He wasn’t kidding

He came to Rosa’s house and said, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

[Rahm] Emanuel is a multimillionaire, but lived for the last five years for free in the tony Capitol Hill townhouse owned by [Rep. Rosa] De Lauro and her husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg.

During that time, he also served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – which gave Greenberg huge polling contracts. It paid Greenberg’s firm $239,996 in 2006 and $317,775 in 2008. (Emanuel’s own campaign committee has also paid Greenberg more than $50,000 since 2004.)

And that ain’t all.  There’s the Freddie Mac connection too.  Rahm, we hardly knew ye . . .
