"And how are we feeling today, sir?"
"Better."
Better, sir??"
"Yeah, better get a bucket. I'm gonna puke!"
And I'm a bit surprised this Rothstein guy would have a Ferrari. Most 'Amish' go for a Mercedes Benz.

MANIFESTATIONS OF WONDER BOY RAHM: GOLDMAN SACHS WATERBOY, CLINTON ADVISOR, WALL STREET MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, CONGRESSMAN, WHITE HOUSE COS
TIMELINE
1992 An interesting early chapter in the Goldman-Emanuel relationship took place in the setting of Bill Clinton’s campaign for the White House in 1992. Clinton hired Emanuel as his chief fundraiser. At the same time, however, Emanuel was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs, receiving $3,000 per month from the firm to “introduce us to people,” in the words of one Goldman partner at the time. This is certainly a noteworthy relationship, but it’s one that has almost entirely escaped scrutiny. During his four terms in Congress, Emanuel has raised $74,750 from Goldman, making the firm his number four source of funds. Goldman has helped Emanuel. How has Emanuel helped Goldman? The most obvious answer, is Emanuel’s lead role in shepherding the “$700 billion” TARP bailout, of which G/S has amply benefited.
Of course, back in the Clinton days, Goldman benefited from NAFTA and the bailout of the Mexican currency, with Emanuel pushing NAFTA through Congress, and Rubin hammering out the peso bailout. Did Goldman improperly funnel money to the Clinton campaign by subsidizing Emanuel’s salary in 1992? Did Goldman’s help to Clinton spur the Democratic president to push NAFTA and the Mexican bailout?
1992 Wonder Boy Emanuel's knowledge of the top donors in the country, and his rapport with potential donors within the Jewish community helped Clinton amass a then-unheard-of sum of $72 million which nailed his victory.
1993 Wonder Boy Emanuel became a senior advisor to Clinton from 1993 to 1998. Emanuel was initially Assistant to the President for Political Affairs and then Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy. Wonder Boy was a leading strategist in the unsuccessful White House efforts to institute universal healthcare and many other Clinton initiatives.
1993 One of Rahm's proudest moments was an event that touched his political sensibilities and his personal ties to Israel: the 1993 Rose Garden signing ceremony after the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Wonder Boy Emanuel directed the details of the ceremony, down to the choreography of the famous handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat."
1998 While official Washington was in the throes of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Wonder Boy Rahm Emanuel, a senior political aide to Pres Bill Clinton, ventured out to an elegant restaurant in Dupont Circle for something of a job interview, The New York Times’s Michael Luo writes.
John Simpson, who ran the Chicago office of the investment banking boutique Wasserstein Perella & Company, had flown to Washington to meet with Mr. Emanuel at the behest of Mr. Simpson’s boss, Bruce Wasserstein, a major Democratic donor and renowned Wall Street dealmaker who had gotten to know Mr. Emanuel. “I had this idea that this could work and that it had upside,” Mr. Wasserstein, now chairman and chief executive of Lazard, the investment bank, told The Times. “It worked out better than I could have hoped.” And better than Mr. Emanuel could have imagined as well.
Over the course of a three-hour-plus dinner, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Emanuel discussed how they might work together. Shortly afterward, Mr. Emanuel accepted an offer, nudging him down what has by now become a well-trodden gilded path out of politics and into the lucrative world of business.
1998 Wonder Boy Rahm resigned his position as an advisor to Bill Clinton, to become a Wall Street investment banker with Wasserstein Perella, (now Dresdner Kleinwort), where Wonder Boy worked until 2002. 1999 Just like that (snaps fingers)----in 1999, Wonder Boy Rahm became managing director at their Chicago office. According to Congressional disclosures, Emanuel made $16.2 million in his 2 1/2 year stint as a Wasserstein Perella banker AND he probably paid all his taxes. Amazingly, Wonder Boy Rahm became a multi-millioniare overnight. At Wasserstein Perella, Rahm worked on eight deals: the acquisition by Commonwealth Edison of Peco Energy; the purchase by GTCR Golder Rauner of the SecurityLink home security unit from SBC.
2002 Wonder Boy Rahm then ran for Congress (successfully, OF COURSE). Luckily (/snic) members of the securities and investment industry became Rahm's biggest backers, donating more than $1.5M up to 2002, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
2006 Rahm also leaned heavily upon the financial industry as 2006 Dem Congressional Campaign Committee Chair. Financial industry donors contributed more than $5.8M to the Dem committee (behind only retirees).
Here's tolerant Wonder Boy expressing his feelings for America on inauguration day.

Rahm's brother, Dr. Emanuel, has received numerous awards....election to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Science and the Association of American Physicians. Hippocrates Magazine selected him as Doctor of the Year in Ethics.....the AMA-Burroughs Welcome Leadership Award, the Public Service Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the John Mendelsohn Award from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and a Fulbright Scholarship (which he declined). Dr. Emanuel served on President Clinton’s Health Care Task Force, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC), and on the bioethics panel of the Pan-American Healthcare Organization. Dr. Emanuel has been a visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, UCLA, the Brin Professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School, and the Kovitz Professor at Stanford Medical School.
OMG---would you believe there's ANOTHER perfect Emanuel brother.....in Hollywood?
LOL!
Talk about bad blood.......
Maybe he thinks Ferraris are made in Berlin?
Yeah---but he KNEW the punishment was 100 lashes with a wet noodle.
When I was a young whippersnapper just out of HS my dream car was this..
a shiny new 1966 Jag XKE Coupe.
Back then it was *only* $6,600.00 (iirc), but a bit out of reach for a Draftsman Trainee making $2.25 per hour.
So I bought a new Suzuki Motorcycle for $400.00 instead :-)
He ate the noodle........
Not to worry---when the subject of ObamaCare Death
Panels came up, Zeke was spit-shining his penny loafers.
p.s. Former crook sheriff Ken Jenne also connected to this guy.
I has a 1965 Honda CB160. Black/Silver I was 12 at the time.(We lived in the country, and the cops didn’t care).
IIRC, the Suzuki looked similar, chrome gas tank, etc.
Obama hater: “ I wish I was dead!”
Zeke: “ You wanna be dead? “
I always liked the XKE too. There will probably be a couple of them at the Barret-Jackson auction in January.......going for around $50,000......
Mine was 150cc and Black/Silver too. And yes the Hondas and Suzukis looked a lot alike back then. A buddy of mine (he's 2yrs older) had a Honda like yours. The bike had 'pep' and he zoomed around the 'hood' so I figured 150cc would be good enough for me.
The only reason I got a Suzuki was the Dealer was on the street my Bus took and passed it on the way to work. So it was just a matter of convenience.
There actually WERE good ol days!
Yes. they sure were.
