To: My Favorite Headache

Heard Rove talking to Neil Cavuto about this appointment. According to Rove, Emanuel is a real nasty guy who, as a top advisor to Bill Clinton, would regularly get in the face of Republicans in Congress over their votes on legislation. According to Rove, this wasn’t the job of the President’s advisor, but rather the party chief (Whip?) Rove said there is no love lost between Emanuel and Hillary Clinton, because Emanual forced Hillary’s health care plan to take a back seat to other pressing issues more expedient to Bill’s political future. Rove also said that during last night’s speech, Obama made the claim that he wanted bi-partisanship, but with this appointment, he appears to be going in exactly the opposite direction, because Emanuel is a very partisan person.

Well I wouldn’t fault anyone for trying to get in the way of HillaryCare — Emanuel probably realized the turkey would kill Bill’s re-election hopes.

But I have heard/read many times that Emanuel is a really nasty POS, and one of the most hyper-partisan people around.

Strange, in a former life (20+ years ago) I knew two people who are close to him — not friends of mine, thank heavens, but people whose paths were intersecting with mine for awhile...... but they are both HUGE Demagogues themselves, so they probably think he’s great for the “cause”......
