The dude is a legend. I've never met anyone who doesn't have an, ahem, healthy respect for Rahm Emanuel.
My favorite quote about him (and I'm a Howard Dean fan) was in Matt Bai's book THE ARGUMENT,
When Emanuel, a trained ballet dancer, heard that Dean was actually sending the party's money not only to Alaska and Hawaii, but also to local Democrats in the US Virgin Islands, it made him want to dig a steel toe into Dean's skull. A onetime Iaraeli army volunteer and then an enforcer for Bill Clinton Emanuel spoke in violent bursts of shrapnel, profanities flying in all directions.
That has to be my favorite quote about any human being. Wow. What a presence he must be.
