Rahm Emanuel’s Mother Calls Him “Rahmbo”
By Dylan Matthews - Nov 13th, 2008 at 3:03 pmAfter Rahm Emnauel was picked as Obama’s chief of staff, I joked to friends that Rahm Facts might be necessary. Example: “Rahm Emanuel does not push legislation through, it flees from him out of abject terror.”
Well, the Rahm Emanuel Facts site is now up, and given as they’re about Rahm Emanuel, they’re actual facts. Seriously. They’re sourced and everything. A sampling:
- Rahm Emanuel regularly calls his children “meshuganas”.
- Rahm Emanuel declared his enemies “dead” while repeatedly stabbing a steak knife into a table.
- Rahm Emanuel sent a rotting fish to a pollster he didn’t like.
- Rahm Emanuel told Bill Clinton: “You should have messed around with a goyish girl.”
- When donors offer Rahm Emanuel $5,000 checks, he hangs up on them.
- Before seeking medical attention for his severed finger, Rahm Emanuel went swimming.
And those are just the ones that don’t involve profanity. Check out the rest here.
I wish they’d done it all Web 2.0-style like http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com/.

November 13th, 2008 at 5:10 pmAs a former intern at the DCCC and the Caucus, I will say that Rahm definitely expects you to know it’s him when he calls.
