Endeavor’s Ari Emanuel may soon have a sibling in a higher place. Today’s political news is filled with speculation that Ari’s brother Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. representative who helped engineer the Democratic takeover of Congress, is Barack Obama’s first choice for White House chief of staff in the event of a win. Ari isn’t talking about it. (Watch video of all the Emanuel Bros on Charlie Rose here.)

Maybe that’s a good thing for Ari and Endeavor. Somehow, I think very good.
this post is like deciding what victory route the patriots were going to take on their parade before playing the super bowl last year.
“Say it isn’t so Joe” – Great, just what Ari’s ego needs -if it happens, you know he will be even more pleasant to deal with than usual. Rahm’s track record is about is prominent as Sarah Palin’s.
Let’s tax it out, bitch!
He’s in the leadership of the house and could be in line to be Speaker in a few years. He’d be crazy to even think about leaving for anything less than a Cabinet-level position.
If this all comes to pass, this will end up as the most cynical, self-serving, bought-and-paid-for-with-us-or-against-us administration in American History. No wonder we’re going down the tubes! We’re not in Kansas anymore… Everyone should run out and rent “Mephisto”.
Andrew, you are right on. That is hysterical.
I think Jeremy Piven would be a better fit for a Democratic position…….

This would have been more appropriate in 2000.
IF he gets it – he will be gone in less than a year with the current global turmoil -
If this is true I will be voting for John McCain. Sorry but I don’t want Hollywood involved in anyway with the President ie; CLINTON. Done with the kiss ass politics.
Is it just me or they all super sexy?
Ezekiel and Rahm are the real deal: brilliant and competent far beyond the curve, and extremely significant contributors in their respective fields. Only envy can speak badly of them. We are all lucky to have them involved in some of the most important, er, ah, endeavors of our current times.
And he was, and he accepted.
Let’s hope he leaves the dead fish and steak knives at his favorite sushi restaurant.
