Today's Daily Show episode felt goood. Stewart is so happy and he just can't hide it. And then, a commentator from Fox News comes on as the guest, and the friendly, but merciless mocking commences.

Rahm Israel Emanuel som stabssjef? Noen tanker?

Jeg vet egentlig ikke særlig mye om ham, men BORTSETT fra Israel, der han tilsynelatende er crazy-koo-koo regner de fleste ham som en meget liberal senator. Jeg så på hans OnTheIssues.org-profil og han virket fornuftig nok.

Sånn sett er det et interessant valg - Obama har preket bipartisanship konstant i fire år. Hans første og viktigste valg av medarbeider er av en ideologisk fyr med rykte på seg for å være tøff. Hva det varsler om Obama er usikkert, men det er interessant.

Forresten det eneste jeg husker om ham fra før av er at han skal være en del av materialet de brukte når de skrev Josh Lyman i The West Wing.

Men en ting dette gjør klart er at Midt-Østen seiler opp som et stort, stort problem for president Obama.

Wikipedia:

At this point of his political career he was known for his intensity. Notably, he reportedly told British Prime Minister Tony Blair, prior to Blair appearing in public with Clinton for the first time after the Lewinsky scandal, "This is important. Don't fuck it up."[10] Emanuel is said to have "mailed a rotting fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways."[9] On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name."[1] His "take-no-prisoners attitude" earned him the nickname "Rahm-bo".[9]

Pluss, han er tidligere ballettdanser.
