The Emanual Brothers with Charlie Rose

Phil at Progressive Alaska has criticized Ethan Berkowitz for taking money from Rahm Emanual's PAC, saying things like:
As I've written about here before, the PAC "reads like a "who's who" list of supporters of war with Iran, defenders of the worst aspects of our health care industry, opponents of net neutrality, and enablers of the financial deregulation that allows hedge fund managers to be taxed very little, and who helped engineer the sub-prime mortgage industry meltdown.
This Charlie Rose's June 16, 2008 interview with Rahm and his two brothers doesn't get into the issue of the PAC. Rose says he wants to talk about health care and the Emanual family. Except for a bit at the end, it's not about health care, just the family. Obviously Rose knows these people and isn't probing or challenging on anything close to the issues Phil is concerned with, but the video does give us some background on Rahm and his family. And I found it a lively and interesting show.
