Rahm Emanuel's naked thuggery

The most fun part about the White House's kneecapping of Rep. Eric Massa is watching Massa try to take out as many Democrats as possible on the way down. His latest target is Rahm Emanuel, about whom Massa told a very, um, revealing story on his radio show today.


That's a mental image nobody wants to live with. Rahm sounds like an LBJ-wannabe: President Johnson would often call meetings at the White House swimming pool and show up naked to intimidate his staff. In any case, if Massa has any more revealing or embarrassing stories about White House insiders, we enthusiastically encourage him to keep talking.

Even Obama's obesity program not safe from the SEIU

During his State of the Union speech, Barack Obama pledged to make your child's nutrition the federal government's business. To do this, he wants to revive Lyndon Johnson's Child Nutrition Act, which used taxpayer money to provide subsidized meals for 30 million children. The wasteful program was killed by Republicans during the 1990s.
It's also yet another kickback to Obama's allies at the SEIU. Michelle Malkin dug up this quote by SEIU Executive Vice President Mitch Ackerma: "A more robust expansion of school lunch, breakfast, summer feeding, child care and WIC (the federal Women, Infants and Children nutrition program) is critical to reducing hunger, ending childhood obesity and providing fair wages and healthcare for front line food service workers(emphasis added)."
The SEIU is embarking on a nationwide march to bring all American service workers under its control. It already represents tens of thousands of school lunch servers. With Barack Obama's anti-obesity sham in place, schools will need more of those servers...which can then fall prey to the SEIU.
