Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shelter in place is one thing. Shelter in pants is quite another.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.

Verified, but limited!

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

False Scribes! False Scribes!

Too inconsequential to be sued

All your base are belong to Tunch.

I thought we were promised Infrastructure Week.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

No one could have predicted…

Consistently wrong since 2002

This is how realignments happen…

Militantly superior in their own minds…

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

This post is in: Show Me On the Doll Where Rahm Touched You

Facebook0Tweet0Email0

I’m not big Rahm Emanuel fan, but I thought this interview with him was quite good. On the GOP:

IC: How do you think the GOP has changed since you left Washington in 2011?

RE: It has been going downhill. Washington is not broken. The GOP is broken.

On local politics versus national politics:

IC: You don’t have a Congress that prohibits you from passing the smallest thing.

RE: We have fifty aldermen but we do have a … hmmm.

IC: A working majority?

RE: [Bursts into laughter.] We have a can-do spirit. Washington doesn’t think they have a lot on the line. We have a lot on the line.

That’s a very good description of what’s so screwed up about the GOP in Washington right now: they don’t give a fuck, they don’t think they have a lot on the line beyond their jobs.

And on Israel, vey candid:

IC: But why is there the will (for a peace deal) now?

RE: Hamas is as weak as it’s going to be. Abbas is ready to work with Israel. Israel has a security concern involving geography. But geography does not have the same value it did in 1967. And I want to say that there is nothing I just said that major figures in the national security apparatus of the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and Israel haven’t said publicly. Nothing!

IC: Sometimes American politicians can’t say things that have already been said in Israel—

RE: You are not allowed to here! Because the American—well, for whatever reason, that is a whole different debate. I don’t want to talk about this. It is not my business. I don’t really care. But Israel’s national security apparatus has concluded what I have observed. [Laughs.]

I still think the guy’s an asshole, but it was an interesting interview.

    Yep, this is the root cause of all our problems. We are ruled by people who don’t give a fuck, and really have no reason to. The creation of the entire Wingnut Welfare Circuit provides their politicians with a club that’ll take care of them no matter how they do in office and even if they leave or are defeated, and they’re actually more scared of being kicked out of that club than they are of losing an election. The 1% whose money makes all that possible, in turn, also have no accountability – as we saw in the 2008 crisis, they can golden-parachute their way out of even their biggest fuckups, and as Bain Capital and others showed us, quite a few of them are now at the point where they’re intentionally ruining company after company for their own profit – IOW, fucking up is a feature not a bug.

    We have a can-do spirit.

    As opposed to the GOP, who have a “won’t do while there’s a Democrat in the White House” spirit. I don’t think the GOP doesn’t give a fuck or think they don’t have a lot on the line. They care deeply about what goes on in Washington but have a fucked up agenda. They firmly believe that it’s better to wreck stuff now so they can get back in charge than to have a functioning country with the other party in power.

    @EconWatcher: Well, there’s the issues with CPS and the massive cutting and closing of schools. The battles with the teacher’s union, related to CPS funding. Snow plowing, and not doing it as well as Daley (you lived here, you know that’s an issue). The aftermath of the parking meter deal. Don’t think I can blame him for the Ventra debacle, but dammit he appointed Claypool to run CTA, and that whole thing was another sweetheart deal that’s just not worked well.

    Plus I never really thought he would be a good mayor, and voted for Del Valle in that election.

    @MikeJ:

    because he’s a really incompetent asshole, and he’s a self-serving one to boot.

    Read Charles’ Pierce on this – After Howard Dean rebuilt the Democratic party in the 2006 mid-terms, Emmanuel took all the credit for recapturing the house – which was actually due to Dean’s organizing.

    http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/rahm-emanuel-convention-speech-12386811

    to quote Pierce: “Perhaps the single most overrated political figure in the administration of two consecutive Democratic presidents,”

    Emmanuel just recruited a bunch of Blue Dogs; he threw money at his candidates, many of whom lost, and the rest of whom proceeded to vote with the GOP half the time. (cf: Schuler, Heath.

    also, Emmanuel supported Lieberman in Connecticut.

    Not to mention, as COS in the first Obama admin, turning the ACA over to Max Baucus to blow up in the Senate was Emmanuels idea. He also knee-capped the Public Option, and co-operated with a self-serving Washington Post piece, the gist of which that only Emmanuel was competent in the Obama White House.

