So who’s gonna “repair the world” if Emanuel has to “spend more time with the family”?

hmm. Interesting. Rahm just might have to resign.

That's not good.

His other politics aside, Rahm Emanuel has flat out said that getting rid of Saddam was a good thing.

Even though he was not in Congress during the war vote and even after WMD's were not found in Iraq, Rahm Emanuel did not engage in your typical political CYA cowardice. When asked if, knowing what we know now, he would have voted for the war, Rahm Emanuel replied:

"I still believe that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do, OK?"

We need a guy like that next to Obama for the next four years to keep Obama from snatching defeat in Iraq out of the jaws of victory and to keep Obama from getting played like a cheap fiddle by Iran.

If they didn’t get the goods on ol Rahm, perhaps it will send a chill up and down the spine of him and his dealings, as well as other “dealmakers”. And if they did get the goods on him, and want to continue to investigate him, it would seem like they may have probable cause to extend the extent of their wiretapping, perhaps within the oval office......either way, it sure is nice to see the crooks quivering for once.

As usual the Brit papers have RAHM pegged while our papers are still shilling for the Obamanauts.

Thought this was a strange story for the Times to run then noticed that it is the UK Times. Should have known our press would not be this quick to print the obvious. The American press is still in the coverup defensive lawyer mode.

“Okay...How did Rahm lose his middle finger? “

He was giving Billy Jeff a prostate check and BJ made a left turn!

“When you are Rahm Emanuel and you use the f-word all the time, it is supposed to be cute and amusing,” Norquist said. “When the governor of Illinois gets caught, people say, ‘Oh, he’s crazy’, and the proof that he is crazy is that he talks like Rahm Emanuel.”

I don’t talk to people that cuss, and it is not “cute”.

What is WRONG with these People in Chicago..I get their liberal, but can’t they at at least semi-decent!!? (No offense to any Chico Freepers ;))!

If good old Rahm doesn’t resign, they Repubicans can beat that drum for the next 4 years. And if he DOES resign, they can STILL bring it up!!

But they won't. It would be too ... impolite. Almost like showing aggression. No. No. It just isn't cricket for the GOP. Sorry. Maybe you meant someone else?

"That’s not the Rahm Emmanuel I knew!"

Rahm, "I never had sex with, er, talked to the Illinois Governor. Hell, I don't even know him."

Hey Zer0, How are you hanging in there with the big boys? How's your smoking and facial tics coming along? Enjoy your ride. The fun is just beginning.

Hopefully, the Gov will not resign and stay on to $crew, er serve his voters. Hopefully, this will last longer in the media, than the Fitzy/Armitage/Powell/Plame/CIA sideshow did.

Rahm, "I never had sex with, er, talked to the Illinois Governor. Hell, Obama and I don't even know him."

Chicago Team Obama

Hey Zer0, How are you hanging in there with the big boys? How's your smoking and facial tics coming along? Enjoy your ride. The fun is just beginning.
