Paul Begala refers to Rep. Rahm Emanuels 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 Daleys successful 1989 mayoral bid
Friends and enemies agree that the key to Emanuels success is his legendary intensity.
Theres 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 presidents 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 thats Rahm for you.

How about Rahm-rod.
So less flattering.
And Emanuel signals that Obama will rule with Chicago style politics. Stand in their way and they will use any and all government power to destroy you.
Clinton retreads: Change we can believe in.
It’s called fascism
They need to move back to the right and present a clear contrast to the socialist ‘Rats. McCain’s biggest problem was he promised change and he promised an end to earmarks and he promised smaller government yet not 3 weeks before the election he voted for the biggest pork barrel spending in history.
McCain only offered socialism lite. I heard a commentator say that the government had to be careful not to overpay for the truly worthless mortgages. If they are truly worthless, then one cent is overpaying, isn’t it?
I like Rahm-rod, or Rahmney.
A real douchebag like that might be coaxed into doing something really stupid.
No.
He’s there to keep the Dems in Congress in line.
The GOP is no threat to him

WOW...what insane behavior!! From this account I have to assume he’s too far gone for any psychological/psychiatric counseling, drug therapy, and/or shock treatment to help.
And the guy who made the nonchalant statement excusing the behavior - can’t say I blame him. He should hightail it away from those crazies as fast as he can.
Dead! Dead! Dead! and plunging the knife into the table after every name.
ohhhh he’s vewwwwy vewwwwy scawwwy. Pretty boy Rahmmy’s gonna tell his mommy on us and say scawwy things because he thinks he’s a big boy!
Rahm the Limp Hammer who acts like a Big Dick.
We need to prepare for the coming revolution. Once Obamanation creates his dictatorship, the rest of the US will wake up to the truth. The revolt cannot start until it has the full backing of the People of the US. BO will reveal his true nature very soon. I saw it in his face on his acceptance speech. He is the worst thing that has ever happen in this planet, worse than Hitler, Stalin, Polpot, Edi Amin, all of them
I don't think Obama himself is smart enough to be a dictator. He needs advisors like Emmanuel to tell him what to do.
Rahmen Noodle?
I think this guy is calculating and devious.
He’s too deep-down dumb for that.
“Rahm Emanuel was a Freddie Mac board member
Obama is rewarding people who played a part in this Economic Crisis and Recession”
We can expect the watchdog media to warn the American public of this corruption any day now - right after they finish gossiping about Sarah Palin.
How about CD Rahm ( Culture of Death )
