Rahm Emanuel is now on the political equivalent of the missing persons 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 hasnt 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, its 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. Fitzgeralds wiretaps have yet to be released, but, political insiders in Chicago are speculating that the tapes paint a sordid portrait of Emanuel. Not that hes been discovered to be making an illegal deal with Blago over Obamas 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 Obamas 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 Emanuels 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 Obamas media people believe, then Rahm may have to be tossed by the Messiah under...

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.
So ANyone for a game of “Where in the World is Rahm Emanual”?
Is Rahm still on safari? Perhaps he will be eaten by a Lion.

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."

Sonny: What the hell is this?
Pete Clemenza: It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
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.
He’s over in Africa and anyplace else in the world covering up Obama’s birth certificate fraud.
