Rahm Emanuel is a great pick for one reason and one reason alone

[Monty__]

Ok, there are other reasons too, but this is the best

Edit: Before there is more mass confusion, that is the actor Bradley Whitford who played Josh Lyman on the West Wing. Josh Lyman's character was based on Emanuel.

1. And a nice arse, too. Very important. Great pick for TWO reasons!

However, Rahm is a pro-bush-invasioner.

And imo that cancels everything.

24. Got a pic from that angle? nt

[goodgd_yall]

2. That's him?

I thought he was better looking than that. Really, I'm serious.

[Lumpsum]

9. No.

That's the CoS from The West Wing.

[goodgd_yall]

13. That's what I thought

I don't watch much TV.

Here's a link to the real deal: www.men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_5251

3. WHAT THE HECK

[Bucky]

4. He's fictional?

By that logic, Barack Obama is a qualified Marine fighter pilot.

[blonndee]

5. Isn't that some actor?

I don't get it.

[Bucky]

10. The composite character Josh Lyman was based in part on Rahm Emanuel

The actor depicted is the one who played Josh on "30 Rock"

[Metric System]

17. I think you mean The West Thing.

[Sukie]

6. Not Rahm. But cute. nt

[leeno]

7. Reason: Because Obama picked him

If I trust him enough to be Prez then I certainly trust his ability to make the right picks

[Bobbie Jo]

20. Exactly....I thought I might let him do job first.

however....I still don't see how Obama ran his campaign and managed to get elected without our expert advice.

:sarcasm: (for the ironically impaired)

8. I am sorry, I don't get what Bradley Whitford has to do with Rahm Emmanuel. n/t

[Monty__]

12. The character of Josh Lyman was based on Emanuel

and Josh was my favorite West Wing character.

[Sukie]

16. Oh good. Thought someone was going out of their mind

and it could have been me. :7

[Sukie]

11. The real Rahm.

[Monty__]

14. Yes I know

see my post above. sorry for the confusion, guess there aren't as many West Wing fans as I thought :)

[goodgd_yall]

15. Now that's hot. n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

18. Lol.

[chelsea0011]

19. The pick pissed off Rep. Boehner?

[liberalmuse]

21. In a dream administration...

Emmanuel just looks like a Chief of Staff. At least that was my thought. Now, after your posting that picture, I know why, LOL.

[Metta]

22. Only Josh Lymon had a heart.

Which R.A. needs to still get.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

23. Obama coming out of the blocks strong with the Emanuel pick. Hope he snags RFK for EPA.
