Rahm Emanuel, Captivating Energy Orb Oversee Passage of Illinois Civil Unions

by Jack Stuef  10:46 am February 1, 2011

Don't stare at him! He doesn't like it when you stare!
It is interesting that in a few short years, a very large state legalizing civil unions is now minor news. Anyway, here is phantom-eyed new Illinois resident Rahm Emanuel at the gay after-party, pictured with friend Unsettling Sentient Orb of Pure Energy, celebrating his new state’s basic human decency, via Wonkette operative “Gregg K.”

My gaydar is alerting on that orb, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gah! The massive sideways stretchy photo of Rahm is much more unsettling than that orb!

It is the Orb of Weather Heck. It brings evil Canadian Snow, not the polite Southern Snow that visits for a day, gives you enough snow to pack the ol' Tokemaster, then leaves the next day.

God may love the Land of Lincoln, but the Orb of Weather Heck politely hates us all.

Orb of energy, gravity control (the picture is oriented properly, they're all standing on the "wall"), glowing eyes – yup, the Lizard People are controlling things here.

That orb, (and huge photo!) are fucking retarded.

DoktorZoom February 1, 2011 at 11:10 am

Scary– I thought the "127 Hours" ad was back.

ifthethunderdontgetya February 1, 2011 at 11:10 am

Orbs are OK.

It's Rahmbo that worries me.

Gah, what did you do with that picture? At first I thought Wonkette had a new one of those giant background ads, like the Siemens.

natoslug February 1, 2011 at 12:50 pm

It's not Siemens, but they're still trying to Rahm it down our throats. I'm not swallowing.

I'm going to assume it's the Shame Orb, who livens up any party. However, why he's paired with Rahm is beyond me, as everyone knows that the only emotions Rahm Emmanuel is capable of are Rage, and Profanity.

BaldarTFlagass February 1, 2011 at 11:58 am

Is profanity an emotion? If so, I am overwrought.

Sophist [APPLESAUCE] February 1, 2011 at 12:13 pm

Profanity isn't an emotion, it is a state of being, an ethos, a way of life. Like Amway.

mumbly_joe February 1, 2011 at 12:16 pm

Well, the way Rahm does it, at least.

natoslug February 1, 2011 at 12:51 pm

So what products do I have to push if I join Rahmway?

Sophist [APPLESAUCE] February 1, 2011 at 12:57 pm

Socialism, mid-priced gin, and bottomless rage.

harry_palmer February 1, 2011 at 11:16 am

That's Rahm just after he obliterated one of his mayoral opponents with a frickin lazer beam.

lolcas February 1, 2011 at 11:58 am

That's Rahm after he obliterated a bottle of gin. He has serious drunkface in that photo.

Unsettling Sentient Orb of Pure Energy

Alvin Greene has completed his Metamorphosis.

"Unsettling Sentient Orb of Pure Energy"
Now that civil unions are taken care of, can the "ORB" concentrate on getting the Cubs to win the World Series?

imissopus February 1, 2011 at 11:55 am

Who posted that photo? Are you fucking retarded?

BaldarTFlagass February 1, 2011 at 12:01 pm

Can't see the whole orb, so we are assuming that this is an orb. Could be an ovoid though. However, given my experience with these newfangled digital camera contraptions, my guess is that it's Wonkette Operative Gregg K's thumb.

Sophist [APPLESAUCE] February 1, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Look to Your Orb for the Warning Gay Nuptials.

MinAgain February 1, 2011 at 12:31 pm

This article leaves unanswered the burning question, "Sure, but can orbs marry in Illinois?"

assistantatlas February 1, 2011 at 12:59 pm

Maybe it's just his natural expression (probably) but Rahm looks like he's about to tell the Orb to go fuck itself with its dick of Pure Energy.

This fucking guy. This fucking guy is gonna be a great fucking mayor of fucking Chicago.

Tommmcatt February 1, 2011 at 2:58 pm

I thought it was a picture of a banana slug at first.

BaldarTFlagass February 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm

Is it Roy Orb-ison? I thought he was dead.

MozakiBlocks February 1, 2011 at 4:24 pm

Outstanding "alt-text" there Jack.

XOhioan February 1, 2011 at 4:52 pm

That's Rahm's new advisor, the Burning Publicist.

ttommyunger February 1, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Slow day at the Wonkette Headquarters?

fuflans February 1, 2011 at 7:43 pm

rahm has been busy spending his pre-mayoral days sending me e-mails explaining what to do in a blizzard.

Jack Stuef February 1, 2011 at 8:00 pm

Oh.

Bonzos_Bed_Time February 2, 2011 at 1:02 pm

It's the Lock-Nar.

jqheywood February 1, 2011 at 4:44 pm

Okay, I can understand the socialism and mid-priced gin, but why do I have to rage against bottomless people?

HuddledMass February 15, 2011 at 3:13 pm

I'm in.
