Silence of the Rahm


So you are the Chief of Staff of the One. Transition is steaming along with days to the inaguration. Big doings happening all around. Except nobody has heard from for a week or two.

Maybe this explains it...
Rumor???

President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds -- dealing with his boss' vacant Senate seat!

Oops...that'l get a prosecutor's attention. Prolly just talking bout Willis and the weather and you know, stuff like that.

Well here's some background for ya, a little primer in Chi Town Politics. Remember Dan "Rosty" Rostenkowski? He was the Chicago Congressman convicted in the House Banking scandal a few years back. Know who prosecuted him? Eric Holder, our new Attorney General nominee.

Wait, it gets better......

So Rosty gets the boot and a pesky Republican grabs his seat for a term. But Republicans in Chicago do not have a long shelf life so in the next election the seat is filled by the upstart Democrat, Rod Blagojevich. That's right, Congressman Blago!

Wait, it gets even better...

So Blago runs for Governor after his predecessor was, uh, umm, indicted. Blago wins! Who fills his seat?

Wait for it....

Rahm Emanuel.

Chicago politics.....yet, ObamalamDingDong knows nothing.

Yeah, right.
