Rahm Emanuel is a pussy

Tue, 08/21/2007 - 12:07pm — lambert

Here's the QOTD, from the excellent Salon's review of Matt Bai's little book:

[Rahm] Emanuel snarls: "I have my knee on their vertebrae, and I'm not going to let up on the pressure until I hear the vertebrae snap."

What's that sound I hear?

It's not snapping vertabrae.

It's ***crickets***.

It's so nice and quiet, I think I'll sleep now.

Could we find a better epithet?

After all, the women who regularly post at Corrente probably have two or three times the balls Emanuel displays.

Just askin'.

I've tried

to find a better epithet, Sarah. And I agree with you.

But I'd like this to reach Rahm, so we must consider the intended audience ;-)
