Josh Lyman for Chief of Staff, Part 2

[wolven7]

For those wondering, people are strange about Emmanuel because he's Fiercely partisan, and damn near the Definition of "Washington Insider." On the other hand, Obama can easily deflect this by saying, "I know what I don't know and Rahm can help me, in these areas, such as inter-branch diplomacy."

For my part, I think Rahm Emmanuel will be there to throw the elbows and knees, so Obama doesn't have to. He's the one to say, "My boss wants to work with you. And so do I. So don't make me FUCKING cut you."

You know he once sent a dead fish to a guy, right? That's fucking Metal, Ninja, AND Gangster.

My prediction: In the face of the Democratic majority in Congress, expect to see Emmanuel cutting back on the partisan rhetoric and increasing pressure up on the Hill.

Having watched Casino again tonight, that's fucking old school Gangster. And that shits the respectable kind of muscling.

I think that Emmanuel was a very conservative choice, just like Biden was for VP. I worry, however, that Obama is stacking his cabinet with folks who are hawkish on the Middle East. His choices for State and Defense will hopefully balance that out.

That's what I hope, too

That's fucking Metal, Ninja, AND Gangster. With a sprinkle of pirate!

Oh yeah, I loved that. I giggled all the way through the article when I read he'd accepted the position. I think they next 4 years are going to be way more interesting.
