By now everyone has an image of Rahm Emanuel. He’s the profanity-spewing political street-fighter. He’s the guy who once sent a dead fish to a political opponent.

RE ping!
Swing...and a miss!
This dirtbag will promise everything and deliver NOTHING - just like his ex-boss. The worst part is that people will believe his lies.
Hey, Brooks - being a posterior smooching poofter is no way to go through life.

David Brooks!

...The Soft Side of Karl Rove.
(no, I didn’t think so.)
The SOFT side, or the wild side of Rahm Emanuel (ballerina extraordinaire)?
Things we’d ,pst like to see
Rahm in a tutu
Things we’d most like to see
Rahm in a tutu
I’d like to see the soft, mushy composty side...
I have a classmate and close friend who is in the Whitehouse a couple times a month.
Says Rahm and one who will go unnamed refused to shake his hand at their first meeting.
Arrogant, elitist,....
The soft underbelly of Rahmbo.
Appearing soon at Man’s Country.
Slobbering David Brooks... again.
And this is who the NYTimes claims is their “conservative” guy.
Go ahead, name the dude.
Don’t be afraid.
This NYT reporter spends so much time kissing ballerina boy's ass. David Brooks must be gay, he is in love with ballerina boy the slimy liar. Hey Brooks, just give him a rim job and get it over with.
