4. you mean the chicago thug who once sent a dead fish to an opponent? tmz, you need to be more neutral in your political views, at least for your site. it turns off a lot of your readers.

5. How come when I see him I think of Tom Hagen in Godfather II. Makes me wonder if he had this chat with the CFO of Freddie

Tom Hagen: When a plot against the Emperor falled... the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?

Frank Pentangeli: Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the Emperors. Unless they went home and killed themselves, then nothing happened. And the families... the families were taken care of.

Tom Hagen: That was a good break. A nice deal.

Frank Pentangeli: Yeah... They went home... and sat in a hot bath... opened up their veins... and bled to death... and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

7. This guy is a real snake -- very smart but under-the-table Chicago machine politician who has the potential to get caught-up in a "fixer" scandal. Keep your eye on him, not the President, because this guy is pulling the strings behind the curtain.

8. So funny to see the wingnutters continually work themselves into a lather over a 20 year old dead fish story. Rahm has to love it.

9. This guy wants to ban anyone on the "no fly list" from being able to get a gun. No due process, no conviction just suspicion is enough. You are a no good Zionist criminal Rahm, the sooner you are behind bars the better off the country will be!!

13. Nice to see that the TMZ staff has Rahm Emanuel's belt buckle imprint on their foreheads.

14. At least he never autorized torture. A dead fish? That's NOTHING compared to what Cheney did to people. AND HE WON'T STOP!! PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR CRYPT, CHENEY!!

15. This guy is obnoxious but what kind of scandal did he do. Hyper-aggressive loudmouthed men like this are toxic and cliche and anathema to a constructive universe. (Though perhaps his presence will restrain Obama from mixing Church and State with all that inappropriate and non-inclusive Christian prayer stuff.)
