    I don't trust those eyes. Thankfully it looks like his basest instincts have been tranquilized down. I bet he still dreams of chasing Mitch McConnell around with a Rod Carew Louisville Slugger.

    The greatest trick that the old Rahm ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist. And understand this: Rahm Emmanuel is the most Chief of Staff ever to sit next to the Oval Office.

    I think Rahmy and Bamy are going to make everyone think they are talking softly but carrying big sticks.


    Because they are.

    @Mount_Prion: At least he has actually stabbed something, I think a table, so I'm guessing it's being used in that context. But still - it's jarring to see it in Gawker.

    @Mount_Prion: The "stabby" use refernces one of the most infamous Rahmbo stories:


    5. Knifing the Dinner Table


    The most infamous Rahmbo story of them all is the one that begins with the dinner the night after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. Among those present at the dinner table was ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, who watched while an overwrought and clearly exhausted Emanuel began ranting at a long list of Clinton "enemies." As he shouted each name, he stabbed the table with his steak knife: "Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead!" Apparently, others joined in.
