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.”

No joke? Conservatives had better get their ass in gear, or the train will be long gone from the station before they know what happened.
RAHMEN NOODLE!
Frankly, there's no reason to be afraid of Rahm ~ he's just another Democrat puke ~ no morals, no heart, no economic sense, just anger management problems.
My favorite thing about Sarah Palin is that her first job was to go after the corrupt bastards in her own party.
Howe about a Christmas carol parody? I’ll start, you pick it up from there:
Oh Rahm, O Rahm Ema—nu-el,...
Psycho-boy?
NAFTA Rahm
People will rise up and take charge before that ever happens.
I hope you are right. As of now, most people have become apathetic
“Rahmbo will go after talk radio hard.”
He’ll walk into the barn to find the horse gone. The internet is the overlord.
I was at an American Legion last night and there was only one Obama supporter in there. He caught a lot of flack too.
He’s not Orthodox. He is conservative. And he’s a bad mothershutyomouth. He’s meshugga
How can anyone think otherwise? Obama will solidify his position using the levers of the WH. He will try to eradicate as much of the GOP as possible. It is his MO. Destroy the opposition and run virtually unopposed. Emanuel will target GOP seats in Congress as well as state offices and use the politics of personal destruction to eliminate the GOP office holders. The Dems have a huge and well funded grassroots operation. It will steamroll the Reps.
Rahm-bo is good enough for a nickname. We don’t need a new one.
I can imagine. one lone fascist in the midst of Americans
No, he's "Modern Orthodox," a member of Congregation 'Anshei-Shalom Benei-Yisra'el in Chacago.
Interestingly, last night Wikipedia had a page on this congregation with a link to their official web page. Now it's disappeared. Hmmm.
Rahm Emanuel is also an enthusiastic supporter of the United States Public Service Academy Act, a lobbying group founded in 2006 in order to promote the foundation of an American public service academy modeled on the military academies - a youth corps whose students would be trained in “civilian internship in the armed forces”.
Anyone reminded of Hitler Youth?
“this is scaring me absolutely to death!!”
Seriously sweetheart its time for us to battle - did you really think that freedom wasnt free. No more easy life sometimes our hand is forced and we must rise to the occassion. This is your opportunity to rise - IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME...LETS GET STARTED - WHAT DO YOU SAY?
As far as I’m concerned, please go to he$$... next?
Apathy is one of satan’s greatest tools. It’s all over the church...
