More Tales From the Congressional Gym: Rahm Gave Issa the Finger
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 12:03 PM
When Rahmbo is not threatening naked men in the shower at the Congressional Gym, he’s giving political opponents the finger.
The Hill reported:
Issa, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has been a thorn in the side of the Obama administration on many issues, particularly on claims that that the White House offered Senate candidates jobs to get out of primaries against candidates backed by the White House.
In a profile, the New York Times detailed Issa’s claim that Emanuel gave him the middle finger:
As a sign of the pride Representative Darrell Issa takes in annoying the Obama administration, consider his account of a recent exchange with Rahm Emanuel, a former congressman and now the White House chief of staff. In describing the episode — a chance encounter outside the House gym — Mr. Issa smirked and raised his middle finger.
“That’s the only thing Rahm did when he saw me,” Mr. Issa, a California Republican, boasted in an interview in his House office. He waved the unfriendly digit in the air like a trophy before folding it into a nub (to mimic Mr. Emanuel, who lost part of his finger in a long-ago meat-cutting accident).
The piece describes Issa as President Barack Obama’s “Annoyer-in-Chief.” Emanuel denied that the incident ever happened.

We used to have a Jack Russell Terrier named Max. If I were to picture Satan having a pet it would be Max. That was his real name, but most often he went by “You little A– Hole” That’s who the Rhamster reminds me of.

Rham overcompensates for his unfortunate stature and his ballerina dancin days.

That picture gives coffee a bad name.

Actually, I think he makes that coffee looks more feminine.
Only hothead juveniles flip people off, well lying crooks too.

And Rahm is the moderate member of the administration.
daryl commented:
So Rahm is the one who gave Brack that filthy habit of shooting the finger at anyone annoying him. Might have known.
Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be leftists. You’ll only leave yourself open to huge disappointment.
DocScience commented:
The REALLY bad thing about children is that they do irrational and often destructive things when they are angry.
And it’s really difficult to come up with the name of an adult in the Obama inner circle.

Huh?! This sentence reads like Mr. Issa raised HIS middle finger to Rahmbo.
Let’s get this clear, please. Did Rahm raise his middle finger, or did Issa? It may seem like a semantics or inane question, but it matters – if our words are not clear, then we have nothing left. “Words – just words” do matter – to Republicans and Conservatives.

“In describing the episode — a chance encounter outside the House gym — Mr. Issa smirked and raised his middle finger.
“That’s the only thing Rahm did when he saw me,”
Issa is describing (demonstrating) what Rahm did to him.
Freddy commented:
This is exactly the kind of reporting that ‘The Hill’ is famous for. The headline and story are all twisted up to protect the guilty.
No doubt the underlying story about Emanuel is not very flattering, so ‘The Hill’ puts out this twisted version to confuse people. Somewhere down the road, The Hill will pretend it was a simple honest mistake they accidentaly made. Or maybe they will just ‘fix’ the story later on w/o any mention.

Issa is doing the most important job right now. He should investigate all these chicago thugs occupying the WH.
Joel commented:
If it’s okay for Obama, why not Emanuel?
The main stream media givings out another pass.

Twinletoes sure does spend an awful lot of time in the men’s lockeroom. I wonder if that’s like McGreevey trolling all the public restrooms along the Nerw Jersey turnpike.

Ahhhh the fickle finger of fate! Mr Issa you deserve a contribution for the amazing way you managed to communicate with Rambozo!

I believe Rahm and Hussein play around in the shower on those Thursday Night White House sorees. Rahm may have given a signal to Issa that Hussein automatically understand to drop to his knees for his master Rahm. But Issa does not play that cr*p, hommie.
