F*** Rahm Emanuel!

According to Naftali Bendavid, Rahm Emanuel has a colorful way with one particular word.

Signing off a phone conversation with a candidate, Emanuel says: ?Don?t **** it up or I?ll **** you. I?ll kill you. All right, I love you. Bye.?

?In my house, when you say **** you, it?s a sign of endearment.?

On election night, he shouts to a boisterous celebration that ?the Republicans can go **** themselves.?

He refers to Washington as ?****nutsville? and to an opponent as ?knuckle****s.?

To a reporter: ?Don?t rat**** me!?

I hope Emanuel doesn't completely clean up his language now that he's Obama's Chief of Staff -- along with the president-elect's gift for soaring oratory, it'll help make this one of the the most linguistically accomplished administrations ever.
