Rahm gave (half) a middle finger... it was a muted response....

[parisa]

Truly its stunning to think what creatures are running the country at its highest level!!!

[Doogle]

...nothing new with this group.

--In describing the episode — a chance encounter outside the House gym — Mr. Issa smirked and raised his middle finger.

--“That’s the only thing Rahm did when he saw me,” Mr. Issa, a California Republican, boasted in an interview in his House office. He waved the unfriendly digit in the air like a trophy before folding it into a nub (to mimic Mr. Emanuel, who lost part of his finger in a long-ago meat-cutting accident).

Say what you will about Rahm Emanuel, but at least you know where he stands. He won’t smile in your face while he’s stabbing you in the back.

It got cut off in shop class and left him virtually speechless...

[databoss]

I’d break that finger in half...

[Darksheare]

Captain Squishy Weasel would do that, yes.

[Tigerized]

“It got cut off in shop class and left him virtually speechless...”

Best response so far! LOL!

With every new low Mr. Dead Fish hits, I just imagine him in his tutu and it brightens my day. He’s almost as much fun as Barney Frank...

This article is screwed. It says Issa gave Rahm the finger and folded it down to mock Rahm's missing finger. Who gave who what--or did they exchange fingrs in the air?

Just following the lead of his lewd, crude kenyan boss.

My bet is it was during a meat PULLING incident.

How many times did we see BO rub his face with his middle finger during speeches in the 2008 election?
I think it was more than twice, and “his audience” laughed and applauded him for it.
I knew then he is just a low class bum! What world leader does such things in public? He shows no respect for our country because he has no self respect.

[Constitution Day]

LOL!

[Lee'sGhost]

He could do a great “picking his nose” gag with that finger.

Good to finally know he has an actual talent, albeit an accidental one.

[pnh102]

With all due respect to Rep. Issa, so what? Real men don’t complain about crap like this. Tell him to go have sex with with himself next time.

[Sub-Driver]

he did it last week whining about Boehner......

Now we know what happened to Rahm's finger (left). Issa says Emanuel gave it to him.

Actually for years, Rahm says he lost the tip of his finger in action against the enemy while he was in an Israeli tank. Rahm, a dual citizen, was a volunteer for “Sar’el”——the three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program, wherre he worked on brake components for APC’s and tanks in an IDF motor pool.

Later on, when he was running for office (in the US), Rahm claimed he injured the finger at work, on a meat slicer. It became infected, and had to be removed, Rahm said.

[Gothmog]

Why is Emanuel always hanging around the House gym? First Massa, now Issa. Does Rahm like lurking around the locker with guys too much?

[Liz]

Rahm shows what he thinks about America
(standing on the Capitol steps Inauguration Day).
