Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Todd want private time

NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel were spotted at the Oval Room on Monday afternoon sitting down for lunch.

For a starter, both ordered white asparagus soup and then Todd went on to the tuna tartare and Emanuel went with a chicken Caesar salad. The restaurant manager told Yeas & Nays they specifically requested for “an area where they could talk” (away from the common folk, that is).

“It’s a lovely status symbol for both of them,” a fellow member of the White House press corps told Yeas & Nays, noting most don’t get the chance to dine casually with top administration officials.

Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Todd get private lunch time: “It’s a lovely status symbol for both of them,” a member of the White House press corps said, noting most don’t get the chance to dine casually with top administration officials.

STAY TUNED Manipulating the media in this lavish manner? The question is what other messages did Rahm want Chuck to plant in his news broadcast. BTW, the buzz is Rahm and George Stephanpoli phone-talk every morning.

Good one Mark. The limits some people will go to defend this administration continues to amaze me. Shouldn’t, but it still does.

I tweeted Chuck and told him it ‘wasn’t his finest moment’ but didn’t get a reply of course.

:)

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Chuck. Glad you enjoyed it: I’ll stay on the case!
