Newsweek's Reporting on Rahm Emanuel

Here's Johnathan Alter of Newsweek on Rahm Emanuel:
Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment.
Here's the Chicago Tribune on Rahm Emanuel:
During an April 21 appearance last year on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher," Emanuel did not equivocate when asked whom he would support.

"I'm supporting Hillary Clinton. I'm public about it," Emanuel responded.
