6. I have to agree with you there.
My level of enthusiasm decreased substantially when Rahm was named CoS. I've never trusted him since his disparaging comments regarding Dean's 50 State Strategy (which Gov Dean was right about!). I think the decision is w Obama not Rahm, though.

9. If you like a policy, folks credit Obama. If you don't, blame Emmanuel.
It's like southernors did with FDR. If you liked what he did, give FDR credit. If you don't like it, blame Eleanor.

Obama's a grown up and not a puppet of Emmanuel.

2. I fear you're right
He was right about everything he did for the party and the party wonks are going to have a hard time forgiving him for it.

I'm glad Daschle is gone, though. He lacked imagination.

11. It isn't a real booger
It is that gummy shit that holds the fake credit cards to the paper outlining the benefits of the free credit card they're offering you.

I collect it and roll it into tendrils. I shove the tendrils up my nose to look like boogers.

See? Fooled you!

:rofl:
