Rahm Emanuel to Romney: ‘If You Can’t Stand up to Rush, How Are You Going to Stand up to Russia?

I might not agree with the football quarterback/sniper analogy, I think my point stands. He would almost be more useful to our side if he were a republican that constantly sold out their positions and adopted liberal language and policy positions to 'win elections.'

I won't bother with an analogy and most of what I wrote is backed up by primary and secondary sources discussing the way that Rahm plays the game of politics. He is never there for the progressive side of the party and does his level best to shut us out of positions repeatedly. He was a terrible choice as Chief of Staff and if Suskind's book is to be believed then it is quite possible that had he not managed to slide into the race for Mayor of Chicago then he might have ended up being booted from his lofty perch for alienating too many people.

He seems to have few principles or ideals.
