The New Yorker has a new profile of Rahm Emanuel, which, while containing nothing particularly newsworthy, does add to the public record on the new White House chief of staff's fondness for the F-word. Although we all know the word has flown around previous White Houses, it's hard to cite any former chief of staff, or other top-ranking official, who has actually said it on the record in Emanuel fashion.

Passing the stimulus would have been much easier if Al Franken were in the Senate, Emanuel says. "No disrespect to Paul Krugman, but has he figured out how to seat the Minnesota senator? Write a (f-bombing) column on how to seat the son of a bitch."

A Vicious Ballerina.
Remember when Dick Cheney was caught dropping an F-bomb off mic to Pat Leahy? The calls for “decorum and class” were deafening - now, crickets.
Pretty in pink!
It is always this way. The ones that speak the loudest and toughest are always the ones most frightened. They only rant and curse in an attempt to convince themselves they aren’t really spineless little twits.
