2. I got one wrong...about the cheesecake!
I am such a political junkie, maybe I need to get out more. By the way, love the pic of Rahmbo with his kids. Even he has a tender side.

8. I guessed that one because Eli's is a famous Chicago cheesecake place...
.
.

I've never been to Chicago (unless you count the airport)... but I have sent my mom an Eli's cheesecake on her birthday a few times.

They're also the place that made that MASSIVE cheesecake which was flown into D.C. for the inauguration!

It's amazing what one learns without realizing it.

5. My wife is in love with him
and so are her 2 closest friends. They act like 1960's groupies when they talk about him. Thanks for the quiz. She will surely enjoy it.

9. 70% (missed three)
Though admittedly, I got two of the other answers from the previous posts in this thread. The last question was a total crap shoot.... I figured Rahm, being Jewish, probably wouldn't send lobsters, but being from Chicago, might go for the pizza. Turned out to be cheesecake.

(Now I just gave someone else a free answer :) )

14. 70%; thought for sure it'd be Lou Malnotti pizza---I also have a personal connection to Rahm
Edited on Sat Feb-14-09 06:26 PM by abq e streeter
although never met him....His dad was my pediatrician when I was a young 'un. Odder still, is that I also have a personal connection to the last Democratic chief of staff too, despite my not being very personally involved in politics outside of staying knowledgeable, and the occasional local ( New Mexico) volunteering . John Podesta was an undergrad buddy of mine. Haven't been in contact with him in over 30 years, but in college he was a great guy, and a seriously keen intellect, even though I disagree with him on his seemingly fierce devotion to the Clintons. Not a big Rahm fan either; too corporate DLC from what I can see. But I trust Obama (???) to know what he's doing in having picked Rahm for that position.
