I don’t think that it is the sole reason. But Batchelor’s article makes it sound like the GOP is a bunch of 12 year olds who are having a playground feud - irresponsible.
He is not doing the Republicans any favors by publishing this stuff - at least not with Americans who are more interested in the economy and their financial situation than in Rahm Emanuel.
Neither do I.

Agreed. Emanuel's acknowledged to be obnoxious, and possibly playing good-cop/bad-cop for his boss, but in the long run, who cares? It's the result that counts.
Batchelor's trying to feed some unsourced gossip into the mill -- the situation's a bit too grim for that silliness.
