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

He’s been in the public eye for HOW long, now??? Come on, this is nothing but whining, and I’m sure it’s NOTHING compared to the usual rough-and-tumble of Chicago politics (of which he has been on the “giving” end until this).
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ANYONE RELATING TO THE ONE!!!!
Mrs Malkin 10 lashes for you!!!!
But seriously, toughen up buttercup.
Typical of bullies to dish it out, but be completely unable to take it.
Well then, answer the question.
“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.
TRANSLATION: “You’re treating me like a Republican!”
Death threats? From who?
Sarah Palin gets treated a million times worse by the MSM. Quit whining Rahm and grow yourself a pair.
He’s in the wrong party for that.
What would any of these Democrat wimps do if they had to endure the truly offensive media assault on Republicans like Sarah Palin over things like whether she actually is the mother of her daughter?
Like they say Rahm . . . it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on.

What, did someone hang him in effigy?
Regardless of political affiliation, death threats are NEVER acceptable, and the response probably shouldn’t be simply to tell the person affected to “toughen up.” Yes, I realize this stuff goes on all the time, to politicians on both sides of the aisle (and, of course, to non-political public figures as well), but, that does not make it acceptable, or something to shrug off.
We should be working to elevate the political discourse in this country. It’s become a cesspool, and we are all worse off because of it.
Hold the phone oh tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the beltway
Lay it down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
many things come to mind, such as:
boo freakin hoo,
can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,
waaaaahhh, and
Rahm – GROW UP!
It’s nice to know our girl Sarah has a bigger pair than this piece of work. Next thing you know he’ll be all bitter like and start clinging to guns and religion. Oh, wait, he’s already clinging to “The One”.
My advice to Rahm-a-long-a-ding-dong?: Grow a pair or go home.
Rahm, you might want to talk to JTP or Sarah on how they handled the msm. You are getting off easy so far.
L
I get them all the time on you tube. big deal.
this stuff makes me tired.
You should see the ones from the radical muslims. Those guys go completely ape after I tease them a bit. Hell, be-heading, torture, rape, I have been threatened with them all. The gay activists are just as bad sometimes.
Quick! Hide the steak knives before Rhambo gives you the finger!
You must be living right.
You have NOT heard crying until Obama gets linked in this. Most of the
countryworld is gunna have a hissy. Of course us folks who hate corruption will be gleeful.I am pretty sure I am hell bound. I heard the best parties are there.
Personaly, I’m looking forward to what the chief of staff if going to give up on the soon to be ex-gov. Gotta believe this quick resignation is part of a deal in progress for more info. Hope he squeals like a pig.
sonofdy – A person can be measured by the quality of his enemies. You must be doing something write.
what a candyass.
Hey Rahm – grow a couple and be a man about this. Yeesh, what a putz!
Speaking of which, where the heck is atheling?
Why would someone threaten his life? It doeasn’t make sense! Even if he talked to Gov. Blago, who would seriously consider harming him for that. Ridiculous!
Quick….someone call a whaaaaambulance!

Actually, from what I’ve read in the Bible, the partying, and the food is gonna be a whole lot better in heaven.
Well i must admit I push the envolope, you know calling thier prophet a pedophile and his teachings the ravings brought on by too much time in the sun. Its like I tell the gay activists, if you don’t bother me, I am not likely to bother you. Unless your over-reactions are amusing.
But the best drugs are in hell, ozzy osborne told me so!!!
Which level is reserved for the atheist liberal commies?
Cause you DEFINETLY wanna get in on that one. I am bringing some primo booze with me and already have an awesome playlist on my iPod.
They do allow iPods in hell right? Or do they make us use Zunes?
Rahm..Rahm..Rahm… c’mon man – buck up! Your job is to be Obama’s wing man until such time as he needs to throw you under the bus. Might as well get under there now, Rahmy-boy — before it gets way too crowded. Grandmas, Reverends, Chief-of-staffs — it matters not!
chapoutier – you may get an iPod, but it will play Chinese opera and Lawerence Welk.
But how could you understand Ozzie? I don’t think even Ozzie understands Ozzie.
Pobrecito…
Your level is the one reserved for lawyers, sorry.
Only scratched up, warped LPs on a system with blown speakers. Why do you think they call it Hell?
I thought Barry Manilow was the standard for torture.
Pit bulls hate to be bitten. Whiny Rhammy thinks, as do most democrats, that they should be above media scrutiny. Afterall, friends (in the MSM) shouldnt make life tough for their compadres in government.
What about 8 track tapes that switch tracks in the middle of the song that you bought the tape for? I hated 8 tracks even then, had to be an invention of the devil.
Don’t hold back Rahm F’ing Emanuel … tell us how you REALLY feel…
it’s going to be a very very long 4 years…if we survive that is…
Poor baby; I thought he was such a tough guy.
The BO Administration is already a trainwreck, and it hasn’t even left the station.
It takes years of heavy drug abuse but it can be done!!!
Hmmm, who’s the steak knives going to come out for this time?
Maybe he feels like:
Yeah, there’s that, and I guess he can always text you too.
Cry-Baby. Sissy-fied, wussy-boy cry-baby. How ’bout them daddy-pants? They fit kinda tight around the zipper about now, don’t they Rahmmy-boy?
This is the kid that had to run home from school every day to keep from getting his butt kicked.
Seriously Rahm. This is nothing. As the song says “Whatcha gon’ do when they come for you?”
As several posters have said before me, Man up and grow a pair. Either that or get your binky and blankey and go sit in the corner until the big people stop talking.
Is the transition team making the death threats?
All Rahm was doing was delivering the Ones offer.
Did Fitzmas stop the investigation to save this clown?
Hmm. Interesting notion. He didn’t actually say from whom.
Obummer to Rahm: Talk and you’re dead.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
That scenario makes the most sense.
Just saw where he is “not a target in the Illinois probe” according to a headline on Drudge.
The next few years are going to be awful. But if they are all this thin skinned at least it will be amusing…
“Who do they think I am? Joe the Plumber?”, Emanual later asked.
Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald claims to have been working on this case for “years”. Why did he cut it short before Blagojevich could arrange the sale of the Senate seat to one of RhamObama’s buddies? The snare trap was set with many Chicagoan feet brushing the lever. Looks like Fitzie prematurely rugby tackled most of these Barry Hussein mafia syndicates OFF the snare before the most damaging evidence could be collected. Obama must have known. Now, sentencing could be greatly reduced and many may get off on technicalities or juror “OJ” misconduct (aka not guilty sympathy votes). Get ready to see a lot of premature deaths prior to trials!
Death threats? LOL Perfect. If he actually IS getting “death threats”, they’re coming from the mob insiders in the Chicago Machine. He probably knows them personally, having worked in that slime pit for a decade or longer. Of course, he COULD answer the question, but that might put him in a “bad” light. I see the next four years causing the former Clinton administration to pale in comparison. The “Chicago Way” comes to Washington.
Mr. Capone was unavailable for comment.
What happened to “Rahmbo”? What happened to the “sharp elbows” he was supposed to have? Somebody’s GUILTY!!!
But, of course, the Obamessiah had nothing to do with any of this and knew nothing, NOTHING about it!!!
Mrs. Rahm Emanuel told Mr. Rahm Emanuel that if he did not get the reporters off the lawn she is going to kill him. That death threat. As in I think he is lying.
Brother Rahm Emanuel is not quite the tough guy advertised-just one more Chicago thug. So he invited an ABC News cameraman into the bathroom did he? Barney Frank- you are needed.
Pretty much what I thought of Democrats anyway.
I wouldn’t be surprised if glorious Emanuel comes out admitting he’s queer in 3, 2, 1….
Thats it?????
This is the Rahm-bo that eveyone is afraid of? Seems more like Rahm-an noodles than a boogeyman.
I guess the bark is worse than the bite. Come on Rahmy, go school on these MSM wussies. I’m rooting for you as the underdog here!!

