Life Underground: Since Blago scandal broke, Rahm Emanuel has disappeared
Republican Liberty Caucus ^ | 1/5/209 | Historicus and Publicola

Rahm Emanuel is now on the political equivalent of the missing person’s list. Since his name emerged as one of the players in the “pay to play” corruption allegations against Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) last month, Emanuel has rarely been seen, and hasn’t been heard from at all, except to perfunctorily submit a letter to Speaker Pelosi, and resign his House seat, so he can take the position of White House chief of staff in the forthcoming Obama administration.

But, it’s really no wonder why Emanuel has chosen to live his life underground. According to published reports, Emanuel is caught on tape an astounding 21 times by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Patrick Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald’s wiretaps have yet to be released, but, political insiders in Chicago are speculating that the tapes paint a sordid portrait of Emanuel. Not that he’s been discovered to be making an illegal deal with Blago over Obama’s Senate seat. No, the scandal that is poised to emerge from the Emanuel tapes has to do with his foul character. “What is now called the Silence of the Rahm has developed, with a cocoon of muteness that has descended upon Cong. Rahm Emanuel, who has been slated to be Obama’s chief-of-staff,” writes noted political commentator, Thomas Roeser, in a recent column. “What worries the Obama media people is not that Rahm is caught on tape with Blago and staff a full 21 times — but that Emanuel’s propensity for four-letter words will be revealed and cause a distinct toxic shock to idealists who believe Obama will bring a wafting air of clean breeze to politics.”

Roeser speculates that if the tapes are as bad as Obama’s media people believe, then Rahm may “have to be tossed by the Messiah under...

Can't wait until this thug is ousted...this administration is embroiled in multiple scandals before it even takes office. That's some "change."

He’s a total thug, along with Axelrod and Ayers, but don’t get your hopes up. None of them will be ousted. They’re Bambi’s brains (the poor suntanned sap has spent a lifetime trying to figure out who he was and what he was here for and where he was going and who he could use to get there...well, you get the idea) and he can’t afford to let them go.

OTOH the CHicago THuggery seems to be from or have ties to Syria, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Iran,...

Rahm alone represents Isreal....and actually haven’t been able to tie him into any of the scandals that the others seem to be involved in....real estate/banking/medical

Read what we’ve collected on the Chicago Crime Scene here: (feel free to add anything you might find on Rahm or ping me to it)

Perhaps there will be another air plane crash with an unexplained 45 caliber wound to Raum’s head!

"Life Underground: Since Blago scandal broke, Rahm Emanuel has disappeared".

You mean the guy who sends dead rotten fish in brown wrapper to people has suddenly vanished from the scene?

"In between his stints in Washington, Emanuel got rich working as an investment banker. He once sat on the board of Freddie Mac and recuses himself from any Congressional votes on the mortgage giant."

"Has been known to send out cheesecakes from Eli's Bakery in Chicago to campaign donors and the many Democratic candidates he has recruited over the years. Once, when a pollster made him angry, Emanuel sent him a dead fish."

Rahm Emanuel - considering the “smash-mouth, take-no-prisoners, gut-knifing” tactics he has used against the Republicans after 2004, can’t say I have much pity for him. He almost makes the antics of James Carville look like schoolboy pranks.

Item: The Mark Foley “scandal”, that was used to “prove” the Republicans were immersed in a culture of corruption.

Item: Churning the “macaca” remark of George Allen into an example of the “insensitivity” of Republicans. Jim Webb is just, well, perverse. On so many levels.

And now Chuck Schumer is infected with this same deadly ambition to lay snares and point fingers.

Folks, we will just have to hope we can surf this avalanche to the bottom.
