In a shocking development, I went with the "So-and-so Resigns" headline again!
Rahm Emanuel has officially resigned his seat in the House of Representatives. In a delicious bit of irony, he did so in a letter to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. From NYT:
Although earlier drafts of the resignation letter are unavailable, Political Machine's forensics team have managed to reconstruct one using a variety of techniques.

Rahm Emanuel has officially resigned his seat in the House of Representatives. In a delicious bit of irony, he did so in a letter to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. From NYT:
"As sons of immigrants to this country, you and I have a deep appreciation for the opportunities America provides to those who are willing to work hard and sacrifice for their children," wrote Mr. Emanuel, who won the seat in 2002. "As a member of the next administration in Washington, I will strive to maintain and expand that opportunity for all families, because the chance to work hard and build a better life is the principle that unites all Americans."I know he's resigning to become Barack Obama's Chief of Staff, but I really wish he'd think about becoming an undercover crime-buster.

Blago,
This is Rahm (expletive)ing Emanuel. Remember me? The guy who tried to reason with you about that open senate seat? Hey, (expletive)-o, how's my "appreciation" sound now?
I (expletive)ing quit. Here's hoping my (expletive)ing replacement doesn't need a (expletive)ing PayPal account.
Rahm out!

Darn, I was hoping he had resigned from the Obama cabinet! I guess we will just have to wait a little longer for that to happen. But, I have Hope that the time will come really quickly after Blago starts singing. Then we will see him Change.

As a person of color, I think this is strictly SATIRE. I am not affended. It may be inappropriate,somewhat, but This is what the messiah whose name is OBAMA will have to live with. All other Presidents have had this happen to them. Does he think he's a real G-D or the slobbering media may think he is. You see, I am not impressed by Obama. He's a slick dude that conned his way to the white house, he also made the media swoon and put them on a HOPE high; as well as uninformed college students and a lot of black folks.

Cate - I doubt that you have described yourself accurately. If it sounds like a troll and writes like a troll, it is 99% sure that it is a troll. Get a life and be yourself - or maybe you don't like yourself?!
Tommy, this article was delivered very awkwardly. Sounded more like sensationalism than satire. You are better than that.

I must confess, when I spotted the Blog, I did feel a-bit-of-a-rush. I have mixed felings about Rahmbo.
One thing is for sure though, he will definatley spice things up in days to come.

Rahm Emmanuel needs to resign from Obama's White House position too. Mr. Emmanuel is a dual citizen. How can we expect someone who holds Israeli citizenship to be anything but slanted on current pressing issues?
Not to mention Emmanuel's father was a terrorist leader in the Jewish underground Irgun. The Irgun assassinated UN ambassadors, kidnapped and lynched British police, bombed trains and train depots, and culminated in blowing up the King David hotel.
Emmanuel's father named him after a "martyred" Irgun member named Rahamim.
Emmanuel isn't the 1st or 50th Israeli citizen who holds an official cabinet post. Everyone from Atty General Mukasey to Homeland Security Chief Chertoff are dual nationals.
It's time we put America first.

WOW talk about hate.. Don't know about the facts of Rahm dont care for anyone that intimadates people by sending them dead things. Obviously he has seen to many movies. Other than that he reminds me of a nazi during Hitlers time, and I guess "O" needs someone like that to get over with his agenda of socialism.
He will be good at that much.

Wow the response about being Jewish is unreal. Personaly I think hes his own man and does not even think about Israel. He reminds me more of a Nazi under Hitler which is a good thing cause he can send more dead things to people when they rebel against the socialist views and plans of "O"

When I read these comments I truly become SAD. History has proven every generation has had its pretense of broad minds honestly believing the word but not through their actions. Brothrhood is just a word. Mark Twain said it best."beautiful on the surface, but cheap,base, and tarnished underneath"
