The Right Choice
Todd Purdum on Rahm Emanuel:
He doesn’t piss people off for the sake of scoring debating points or
asserting his purity. He pisses people off because he cares about
things, and sometimes pushes too hard. He lives by an old saying
prevalent in F.D.R.’s Washington: “Keep all the balls in the air
without losing your own.”
He's still an asshole. But assholes often get things done. And his brother, Zeke, knows more about healthcare than most mortals can absorb without a brain-freeze. (I went to grad school with Zeke and found him insufferable too. A good person and very brilliant, but, man, a pain in the ass.)
