Democrats, what say you about the claims of "Chicago Thug Politics" by Rham Emanuel by Congressman Massa?

I'm from Chicago and I can tell you that eventually you get used to it.

But once they execute all their naysayer Capone-style and institute a permanent monarchy, things'll settle down to more less-violent measures.

Just ask King Daley, former mayor of Chicago.

Washington policy actors are more dramatic than Hollywood people. Rham was naked and wet when he ran up to Massa in the Congressional showers and started stroking his chest hair as he reprimanded him on his naughty voting behavior. Give me a break, people. You know there was some gay sex after they calmed down. The power players in Washington love gay sex, and the Congressional shower is like the contemporary Roman bath house.

Trust me, people, the stroking of chest hair while the two stared at each other in naked abandon was not the end of that encounter.

Massa has something to hide. It makes no sense. If you're just being threatened, as he claims, you don't quit. You bring it to light, then say "F You!" to whomever is doing it.

The only reason you quit if you know you're being investigated , and you know they have evidence of it, and you don't want it to get messy. It's an attempt at a CYA move.

Well that's just it, we can't assume he is telling the truth nor lying. If more facts come out, then we'll see.

Are you kidding?

I guess you don't know anything about politics then.

You should go to the "sugar & spice & everything nice" section of YA!

The democrats getting rid of a homophobic proof reader is pretty thin news day.

Rahmbo and John Gotti - separated at birth....

Rahmbo sent a dead fish to as pollster who didn't please him... Al Capone is smiling.

Its politics. Do you REALLY think that kind of stuff doesn't go on? You can't be that naive.

Neocon, I say that this is yesterdays news.
