Rahm Emanuel is now on the political equivalent of the missing person’s list. Since his name emerged as one of the players in the “pay to play” corruption allegations against Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) last month, Emanuel has rarely been seen, and hasn’t been heard from at all, except to perfunctorily submit a letter to Speaker Pelosi, and resign his House seat, so he can take the position of White House chief of staff in the forthcoming Obama administration.
But, it’s really no wonder why Emanuel has chosen to live his life underground. According to published reports, Emanuel is caught on tape an astounding 21 times by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Patrick Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald’s wiretaps have yet to be released, but, political insiders in Chicago are speculating that the tapes paint a sordid portrait of Emanuel. Not that he’s been discovered to be making an illegal deal with Blago over Obama’s Senate seat. No, the scandal that is poised to emerge from the Emanuel tapes has to do with his foul character. “What is now called the Silence of the Rahm has developed, with a cocoon of muteness that has descended upon Cong. Rahm Emanuel, who has been slated to be Obama’s chief-of-staff,” writes noted political commentator, Thomas Roeser, in a recent column. “What worries the Obama media people is not that Rahm is caught on tape with Blago and staff a full 21 times — but that Emanuel’s propensity for four-letter words will be revealed and cause a distinct toxic shock to idealists who believe Obama will bring a wafting air of clean breeze to politics.”
Roeser speculates that if the tapes are as bad as Obama’s media people believe, then Rahm may “have to be tossed by the Messiah under...

He’s a total thug, along with Axelrod and Ayers, but don’t get your hopes up. None of them will be ousted. They’re Bambi’s brains (the poor suntanned sap has spent a lifetime trying to figure out who he was and what he was here for and where he was going and who he could use to get there...well, you get the idea) and he can’t afford to let them go.
So ANyone for a game of “Where in the World is Rahm Emanual”?
Is Rahm still on safari? Perhaps he will be eaten by a Lion.

You mean the guy who sends dead rotten fish in brown wrapper to people has suddenly vanished from the scene?
"In between his stints in Washington, Emanuel got rich working as an investment banker. He once sat on the board of Freddie Mac and recuses himself from any Congressional votes on the mortgage giant."
"Has been known to send out cheesecakes from Eli's Bakery in Chicago to campaign donors and the many Democratic candidates he has recruited over the years. Once, when a pollster made him angry, Emanuel sent him a dead fish."

Rahm Emanuel - considering the “smash-mouth, take-no-prisoners, gut-knifing” tactics he has used against the Republicans after 2004, can’t say I have much pity for him. He almost makes the antics of James Carville look like schoolboy pranks.
Item: The Mark Foley “scandal”, that was used to “prove” the Republicans were immersed in a culture of corruption.
Item: Churning the “macaca” remark of George Allen into an example of the “insensitivity” of Republicans. Jim Webb is just, well, perverse. On so many levels.
And now Chuck Schumer is infected with this same deadly ambition to lay snares and point fingers.
Folks, we will just have to hope we can surf this avalanche to the bottom.
He’s over in Africa and anyplace else in the world covering up Obama’s birth certificate fraud.

Rahm’s father was a very high honcho in the Israeli air force, and Rahm in theory is pro-Israel. But mostly Rahm is pro-Rahm. He’s probably the most politically vicious and anti-conservative person on Bambi’s team. Axelrod is the savviest, and Ayers is the brains of the program. Bambi won’t give up Rahm easily (although Rahm was obviously the one on the tapes trying to get Blago to strike a good deal for the candidate chosen by Rahm/Bambi) because he needs him too much.
However, whatever his feelings on Israel, he’s anti-American, and that’s the thing that’s important to us.
This was totally unexplainable unless all those people's brains had turned to crap.
Turned out they had ~ Bernie Madoff actually had all their money and he's not saying where it's at.
I suspect that Rahm may well be looking for the loot.
I still insist on building an ever-growing pile of hope . . . that Rahm Emanuel and/or Rod Blagobitch can be heard uttering variations of the word "n!gger" multiple times on these phone calls.
Obama couldn't care less about four-letter words; and Rahm wouldn't have spoken with Blago or his staff 21 times if he and Obama weren't willing to pay Blago off.
Axelrod’s first job was with a small, local communist paper. He had ties with Ayers father way back when. As did Jarrett’s father. (at the time of Mayor Harold Washington.....hint
Rahm -E is the newest to the community. The only thing I found suspicous about R-E was the multimillion dollars he made as an investment banker after he left the Clinton...Only had eight clients....ANd yes Rahm is about Rahm. He was the first one I suspected of wearing the wire until Wyma came into the picture.
BTW WYma has so much more than Rezko to spill on Blank-O that the only way Rezko can now make a deal is spill on.......drum roll.....BO.
I think you’re right. I hope Rezko has got his bodyguards lined up, and I hope they’re good ones.
The Harold Washington connection is interesting. I didn’t know about that.
I help the conservative candidate, in the special election, to replace Emanuel. She’s Rosanna Pulido, the founder and director of the Illinois Minuteman Project. Please read her site, www.rosannapulido2009.com. If you know anyone who lives in the Chicago area, please tell them that she’s the only candidate, in that race, who is pro-life, anti-illegal alien, and pro-gun.
