-SPAN recently rebroadcast a 2005 celebrity roast of Emanuel, in which both Hillary Clinton and Obama take on their fiery old friend.

The roast was held at a fundraiser hosted by Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy. On the agenda was Emanuel's unusual name, and even more so, his famous temper.
