Today has been rife with coverage on White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's degree of influence in the Oval Office. See this, this, this, this, this and this (from a week ago). No real comment on this at the moment, but after seeing all of these articles and the accompanying pictures of Emanuel, one thing stuck out in my mind: Boy, does he look like Vincent Curatola, the actor that plays Johnny Sack on The Sopranos. Photo evidence:
And hey, they even share similar anecdotes:
- Phil Leotardo: Jesus Christ...that's like forty grand. You gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me, John.
- Johnny Sack: Am I smilin'?
- Johnny Sack: You either deliver that prick to my door, or I will rain a shitstorm down on you and your family like you have never fucking seen.
- Johnny Sack: You know somethin' Ralph, not only are you a thief, you're a lying fucking prick. I should've let Tony chop your head off a year ago.
- Rahm Emanuel: [You liberal activists are] fucking retarded.
I rest my case. Rahm Emanuel = Johnny Sack.
