Video...Rahm Emmanuel says he's Going after Cheney this week,cutting Executive Funds!

[KoKo]

Tweety says: "Cheeney's going to win this thing...He wins EVERYTHING" and Rahm replies: "You forgot one thing, Chris, ...The American People." (initial caps my own for emphasis)....SO...who is correct on this? I didn't hear Rahm call for a petition.

1. Link is fixed...

[rocktivity]

2. That's almost funny, coming from him

Rahm hasn't listened to the American people so far. Howard Dean's fifty-state strategy (which I hope he plans to extend to the Senate races in '08) is the ONLY reason Rham is now sitting so pretty. I'd love it if a good progressive ran against him!

On edit: the fixed link is now fixed, LOL!

3. yep. he's blustering, bluffing & getting a little face time. he was

smirking--and my impression was that he didn't even believe in what he was doing in spite of his tough talk.

[KoKo]

4. Have to say...he didn't seem credible...and Tweety did go after him pinning him down

but Rahm was just Rahm. I don't know what he's thinking if he doesn't follow through that the Dem base will think about this. :shrug:

[rocktivity]

8. But seriously, folks, I would rather see the Dems try this and fail

than do nothing at all. If we end up going into '08 with a thousand things that the Rethugs have filibustered and vetoed, well, then let them try to run on it!

13. It is not on his official website if that tells you anything

[Moochy]

14. Stuntman Emmanuel

Pulls a Stunt. We are not amused. And in RELATED news, he declared today emphatically and authoritatively on HARDBALLS that there would be no Impeachment. Apparently regardless of what Bush and Cheney have done, or will do in the next year and a half...

[orleans]

16. yeah, i caught that too. and that fucking smirk. what a dickhead. n/t

[Lost4words]

5. I cant tell the dems from the pukes anymore! DLC = GOP

I no longer have any faith the establishment dems will do anything other than protect their own interests.

Been down this road, again and, again and again, nothing ever changes the outcome.

[mmonk]

6. I'm sure Cheney is wetting his pants.

With laughter.

[havocmom]

15. Exactly! Chump change to the man who boosted the entire US Treasury

Wow, a threat to take away some money... just part of the cost of doin business in America doin America in.

[karlrschneider]

7. I saw it. He'll get about as much support as a busted jockstrap with that.

...

[WinkyDink]

9. Rahm is all hot air. He said no to impeaching The Dick.

[Rydz777]

10. I'm ready for deeds, not words. Especially empty words. eom

[u2spirit]

11. Let me know when it actually happens

until then, Rahm is just bloviating. I'm tired of threats and hearings, impeach the bastards already. Even a full third of conservatives don't give a shit about the Shrub and his admin anymore.

[Moochy]

18. He's already said this is a stunt

translation of his DLC-doublespeak: he's lying about actually doing this.

[Webster Green]

12. Cheney can just send himself a shrink-wrapped pallet of cash..

He's almost wiped out the national treasury already, and Rahm can't do shit about it!

[radfringe]

17. screw the fund cut

hit him with subpoenas. cheney claimed executive privilege when asked for documents regarding his energy group meetings. At that time the rubber-stamping republics dropped the request and bowed to the claim of executive privilege

if cheney is NOT part of the executive branch - he can't claim executive privilege. this also means his staff cannot be shielded behind executive privilege.

[Nikki Stone1]

19. Tweety: It ain't about winning. It's about US law. (Get your head out of your ass.)
