You got that right Doug! Even the Flagship leader of the former Judical Republican dream team of 06 got his rear whip by a former defense lawyer. Poor Rusty! You can't keep locking up Obama supporters and their lawyers and expect to get away with it with the standard name change.

In North Carolina, the name Duke gets mixed reactions.

You know what's funny is that some of the same conspiracy theorists who spread the Obama as secret Muslim nonsense have also claimed that Rahm Emanuel is a secret agent for the Mossad. It'll be interesting to see how those two are reconciled.

The whole West Wing parallel is funny too. The character of Josh Lyman was based on Emanuel while the character Matt Santos was based on Obama. In the show after his election Santos takes Lyman as his chief or staff, and now Obama has taken Emanuel. Go figure.

Don' worry Andrew! Joe the Plumber and Sara Palin are on top of this conspiracy theory and making sure it stays in Alaska and keeps Joe the Plumber on a phony republican payroll with a used 1984 Motor Home as a tour Crooked talk express to Polar Bears.


"In an interview with Ma’ariv, Emanuel’s father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son’s appointment would be good for Israel. "Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel," he was quoted as saying. "Why wouldn’t he be? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors of the White House."

The Ma’ariv article also quoted Dr. Emanuel as saying that his son spends most summers visiting in Tel Aviv, and that he speaks Hebrew, but not fluently.

Rahn Emanuel, these is the guy that said F***, all republicans, part of Obama reaching out to all Americans! Funny I have not read about move on dot org, bragging we raised 88 million dollars for Obama, we own him. Are the list of demands from all the far left extremist, that raised money for him. Funny I know more about Joe, than, I know about all the extremist, that have been a part of Hussein life. Are the fact that Acron, registered folks many times are even a 14 year old in NC. I guess that unimportant!
