Rahm Emanuel Is The New Bob Haldeman

When he was chief of staff to Richard Nixon, H.R. Haldeman once said: “Every president needs a son of a bitch and I’m Nixon’s.” Rahm Emanuel, the pugnacious and occasionally foul-mouthed Democratic congressman from Illinois, can easily be imagined muttering something similar after accepting the same job from Barack Obama on Thursday.

Got something to say?
