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.
