In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here's a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation's capital. And Chicago. We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign. Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer. Shortly after Obama's happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg.

Little “o” is goin’ down...
Ewwwwwwwww. Is she our new Helen Thomas replacement? LOL!
Greenberg's consulting firm was a prime architect of BP's recent rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and the slogan "Beyond Petroleum." Greenberg's company is also closely tied to a sister Democratic outfit -- GCS, named for the last initials of Greenberg, James Carville, another Clinton advisor, and Bob Shrum, John Kerry's 2004 campaign manager. According to published reports, GCS received hundreds of thousands of dollars in political polling contracts in recent years from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Probably just a crazy coincidence. But you'll never guess who was the chairman of that Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee dispensing those huge polling contracts to his kindly rent-free landlord.
Hmmmm. Was this during the same years that Emanuel declared his own house in Chicago the corporate seat of his "Foundation" (a foundation whose only officers and contributors are Emanuel and his wife) thereby taking his home OFF the property tax rolls?
No rent in DC (therby no tax contribution). No taxes in Chicago. Millions $$$ in the bank. Some people know how to live large.
Eeeks! Is that a woman?
That’s the biggest shock from the article, DeLauro actually has a husband.
Another libtard woman not taking her husband’s last name I see.
Oily Birds make strange Bedfellows
LA Times? WOW!
Just what I was thinking. She has got to be the ugliest woman in DC at least on the outside.
I think I’d rather look at a pic of Helen Thomas than that thing.
Checked all other major outlets, nothing yet.
Thanks, Liz
I think Rush was talking about this over a week ago. (Pretty sure I heard it on Rush’s show.)
Is that a picture of Rosa or Stanley???
The entire Jack Squat Barry administration, to include Jack Squat himself, should be thuroughly investigated for possible criminal activities...all of them.
OK, let’s connect the dots for all the sheeple.
1.BP is Obama’s biggest Doner
2.Obama Chief of Staff is provided a RENT FREE apartment by a BP Advisor
3. BP gets preferential treatment by the EPA and is exempted from inspections on the Deepwater Horizon well.
4. Deepwater horizon blows out.
IOW, a Quid Pro Quo if I have ever seen one.
What is her nationality? I used to know a Greek woman who could be her twin.
“Ewwwwwwwww. Is she our new Helen Thomas replacement? LOL!”
I think she is definitely in the running!
Post#17: Zakeet, please give a warning before you post something like that! That frightened me! :)
