Rahm gone rogue? That’s bull Shiite!
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
Rahm Emanuel is a liar, but is he a rogue? It’s hardly likely.
He’s one of Barack Obama’s bagmen. The answers to hard questions would settle the matter, but the Democrat controlled media won’t ask them. Emanuel doesn’t show himself in public except to snarl at feckless reports who recoil from his glare.
Revelations of federal wire taps confirm Emanuel spoke with Rod Blagojevich at least six times. It’s insulting to try to tell us they didn’t discuss the price Blagojevich was demanding for appointing Obama’s recommended successor in the Senate.
During the campaign the Democrat media talked about Sarah Palin being a rogue who could not be trusted. She wouldn’t help John McCain make believe he is a conservative. She was a rogue.
While Palin was a rogue, Emanuel is cautious, not roguish. When Special Prosecutor Patrick FitzGerald says Emanuel is not the subject of an investigation he is speaking strictly in legal terms. In terms of real life scandal Emanuel is up to his hips in mud.
Does anyone believe he acted as a rogue, strolled off The One’s reservation and went behind Obama’s back to negotiate a deal with Blagojevich? Being “Chicago way” crooked politicians he and Obama and Blagojevich understand each other very well. They know business is business. Emanuel is not a rogue. He was acting on clear orders from The One, his Chicago style mob boss.
It seems very possible that Emanuel won’t survive this scandal. He won’t go to jail. He might not be publicly disgraced, but he’ll have to either publicly or tacitly admit he went rogue. Since “rogues” don’t work at the top levels of party politics Rahm Emanuel’s future may be in doubt. What is not doubtful is his conduct. He didn’t act as a rouge. Chicago crooks don’t go rogue.
Those who think Obama will just walk away from this are wrong. No, we won’t see his name in the caption of a federal indictment, but he will be hurt for sure. Since unions are involved in this scandal our side should be able to use it to fight and maybe kill the union thug/Democrat scheme to unionize the whole country. We need about fifteen months before the issue will bleed into the next cycle. Let’s see how eager the so called “Blue dog” Democrats are to vote for card check after this plays out.