    Nothing against assholes = just want them to be USEFUL assholes.

But Israel’s national security apparatus has concluded what I have observed. [Laughs.]’ Oh PLEASE – Rahm the dual passport Isreali-American, and his friends, are those who have made it impossible to ‘talk about it’ in any rational form. If you try to talk about Israel’s apartheid policies regarding the Palestinians, then you’re branded an anti-Semite. ‘You’re not allowed to here!’ Why Rahm? this is supposedly the country of free speech – so tell us Rahm, why aren’t we allowed to talk about ‘things that have already been talked about in Israel’? This is coming from a man who was only a few heartbeats away from two US presidents, but he ‘doesn’t want to talk about it’.

    When Emanuel said “you’re not allowed to talk about that here” he was stating a fact about the environment in the US, and it seemed pretty clear to me that he was saying that environment is wrong. It didn’t sound at all like he was saying you shouldn’t be able to talk about such things.

    But Israel’s national security apparatus has concluded what I have observed.

    Military establishments tend (not always true, tend to) deal in actual reality. Israel’s has the same problem that ours has…honest military assessments of situations often conflict with political fantasy. In the US, it’s the neocons who have fantasies. In Israel, it’s the Likudniks. I realize that that the overlap between those two groups is substantial, but anyhoo….

It’s also a curious criticism on your part, given that what he was saying amounted to a pretty thinly veiled criticism of the current Israeli government.

That there are things that American politicians “can’t say” because AIPAC throws shitfits if they do, and pointing out that a two state solution might just be the best of a whole series of bad options is one of the things that AIPAC will throw a conniption over. See Christie’s use of the words “occupied territories” in front of Sheldon Adelson, for example.

    @JGabriel: Rahm himself would be the first to admit it. There’s nothing wrong with being an asshole so long as good things come from it. If you piss off half the world but you cure cancer, then fuck half the world – they’ll get over the fact that you weren’t very nice solving the problem. But you sure as fuck better solve the problem if you expect them to get over it.

    That’s the difference between an asshole and a dick to my definition. A dick pisses people off for the sake of pissing them off – that’s the goal. An asshole usually has a larger goal, and pissing people off is just a side-effect. That goal might not be a positive one (Dick Cheney) or it might be a dubious one (Steve Jobs) or might be a noble one (Barack Obama) but everyone agrees they value some goal ahead of the feelings of the general public. And we don’t universally dislike assholes, because we recognize that it’s a symptom of someone with that kind of drive, but we need to support their goal in order to like them. Lots of musicians and movie stars are assholes, but we like their work, so they’re cool with us.

    True. I’m not big on Democrats screwing with the teacher’s union or other unionized employees, so I pretty much lean towards anti-Rahm on a lot of issues. On the other hand, he doesn’t back down when he disagrees with Republicans or get all wishy-washy, which I respect.

    I’m not overly fond of the ACA (wanted single-payer or at least a public option), but it’s helped a lot of people and it’s potentially a stepping stone to even better coverage. We’ve been trying to improve healthcare in this country since Truman, and Emmanuel helped push it through Congress.

    So, for the meantime, I withhold judgement.

    Rahm wanted to give up on the ACA after the Dems lost Ted Kennedy’s seat to Scott Brown. FLOTUS convinced POTUS to keep at it, thankfully.

    And as others have said above, as mayor of Chicago, he has consistently taken the side of the Big Money Boyz over the interests of average Chicagoans.

    Bingo.

    There you go.

    Nowadays, the alternative is always a Rand Paul or a Mitt Romney. The Republicans are so insane and so creepy that it gives the Democrats carte blanche to run the farthest-right plutocratic ass-kissing thugs they can, and this is exactly what’s gone wrong with the Democratic party.

    50 years ago Rahm Emanuel would have been considered a particularly savage and sociopathic Republican, judging by his policies. Today he qualifies as a leftist simply because he doesn’t publicly advocate biting the heads off live puppies.

    Today, every election is an emergency. Every electoral cycle is a do-or-die death struggle in which any Democrat put on the ballot (no matter how cruel and contemptuous of the bottom 80% of the population) must be elected or civilization will end, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria! Basically, the worst parts of the Old Testament.
