New Yorker Profiles Rahmbo

The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza profiles Rahmbo, "The Gatekeeper". Is his hair that white and crazed? Not yet anyway, give it time. Lizza senses a thick "atmosphere of crisis". I'll let you read it, it runs 6 pages.

But who knew he was a neat-freak? I'd say hide the knives but he probably has more sophisticated weaponry at hand these days. And I'm not talking about actual f-bombs.

P.S. Rahmbo argues he's the one who did the only deal that could be done on the porkulus bill--but the bigger bottom line is whether it was going to actually work or not. He may have experience in the legislative world, but not the real one. The president in his inauguration speech said Americans want a government that works. This team seems to have lost sight of that already.
