An interesting read:
(Excerpt from an article published in 2005)

"The Enforcer"

“…will the Democrats be able to take advantage of the mess the GOP has made?

The answer depends, in many ways, on Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Chicago.”

"We're the party of change," Emanuel tells me. "We're the party of a new direction -- a break from rampant cronyism and the status quo. Period."

Rahm Emanuel is the creme de la creme of the slimiest people in politics.

And don't forget he is from Chicago.............
