Is Rahm Emanuel a Muslim?
God, that would be soooo cool!
The fucking conservatives would shit pickles.
Actually, he's Jewish.
I thought Joe the Plumber, that astute political commentator, said Obama would be the death of Israel. Yet here he goes a picks someone whose father was an Israeli.
Interesting pick, since they disagree a lot. Guess Obama meant when he said he didn't want just yes men surrounding him.
And
Bobby Jr. for the EPA? Hell YEA.
(but not just for the eye candy)
Emanuel has a reputation as a nasty enforcer for the Party in the House, and perhaps that is Obama's thinking here, like Luco Brasi.
Plus, you must remember that the Chief of Staff is traditionally the President's buddy or close associate (i.e. JFK's COS Ken O'Donnell was RFK's College Roommate), because most appointees, despite owing their jobs to the Executive, would desert if the President is marred in a shitstorm. That is why the President needs someone that they
trust personally and privately.
Some argue that a reason for Nixon getting fucked on Watergate was that he didn't have such a true confidant in the White House.
As for RFK Jr/EPA....yeah the liberal Environmentalists will love that. O'Reilly's head will explode too.
