Because they know they'll lose their seats in two years during the mid-term elections.

I agree. COS is the position given much more to the administerial side of running the White House. It's an interesting choice because by all accounts Emmanuel has a good grasp on moving legislation through Capital Hill, and knowing where the votes are. It's an ok choice by me.

The much more interesting one's are coming. Where does Colin Powell fit? Will Paul Voker or Bob Rubin be asked to be Treasury? Both would be good choices.

Republican Chuck Hagel is a very decent and knoweldgable man and would make a fine Secretary of Defense.

It'll be interesting to watch. Two or three Republicans in his cabinet, would be a start to setting the right tone for his administration.

Barney Frank would be just as horrible a choice for Secretary of Defense as "Rummy" was.

Agreed, with one exception. The "don't ask don't tell" policy in the military would be immediately lifted by Frank.

Rahm's father was a member of the Irgun. He named his son for the last Israeli soldier killed during the battle for Jerusalem in 1948. The Irgun is considered an Israeli terrorist organization.

Interesting pick!

Wait, wait, wait. I thought you said you weren't going to read anything about Barack Obama just like you didn't read about Bill Clinton? Have you already broken your promise.

You like it when I break my promises, don't ya? BTW, I said I wouldn't listen to Obama or read anything he wrote. That is what I did with Bill Clinton for eight years. I can do that again! Hopefully I will only have to go four this time around.

The Brothers Emanuel
June 15, 1997

The best Rahm Emanuel story is not the one about the decomposing two-and-a-half-foot fish he sent to a pollster who displeased him.

Today, Rahm Emanuel is, at 37, one of the most powerful people at the White House. He is also the middle brother of two similar tank commanders: Ariel Emanuel, 36, a relentless Hollwyood television agent who left International Creative Management under cover of darkness to create a rival firm, and Ezekiel Emanuel, 39, an oncologist (with a doctorate in political theory) who is a nationally known medical ethicist at Harvard and a leading opponent of assisted suicide.
