WASHINGTON. D.C. – Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”
“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”
Last month, Politico reported that Emanuel had “launched a coordinated effort to jam” Senator Kyl and other Administration critics… “[A]fter seeing Kyl and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) again paint the legislation as a failure on Sunday talk shows, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel directed that the letters from the Cabinet secretaries be sent to [Governor] Brewer, according to two administration officials.”

La Gloria Cubana...I’ve been smoking those since Ernie was making them in a little shop on Calle Ocho.
Corleone was fictional. Emmanuel is the real thing.
One of my all-time favorite internet images! I use it when mere words cannot express sheer awesomeness. LOL!
Issa is also initiating the investigation into ACORN.

Pantywaist Emmanuel is only “tough” in the world of thug politics.
I guaran-damn-tee you he had his ass kicked all the time when he was growing up.
His motivation in life is probably to get even with people who beat his ass.
Sawed-off little sh*t.
Rahm deserves nothing less than a prison sentence. I want to see this evil, evil man(and his sick brother) removed from OUR WH, as much as I want to see Obama removed and impeached.
They are turning our country into a marxist hellhole!
WOW!!
I agree. Why isn't he the minority leader? Plus, I've heard a number of interviews with him over the years, and he's a much more effective and compelling speaker than Boehner - who's a nice guy and a good conservative, but is in way over his head.
