'Rahm's Not Attending Press Conferences Because He's Receiving Death Threats'

Which would be the more heavily-guarded place to be for a political figure who's received death threats?:

a. A school concert in a public venue. b. A press conference in the company of the President-elect of the United States of America.

If you answered 'b,' you're thinking like me and presumably most people. If you answered 'a,' you're A.B. Stoddard. The associate editor of "The Hill" newspaper offered up her strange excuse for Rahm Emanuel's failure to attend press conferences with Pres.-elect Obama in the course of an MSNBC appearance this afternoon during which she also claimed that "President-elect Obama is taking steps to be as forthcoming and as open and as transparent as he promised he would be."

Death threats from who? The Chicago Godfather?

Poor baby!

Recall Ken Starr and how LIBERALS hounded him right outside his house and he NEVER complained about death threats. YOu know darn well he received them.

MSM in spin cycle for Obama ping to Today show list.

PS: it’s just coincidence, but note how Emanuel seems to be gesturing “get a load of her” in the screencap!

[nmh]

Probably from the Obomination.

Shut up or else ... .

Death Threats? No....maybe threats from his transition White House lawyer that his ass is gonna be butt pirate bait in prison if he screws this coverup up!

I think Rahm has officially jumped the shark... or in this case, gotten thrown under the bus.

[MississippiMan]

I wasn’t aware that one needed to “take steps in order to be” honest and transparent. Seems to me you just do it. Or you don’t.

Rahm, meet Grandma....Grandma, meet Rahm....er...wait a minute....she done dead.

If he is receiving death threats they are probably not as serious as when he worked as Clintons man who pursued and destroyed the lives of the young ladies who were brave enough to tell of his affairs. (Chicago political experience made him a natural for the job.)

[NCnodeLOGICBOMB]

Someone needs to ask if he filed a police report.

[cripplecreek]

I would think he would be getting secret service protection too.

[Tarpon]

LOL — Democrats always get death threats when their dauber gets stuck in it.

[Deaf Smith]

Horse head in his bed?

[I see my hands]

He's acting guilty. HA! He's up to 40mg Ambien, easy.

[Gay State Conservative]

Geeze...you'd think that his lawyer could come up with a more plausible explanation than *that* for him!

[NutmegDevil]

Rahm Emanuel is a snitch/informant and should fear for his life. I believe he told Fitzgerald about the bribe/deal demanded by Blago/his gang.

[RummyChick]

You could be right

That's not something you "take steps to be". That's something that either you are or you aren't. He isn't.

If he’s getting death threats, they are from HIS friends. The rest of us can afford to wait it out... I imagine, after reading about his close acquaintances, he has reasons to be afraid. What goes around, comes around.
