Rahm n' Noodles
There are no noodles. I just wanted to make a pun.
Anyway, Rahm Emanuel has apparently accepted the Chief of Staff job. On the one hand (the bigger hand), I really dig this. I like Rahm, and I think it's very smart to immediately slap down a Jewish guy in a high-profile position. That ought to (at least for about 12 seconds) shut up the Barack Heart the P.L.O. crowd.
On the other hand, he's kind of a fiery guy, and that breaks a little with the Obama tradition to date. Also, he's always struck me as more of a policy/advisory dude -- though I guess that is part of C.O.S. Anyway, I'm sure O will choose a pretty diverse cabinet that will have a little something for everyone.
