Rahm Emanuel -- Bigger Than the Big O

Further proof that the hierarchy of celebrity is different in D.C. than Hollywood -- for one restaurant in town, there is no bigger star than Rahm Emanuel.

The soon-to-be Chief of Staff is a regular at Rasika Restaurant. This Indian joint made it clear: The best table always goes to Rahm -- and that specifically includes you, Oprah, according to the hostess on duty.

We're told other than dealing with his order, waiters are told not to bother Mr E. But the waiters get theirs in the end -- we're told Rahm is a "fabulous tipper."

17. The far left was on Karl Rove like stink on chicken s---. Lets see how they do with this piece of spoiled refuse. Rahm Emmaneul is a much worse abusive partisan than Karl Rove, DeLay, or any other Republican. I expect TMZ to praise him to high purgatory and beyond. I won't be fooled. How about you?

18. Ok Kiko, you better hope you are Jewish or he will hate you too...the guy is evil personified---he comes from bad stock, a terrorist father who killed women and children in Israel...believe whatever fluff you want to from him and his camp, the guy cares nothing for the rest of the world but for Israel. The United States to him will always be second in order of importance...he isnt representing the people, he is representing his Jewish Homeland. Ask him how and who got him filthy rich in the "investment banking" business? Last time I looked he wasnt trained in Finance but in Ballet dancing and Political Science.

You do the math...the guys a plant for Israel and been made rich by other rich people who love Israel too. I thought Obama was supposed to represent all people, not just the ones that Rahm loves. Which by the way make up the smallest of all minority groups now. So much for Majority Rules huh?

Same non Jew hating nonsense every Administration has ever given us...its all about money and power, and the Chosen People have figured that out to keep getting the Worlds Leaders to goose step to their wants.

23. Jesus, will you people shut up! Rahm has worked hard for what he's got. Shouldn't talk about if you know nothing about. I'll back this guy up no matter what.
