According to ABC News, Rahm Emanuel still isn’t talking about his communication with Rod Blagojevich … and reporters and being too mean to him!

The president-elect’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said today he won’t go to the Chicago presidential transition offices in order to avoid reporters trying to ask him whether he had contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama’s election.
Emanuel appeared “beet-red,” according to an ABC News cameraman who was invited inside by Emanuel to use his bathroom this morning.
“I’m getting regular death threats. You’ve put my home address on national television. I’m pissed at the networks. You’ve intruded too much, ” Emanuel said, according to the cameraman.
A spokesman for Emanuel said he later showed up at the office, apparently able to sneak out of the house without being seen by reporters waiting to ask him questions.
Is it just me, or could this whole hide-and-seek routine be called off if Emanuel would come clean and stop trying to “…avoid reporters trying to ask him whether he had contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama’s election.” I’m just saying…
Meantime, maybe the reporters should go a little easier on poor Rahm. It’s not like there is credible evidence that he spoke to Blagojevich about Obama’s vacated Senate seat, lied about it, and then stopped talking to the press.
On second thought, maybe Rahm should consider getting out of the kitchen since he apparently can’t take the heat.
Rahmbo? Not so much.

One thing that people haven’t really brought up is Rod Blagojevich is bad but not as bad as the guy in Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has said he wants to nuke Israel.
Why do I bring this up?
Well, I believe “the One” has asked Rod Blagojevich to resign, but Rod Blagojevich has refused.
So, if “the One” can’t get Rod Blagojevich to resign by just talking to him, how is he going to get Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give up his pursuit of nuclear weapons by just talking to him like he said he was going to do?
Either “the One” isn’t a persuasive as he claims to be or he really doesn’t want Rod Blagojevich to resign and has let him know that through back channels.
