David Axelrod: So, Mr. Emmanuel, youse took part in dat conference call wit Blagojevich? And da governor was bumpin’ his gums da whole time about sellin’ a senate seat, and yez didn’t say nuttin' to nobody about it?
Rahm Emmanuel: I tell yez, Mr. Axelrod, I was dat shocked by da whole ting dat I was speechless. I jus’ hadda take some aspirin and go tuh bed for a few days. Never before had I ever saw such dishonest hijinx in politics. Between me and youse, it really horrified me, completely underminded my fait’ in democracy. In fact, it was very like a nightmare.
Axelrod: So’s it could be da whole ting was jus’ a dream, couldn’t it Mr. Emmanuel? Maybe youse wasn’t even dere, actually. Or maybe youse was so trogmatized ya got magnesia.
Emmanuel: Now dat youse mention it, Mr. Axelrod, I tink ya got some’n dere. I’m tinkin’ back, and I’m wonderin’ if I wasn’t maybe actually at church dat afternoon, or maybe even deliverin’ baskets of fruit to one a dem ol’ folks’ homes. Yeh, now my memory’s startin’ to come back on da subject, I believe I wasn’t on dat conference call at all; must-a been some other goon. I guess it was jus’ my imagination playin’ tricks on my sensitive sub-conscience. Tanks, Mr. Axelrod, for clearin’ up dat business.
Axelrod: Oh, no sweat at all, Mr. Emmanuel. Jus’ one hand washin’ de other; ya know, “no bless o-bleach” an’ all dat.
The New York Times reporter, Paco Paco, nails it as usual.
