Hey, Rahm, you can dish it out....

Remember when Rahm Emanuel was such a tough guy

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/8091986/the_enforcer/

Rep. Rahm Emanuel is leading the Democratic charge to retake the House next year. Will his old-school combativeness rub off on his more timid colleagues?....

"He's got this big old pair of brass balls, and you can just hear 'em clanking when he walks down the halls of Congress," says Paul Begala, who served with Emanuel on Clinton's staff. "The Democratic Party is full of Rhodes scholars — Rahm is a road warrior. He's just what the Democrats need to fight back."

Friends and enemies agree that the key to Emanuel's success is his legendary intensity. There's the story about the time he sent a rotting fish to a pollster who had angered him. .........And there's the story of how, the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting "Dead! . . . Dead! . . . Dead!" and plunging the knife into the table after every name. "When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape," one campaign veteran recalls. "It was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."

well, he isn;t now.

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.

Oh, booo, freakin hoo

You know Rahm, you did a great job in '06 of targeting all the various reprobates in the Republican House caucus and making sure even the ones in safe districts had credible opponents. And one by one you picked them all off, the Curt Weldons, the John Sweeneys...it got to the point I e-mailed one editor here on the point , citing Queen....Another One Bites the Dust    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_One_Bites_the_Dust for Emanuel's strategy

Including one Mark Foley. And Emanuel is alleged to have scammed people about getting the goods on Foley http://www.memeorandum.com/061210/p37#a061210p37   as well as knowing his opponent was equally slimy http://www.thenextright.com/ironman/most-ethical-congress-ever. And don;t underestimate the damage the Foley flap had even in Blue States--GOP incumbent numbers that week went down a mineshaft.

So . Rahm, you've lived by the sword. Doesn't feel very nice coming back at ya, now does it? 

You also know, being a snitch like Whitey Bulger  doesn't get you a lot of respect either from cops or robbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Bulger

This is the life you chose to lead, Rahm. Hope you are enjoying it. 

By the way, where's that pair you are supposed to have?
