What's the news on Rahm Emanuel bill on cutting funding for the VP office? |
|
There is nothing on his website, not even a mention of his statement. http://www.house.gov/emanuel/index.shtml

1. Crickets? Why wouldn't he mention this on his site? |
|
Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) plans to introduce an amendment to the the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to cut funding for Cheney's office. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Democrats_plan_to_cut_Cheney_out_0623.html

2. My guess is he was being facetious. |
|
He has no plans to do what he said, he was making fun of Cheney.

4. OK, nothing like empty threats |
|
Maybe he will keep his word and not sell it to the highest bidder.

8. I called his office. . |
|
and I said I had read what he suggested, and that I thought it was an elegant idea, and that even though I'm not one of his constituents, I would be watching the internet and his web page for what kind of follow-up there would be. . . and I was just as perky and pleasant and encouraging as any brand new Democrat could be.

9. Thanks and I would encourage others to call |

You are such a diplomat. I'm a little to "fair and balanced" in my temper right now about him.

10. Diane Feinstein said on Sunday Show....it's something we might look into... |
|
when asked about Rahm's comment. Of course she's Senate...so she can't cut funding unless Rahm introduces it.

14. No news, but I hear he's picking up some undeserved 'street cred'. |
|
Which is the point of all this talk anyway.
