Rahm-a-drama: “Beet red” and “pissed” with the MSM

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 12, 2008 04:31 PM

Awwwww. Rahm Emanuel can’t stand the heat. So, he’s blaming the media. ABC News says he’s “beet red” and “pissed” that he can’t go anywhere without someone asking question about his role in Blago-gate.

It’s a hard-knock life:

The president-elect’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said today he won’t go to the Chicago presidential transition offices in order to avoid reporters trying to ask him whether he had contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama’s election.

Emanuel appeared “beet-red,” according to an ABC News cameraman who was invited inside by Emanuel to use his bathroom this morning.

“I’m getting regular death threats. You’ve put my home address on national television. I’m pissed at the networks. You’ve intruded too much, ” Emanuel said, according to the cameraman.

A spokesman for Emanuel said he later showed up at the office, apparently able to sneak out of the house without being seen by reporters waiting to ask him questions.

Toughen up, sweetie. You’re from Chicago. Remember?

Meantime, Blago’s chief of staff resigned. But Blago’s still holding on.

    How can anyone really believe that the rising star of Chicago politics be squeaky clean? I ain’t buying it. Read 1 Corinthians 15:33.

    I never said that. rather than quote me a Bible passage, perhaps you should read my posts more closely.

    How sensitive you are, Rahm-bo.

    Kinda like BO when someone talks about his ears.

    Getting so pissed over a simple yes or no question about a major topic of the day?

    Whatever will you do when people start referring to you as RahmHiter?

    Oh, I forgot. Such nutty comments are only made by liberals … and never about their own.

    So maybe we won’t see you break down and cry, but you’re still a wuss.

    Hey Chap, I do read your posts. They amuse me. Read my posts. I complimented you on the fact that you hadn’t yet fell into full up lawyer mode to make excuses for “The One”.

    But then lately you seem to be headed in that direction. Mr. Untouchable appears to have surrounded himself with scum which, if you have ever swam in a lake filled with algae, will stick to you when you get out. Hence the scriptural reference. Perhap you would like to read it to the class?

    A bigger pair of Nancies I have never seen.

    Obambi cannot stand any mention about his ears, middle name, skin color, religious beliefs, church-going habits, specific plans for the country, and on and on.

    “Rahmbo With the Sharp Elbows” is just as prissy. Shine the light on him and he gets teary-eyed. Man up, boy. You want to project an image, live up to it. Otherwise, slink back to the Chicago backrooms from whence you crept.

    Rhambo has very good reason to be ticked off at the Left Wing Media (not the MSM). They have been flying superb air cover for him and his buddies for years.
    ***
    He looks at this like a case of his wingman accidently hitting him with a stray burst when they are flying in formation.
    ***
    Why not get ticked off–the LWM is supposed to be strafing the conservatives–not doing FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENTS on the O’bummer and his minions. Rhambo sounds like Hillery Clinton when the LWM stopped backing her up and stopped sweeping her C**P under the rug during the primary campaign.

    Chap understands Natural Law, but like many liberals he insist on legal positivism which allows moral relativism. Give him time and he’ll come around to our side. He can’t swim in Obamas polluted waters forever.

    Don’t be silly. He’s a budding lawyer, and like all bottom feeders and carrion eaters, it isn’t pollution to him, it’s dinner.

    I help rich people pay less taxes. I know in some circles, that would be considered “bottom feeding.”

    I highly doubt this is one of them.

    And I have been a lawyer for over 6 years now. I passed “budding” about 3 of them ago.

    A lawyer nonetheless. The profession itself is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just that is has been corrupted into something that is distainful to the majority of us. It is full of the “Have you stopped beating your wife? Answer yes or no.” type of manipulation, spin, and deceit. So, to associate oneself with such questionable practices invites periodic discussions of ones legitimacy.

    And Chap, “Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character”. Just in case you couldn’t find your Bible amongst the tax codes.

    I gladly associate myself with the practice and strongly defend all types off attorneys, even the ambulance chasers and criminal defense folks.

    These are indeed amazing developments (Democrats actually being investigated and facing possible consequences for their actions–although the media will forever hide which party these degenerates are party to), so it does not surprise me that folks like Rahm Emanuel cannot face any of the scrutiny aimed at him.

    Roddy-Blo is a mere tip of the iceberg here, and it is a terrible shame that the investigation into this corruption did not go on well into the Winter before indictments were handed out. It could have netted everyone who ever had any connection with the rotten Chicago machine (Obama included, because he’s as steeped into it as anyone on the face of the Earth). It’s so bad that the stigma of it could have carried on into 2010 to destroy the Dem’s huge majorities in Congress.

    I just hope that Roddy-Blo continues to fight on and buck his party’s cries for him to resign. I also hopes that he eventually sings like a bird when he’s on trial in an effort to drag as many people down with him as possible.

    I saw Karl Rove being stalked outside his house durig the Valarie Plame incident. Now that the same prosecutor is focusing his sights on the home team, they cry foul.

    Rahm was, and is, a poor choice for “change” in this country. I saw him on CSPAN calling the Rebublicans “Republics” over and over. The disdain in his voice was so apparent, it was disgusting. He was insulting them to their face and loving every minute of it. House rules do not even permit that kind of behavior but there was Nancy, gleefully endorsing it as well. That guy and his ilk disgust me. He is a mean spirited a$$.

    I would ask why Obama would even associate with a guy like that but do we even know who Obama is? No, we don’t. The left wing media failed to present the facts equitably, reasonably, and accurately.

    Obama said Blago is just politics as usual. What a guffaw. Maybe corruption is usual in Illinois and I think there may be a lot of truth to that but corruption is an exception, not a rule.

    Even Enron is an exception. To tar all corporations with that broad brush is just a class warfare tactic perpetuated by the left wing media & swallowed whole by the masses. That should be a major concern to all free thinkers.

    I’ll take a gracious President Bush with all of his faults over people like Obama & Emmanuel any day of the week. What goes around comes around.