Duh, he’s a Democrat.
There was a time in this county where real men were in power.
What a wussy.
Hey Rahm. You need to go moose hunting with me, way way way out into the wilderness of Idaho.
Hey, who made wrote the post about Obama swimming away from the upside down car with Rahms body still in it?
Has the car gone off off the bridge yet, or is he still getting felt up on the beach?
Where moose are men and men are scared?
Too funny, Rabbid. And I thought my last post was looking for a scrap!
Oh, poor Rahm. Is the world being mean to you? Suck it up!
Hilarious!
Well, it’s “From whom?” but I won’t press the issue. He’s getting death threats from those who think he’ll roll over and give them up.
“That’s the Chicago way!”
ECS
They allow IPODs, but they only play country/western. That’s the hell of it.
Even juvenile delinquents are Moma’s boys these days…
Wait until the press asks him if he’s the father of his daughter’s baby she didn’t actually have. Wuss.
The media showed your address on national television? BAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
Ever heard of Linda Tripp or Kenneth Star, Rahmy??
How dare you consider yourself worthy of comparison to a real man like Joe.
Every bully is a coward (one of the great and permanent truths about humanity).
Every Chicago politician is a bully (and that means you too God Emperor Obama).
Therefore . . .
There really isn’t much more to say.
The problem here is that these are democrats, and they’re not used to being badgered like this. Usually the dinosaur media is busy helping cover up. For some reason, they aren’t trying to cover up this time. I understand why the Chicago Sun Times is all over it, but I don’t get why all the others are, too.
But Rahm is mad because as a democrat, he’s not supposed to get found out and harrassed by the media.
Is this guy the drama queen he appears to be?
If so the next 3-4 years might be somewhat entertaining.
I could understand the complaint that the press was horning in on a family event – a school concert his daughters were performing in that he was attending. There’s nothing to any of this that couldn’t wait an hour, especially when all reporters were on a level playing field.
But threats to continue evading the press is a huge mistake – there’s no other term for it than “stonewalling,” and even the most liberal reporter will react like a shark to blood in the water. It also raises the story from mildly titillating to front-page status.
Apparently, Rahm hasn’t yet learned enough about Washington politics to understand that you really want to be in the boat when you’re chumming, not in the water.
Gee, is the honeymoon over already? After a couple of years of nothing but fluff gaga “reporting” they’re actually, and finally doing their JOB.
You’re assuming Rahm is telling the truth about those death threats. This is not a safe assumption. He’s not a truthful man.
Also, as has been pointed out on this site, he IS a man who MAKES death threats (famously, while stabbing a knife into a table), as well as the kind of man who associates with unsavory people who make those threats and mean them (aka ordinary everyday Chicago politicians).
I know you’re trying to take the high road but in this particular case you may be aiming higher than is warranted.
Like a deathbed confession, I plan on being disbarred right before I kick it, just to be on the safe side.
What a pansy a$$.
They should be putting his address on national television. He’s a crooked son of a gun. He knows it and I hope he gets real scared of people knowing what he is doing. That way he will do what is right instead of taking part in crooked deals.
LOL, you realize we’re now talking about the safe side of hell, right?
Well, I would normally agree, SixDegrees, but we sure never heard ol’ Rahmmy stand up for Sarah or Bristol Palin when the press was practically clammoring up their respective hoo-haws for that stupid non-story about who REALLY gave birth to Trig.
This actually IS a story for which Rahm needs to account.
I bet he was Jewing the Gov. down from a million he might get from the Jacksons, to 500 cash on the barrel head.
Now, that was funny!
