1. The answer- Howard Dean
Rahm and Dean are bitter rivals and the people that let Dean do their talking for them are none to fond of old Rahm.

2. So they want Rahm fired for not liking Dean?
Good grief, what is wrong with people? This thing about not caring what the administration looks like is stupid.

Thanks for the answer. I'm still shaking my head.

3. Actually I really like Howard Dean and don't like Emmanuel but I sure don't want the Chief of Staff
to the president investigated. I don't think Kucinich is going after Emmanuel either, that's just a FDL spin. He's taking a look at what Fannie/Freddie are gonna do with the new money.

4. I agree FDL is being quite dishonest in it's spin
Dennis is just being a politician and looking to score some political points. I see nothing in his statement about his investigation that indicates it's in any way directed at Emmanuel.

5. I'm from IL and I guess we're used to Rahm.
I would hope DK wouldn't be going after him, everything is so crazy here anymore that you can hardly tell up from down. But the FDL spin, I got reamed for saying JH was full of herself. LOL it was worth it, because I don't trust her at all.

6. Hey jaxx...
I asked the same question and got some pretty good answers here:

I'm from Illinois, before I moved to Michigan, before I moved to Nebraska...LOL
I have always liked Rahm, but didn't follow politics too closely. I've been trying to figure it all out myself.

10. I like Rahm for some reasons and
others not so much..and I really like Dean. But, if hamsher thinks teaming up with grover norquist to go after some bogus White Water investigation on Rahm she's full of more shit than norquist.

It's disingenuous and sure to fatten her coffers..imv, she's an attentionwhore.

12. +10
for saying what I was thinking on this subject, some are desperate
to divide the democrats and will do whatever it takes to achieve that.

Nothing to see here....
