and his B.F.F. Rahm.....




Rahmbo is coming back to the White House, and this time he means it.
In what has to put a little bit of a damper to the rabid Kum-Ba-Yah-Ness that is sweeping the country, President Elect Obama has chosen Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be the gate keeper. A hard core Clintonista, a man who knows where all the bodies are buried AND who in the country has the deep pockets.  A FANTASTIC choice.
In just one more nail in the coffin for the floundering GOP, he is a force to be reckoned with. While in the ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCE he lost a finger, his chairmanship of the 
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has led to an overwhelming majority in both houses of congress .( A side note here, his counterpart for the Republicans was the  soon to be ex Senator Eliz. Dole.... great job, Liddy.)
Emanuel's older brother, Ezekiel, is an oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother Ari is a talent agent in Los Angeles who inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold on the HBO series Entourage. Emanuel himself is the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on The West Wing. This is going to be a VERY fun , hopefully , Eight years. ( although I am a little bit concerned with the return of size-ism to the White House, these are some SKINNY middle aged guys !)
