When it comes to being the guy behind the guy, there is no one more conspicuous than Rahm Emanuel.

John Kass is the only guy in Chicago who has been pursuing the Chicago corruption story. Too bad nobody has been listening to him until now.

Rham is a f@cking overbearing, vicious, rabid goon with little or no redeeming social or political value. 70 years ago he would really have given Heinrich Himmler a real run for his money as head of the Gestapo.

If I were the girl in that photo I would not go anywhere near that curtain.

When is the last time you’ve seen a story about a future president who has only two degrees of separation from a guy named Ken “Tokyo Joe” Eto? :)

I’m impressed.
I had no idea anyone in Chi-town was writing like that.

That “girl” Michelle Obama, is part of the problem. She’s willing to make a deal with the devil to get her man in the White House.

It’s good to see sly innuendo, one right after the other, about a Democrat.

Wow.

Other than what you point out, I take it he is a nice guy?

j/k, of course.

I'd never heard of the clown until the "0" came along, apparently this man has lots of baggage.

Rahm Emanuel is the top turd in this incoming corrupt, cesspool adminsistration.

Little Rahm’s a Clinton retread, like so many others of the 0-team.

Is this ‘’Tital of Politcs’’ still married to the ‘’Worlds Most Respected Reporter’’ or is it just in his mind. I can just imagine what’s going on behind the scenes. I wonder Michelle has gathered up her supply of ashtrays yet.

He was one of the original weasels that helped ‘Slick’ get elected. A very unpleasant subhuman.
