If there is one thing that separates me from most of the netroots is my fascination and total wettie for Rahm Emmanuel. I think he's hot, even if he's like, five feet tall. It doesn't matter. He's got swagga and those smoldering eyes. Oh and a penchant for cursing like a sailor and threatening his enemies with dead fish or tabled knives. Now THAT rocks my world.

Because you know that this Israeli Army trained moddafucker is the one who took down Blogjevich. You just don't fuck with The Rahm and for that I shall call him henceforth "The Blagonator". From 'Congressman A': Rahm Emanuel -- chicagotribune.com:

The former North Side congressman, picked by Obama in November as his top staff member, was allegedly the subject of extortion in 2006 after he inquired about a $2 million state grant to benefit a school in his district. Prosecutors say Blagojevich instructed a top aide to block the release of the money, even though it had been included in the state's budget.

Blagojevich also allegedly told a high-ranking state official that Emanuel's brother needed to host a fundraiser for him. The indictment does not say which of two brothers was mentioned, but the White House aide said it was Ari Emanuel, a high-powered Hollywood agent active in political fundraising.

Do you smell that? That's the sweet smell of a set-up and total takedown. Blago and his cronies are going to spend eons behind bars.

By the by : I know Rahm hates Howard Dean. I believe they'd shake hands and be friends after some sake an a round of mortal combat (not the video game but the blood sport). I'd totally pay to see that. It would be an awesome fundraiser for the DNC.
