And Chicago.<\/p><p>Now, we learn the details of a connection of <strong>Rahm Emanuel<\/strong>, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer.<\/p><p>Shortly after Obama's happy inaugural,  eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. <strong>Rosa DeLauro<\/strong> of Connecticut and her husband, <strong>Stanley Greenberg<\/strong>. <\/p><p>Greenberg's consulting firm was a prime architect of BP's recent  rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and  the slogan \"<strong>B<\/strong>eyond <strong>P<\/strong>etroleum.\" <\/p><p>Greenberg's  company is also closely tied to a sister Democratic outfit -- GCS,  named for the last initials of Greenberg, <strong>James Carville,<\/strong>  another Clinton advisor, and <strong>Bob Shrum<\/strong>, <strong>John  Kerry'<\/strong>s 2004 campaign manager.<\/p><\/blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefoxnation.com\/bp\/2010\/06\/07\/rahm-emanuel-lived-5-years-rent-free-bp-adviser-s-home\">Fox Nation<\/a> also has more on this story.
