s fingers would have gotten Ol’ Jake a one-way ride.......

The GOP has become the political equivalent of Fredo.

GOP: Send the GOP off to do this! Send the GOP off to do that! Let the GOP take care of some Mickey Mouse state house somewhere! Send the GOP to pick some ambassador up at the airport. I'm the Party of Government, and I was stepped over!

Don Obama: That's the way the Media wanted it.

GOP: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says, like dumb! I'm smart and I want respect!

I just hope the GOP doesn’t take up the Rat’s invitation to go fishing.
