Endeavor Agency's Ari Emanuel talks several times a day to his brother, U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who is masterminding the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's midterm elections. There's a well-reported piece on Rahm in today's Washington Post (Fighting For The Spoils) that mentions Ari. "They all play to win, those Emanuel boys. Rahm (left) is the middle son of three. His big brother, Ezekiel, is a Harvard oncologist and bioethicist. Younger brother Ari (below) is a high-flying agent in Los Angeles. He made news recently as the only major agent to publicly call for an industrywide shunning of Mel Gibson following the actor's drunken, anti-Semitic tirade. Their baby sister, Shoshana, is a student. Yes, the folks are mighty proud, Rahm says. How many mothers have two children who have partly inspired TV characters (Josh Lyman on The West Wing for Rahm, Ari Gold on Entourage for Ari)? 'People ask me what my mother put in the soup,' says Ari, who talks with Rahm two or three times a day. 'I wish I knew. I have three boys of my own.' Their father is a Jerusalem-born pediatrician who came to the United States after working for the pre-independence Israeli underground. In Chicago, he met Emanuel's mother, an X-ray technician and daughter of a local union organizer who ended up in more than one paddy wagon as a protester in the 1960s. 'Politics and the civil rights movement were very much a part of our family life," says Ezekiel. "We went on Martin Luther King's march on Cicero with my mom.'" After November 7th, Rahm will move to Hollywood and help mastermind the "freeing" of clients from Endeavor's rival agencies. Just kidding.
Probably in a loving way, yes.
Perhaps treason is genetic.
LOL!!!

OCTOBER 30, 2008 : (REPORT : OBAMA CAMPAIGN INTERESTED IN RAHM EMANUEL FOR WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF? — See BROTHER ARI EMANUEL {see MICHAEL MOORE’S DOCUMYTH “FAHRENHEIT 911”}; COMMON CAUSE; DALEY; MOB) WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s campaign has approached Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel about possibly serving as White House chief of staff, officials said Thursday as the marathon presidential race entered its final, frenzied stretch with a Democratic tilt. The disclosure came as Republican John McCain, in need of a comeback, focused on pocketbook issues amid fresh signs of a recession. “Ohio is hurting now, people in Ohio are having trouble staying in their homes, keeping their jobs,” he said as he set out on a two-day bus tour of the state.

All, this is the man, Rahm Emanuel, whom Obama has approached to be his chief of staff. If you have time please reread this thread. It has a pretty good history of my Rabid Congress Critter.
For future reference-Rahm's bi-partisanship:
