There he was Friday afternoon in the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), tossing spending programs overboard until the package was light enough to support the heavy doubts of three Republican senators.
And as negotiations began Tuesday night, he was back in the familiar confines of Reid’s leadership suite. Emanuel has returned to his old stomping grounds at each step of the process, cutting deals and holding hands to keep Democrats together and win enough Republican support to get the package through the Senate.
In doing so, Emanuel has engaged in the legislative process more than any other chief of staff anyone can remember.
It’s no wonder that Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), discussing the stimulus this week, felt compelled to remind an interviewer, “Rahm Emanuel is no longer a member of the House of Representatives.”
Emmanuel is deep in the Blago affair, Obozo goes before the media & public lies thru his teeth to cover Emmanuel, and public still adores this fraud. Unbelievable! Both spread themselves thick with the clintoonian teflon. Obozo, the new Teflon Don.
