I wonder what will happen to Rahm when his cellmates find out he’s a ballet dancer.

I am so cynical today. I assumed Obama asked Rahm to make a family excuse, so he could plausibly blow off questions.

To be fair, he participated in the defense of Israel when it was under attack in the first Gulf War.

,i.This country is going to be in deep trouble for a very long time, if not forever.

You did not see any corruption. What you thought was corruption was an alignment of swamp gas, hope and change. Those aren't the droids you're looking for.
Move along.

He went swimming in a cess pool and he came out with crap all over hem. And he was one of Obama’s VERY FIRST PICKS!

Emmanual is going to be in a heap of trouble before this whole Chicago thing is over. What happens when Obama is sworn in? Will all this go away?

Mr. Obama:
Remember. Nixon went down, not because he did anything wrong, but because he covered up for the crimes of his staff.
And so far, you are less "transparent" than Richard Nixon. Although I will grant that you are prettier.

I once met Mr. Emanuel.
It was like shaking hands with a dead carp.

"Le’s hope we don’t get a Wag the Dog crisis to push this whole thing off the radar - it’s been done before Trouble for Obama is, the Tail doesn't get connected to the Dog until January 20th.

At least the Clinton scandals are somewhat known.
Arkansas is not Chicago. The Clintons are small-time compared to the Obama scandals that are waiting to be uncovered.

He hid behind his kids. Yeah, he ran to one of their schools to catch a, ahem, violin recital.
Finally cornered he stated: “In the hopes of clearing my family name, and in the sincere desire to give my children the fair share of the American way of life, without a blemish on their name and background, I have appeared before you and given you all the cooperation in my power. I consider it a great dishonor to me personally to have to deny that I am a criminal.”
I could have sworn I heard that somewhere before.

Looks like O is about to get Rahm Rodded.
