Rahm Emanuel: GOP's Motto Is "Ask What Your Government Can Do For Our Party" (flashback)

Talking Points Memo ^ | April 24, 2007 | Greg Sargent

- snip - "I’ve also always recognized that there is a balance; that we should never allow the basic functions and solemn responsibilities of government to be subjugated to or take a backseat to politics or party interests."

-snip- "Not since the days of Watergate, when our judicial system and intelligence community were deployed by the White House in the service of partisan politics, have we seen such abuses. And in many ways, what we have seen from this administration is far more extensive than that scandal."

-snip- "Recently, even those who had become somewhat inured to the intense partisanship of this Administration were shocked by the political manipulation of our U.S. Attorneys."

Flashback to Emanuel's scolding of the GOP. This is like a prostitute teaching children about safe sex.

[Ron Jeremy]

Of course, these guys are monster hypocrites. But, the underlying charge has power because the GOP did in fact decide to abandon all principles and try to use the gov’t to ensure a permenant GOP majority.. thus guaranteeing a Dem majority.

This is OK let these bozos use the same Clinton techniques they used back in the 90's. Everybody got REALLY sick of it.

0bama is not Clinton, and the mirage the DBM has created will crunmble faster than everyone thinks.

SO my guess is the DNC’s handle is,"bend over and enjoy being screwed or we'll destroy you".

what a pompous ass this turd is.

Has anyone else been struck by the gross discrepancy between the allegations made in the actual bill of particulars? How about the discrepancy between the proof adduced and the reaction of the readers?

Here is what Rahm Emanuel had to say about the Valerie Plame matter:

And when former-ambassador Joseph Wilson cast doubt on the Administration’s contention that Saddam was trying to obtain uranium in Niger for a nuclear weapon, Cheney’s chief of staff, “Scooter” Libby, embarked on a smear campaign by leaking the identity of Wilson’s wife, an undercover CIA officer.

We now know that he got it all wrong. But take a look at the reactions by the readers. One would think that Caligula had just put his horse in the Senate.

I think it is instructive to read these comments to see how the left thinks. They live in a never never land of hyperbole, conspiracy, and self-righteousness.

DNC motto “Brother can you spare a dime” or “ For a hamburger today I will gladly pay you on wendsday”.

"Recently, even those who had become somewhat inured to the intense partisanship of this Administration were shocked by the political manipulation of our U.S. Attorneys."

Well, at least back in the nineties his boss Bill Clinton didn't have to manipulation our U.S. Attorneys.

He just fired all of them and put his little yes men in the jobs.
