Rahm Emanuel Is Toast
Economic Policy Journal ^ | 2/21/10 | Robert Wenzel

Posted on 02/22/2010 2:17:40 PM PST by FromLori

It looks Rahm Emanuel is done. Dana Milbank transcribed an article written by Rahm Emanuel today in The Washington Post. Never has an article been more clearly written to support a political benefactor.

As I was reading the article lavishing praise on Rahm Emanuel and throwing dirt on everyone else inside the White House, I kept thinking two things. First, how many leaks has Rahm given Milbank over the years? How much do they love each other? Milbank gets a cherished inside source so he can seem like he's got the scoop on what's happening in DC and Rahm gets a hatchet man that'll write whatever he tells him to, I mean whatever he leaks to him as "important inside information."

My second thought was, "Wow, what a hatchet job on Jarrett, Gibbs and Axelrod!" Since Rahm is obviously feeding this to Milbank, that is very revealing. You don't throw these kinds of bombs unless you've already lost. This is an act of desperation. It's bound to make mortal enemies of these people inside Obama's inner circle. You can't really work with these people anymore. That means you're already finished there.

Read the rest here.

Wow, maybe we’ll get to watch the whole administration collapse in real-time.

It would be fun to see Rahm, the biggest RAT, scurrying off the ship.

It is just a shot across their bow. Emmanuel plays Chicago politics.

Gee. Maybe some serious infighting is about to get started like has been seen before in, oh, I dunno...

Germany, maybe? Or the Politburo.

He will be removed from all the White House pictures, just like uncle joe did.

When this scum of an administration is out of office (hopefully Jan. ‘13)... I bet it is going to take more than replacing missing “W”s on key boards to get the Executive Office Bldg. and the West wing back in working order... the socialists thugs currently roaming those halls would probably burn the place down before seeing conservative adults running the country.

Well, I can believe that there’s a civil war going on as to who’s to blame for Obama’s bad performance. (Not Obama, of course. Never Obama.)

But I wouldn’t be too sure who’ll get the axe.

Obama can’t let Rahm go without a deal—Rahm has the goods on him.
