Going out on a limb here regarding Emanuel's death threats.

Is it even possible that he's getting them because Blago has friends in the bizness who think that Emanuel turned in their boy?

1. Blago is the beginning. There is a ton of corruption.. Pay to Play isn't something

Blago made up to help himself out. Its normal everyday Chicago shit.. actually, its everyday politician shit. Look at Bush, he's by far worse than Blago. Heck of a Job Brownie ring a bell. The reason he's getting death threats is because Blago is holding out for a plea deal.. he will rat to save his ass. There are a lot of players in the game that could end up in jail. If they think Rahm started it, then he's probably got a mob hit against him.

2. Why not?

He looks and acts like a caricature of a character from a mobster movie. They should have cast this guy instead of Deniro as Capone in "The Untouchables". The only thing missing is the black derby hat.

3. Emanuel has denied that death threat stuff, I believe

4. Could he be a bit of a drama queen?

6. Well, honestly.

I'm not dealing with the Blago level of power and the power hitters around my area terrify me to the point of interfering with the enjoyment of life and community. It's Chicago. There's no telling what makes Blago so arrogant. If it's because he has good fella friends, I'd be scared too.
