Emanuel Posting Could Mean War with GOP
Pajamas Media ^ | November 6, 2008 | Rick Moran

Paul Begala refers to Rep. Rahm Emanuel’s style as a “cross between a hemorrhoid and a toothache.” His stint as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has been notable for his clashes with DNC Chairman Howard Dean over strategy, resources, and the direction of the party.

A former aide to President Clinton, he was known as “Rahm-bo” among friend and foe alike. Schooled in the rough and tumble of Chicago politics, he was a senior adviser to Richard Daley’s successful 1989 mayoral bid

Friends and enemies agree that the key to Emanuel’s success is his legendary intensity.

There’s the story about the time he sent a rotting fish to a pollster who had angered him.

the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president’s enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting “Dead! … Dead! … Dead!” and plunging the knife into the table after every name. “When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape,” one campaign veteran recalls. “It was like something out of The Godfather. But that’s Rahm for you.”

I hope so. The GOP needs to either fight, for once, or die, forever.

Obama is building a dictatorship. Do not be fooled with his empty rhetoric, they are just words, just speeches. His goal is total dictatorship

I do hope so. The GOP NEEDS to CLEAN its house or be doomed to fade into history.

Rush said today is was a smart move, the Arabs will have to think twice and will be pissed.

Dr. Savage said the move now makes him a Clinton type of politician.

Rahmbo will go after talk radio hard.

Hmmm, what is it about clinton goons and dead fish. Sounds like what Pellicano did when he made his threats. (Still wondering why that debunker of the Jennifer Flowers tape had C-4 in his safe.)

First, we need to give this guy a nickname, like Rahm the Hammer - that’s the first step in going after this guy ...

Rahm Emanuel was a Freddie Mac board member

Obama is rewarding people who played a part in this Economic Crisis and Recession

Wait til the libs push for DC voting rights and the GOP appeals to the courts, we're going to see another "Blacksteal Day" (apologies to the French)
