In the meantime, Emanuel's West Wing pals hilariously presented him with a dead fish as a leaving present (an in-joke). And not the best of optics, either, given the old Russian proverb that a fish rots from the head down. On Wall Street they'd call it a dead cat bounce but for the White House, come November, any "reset" for the Obama administration will turn out to be a dead fish bounce.

You know the ole joke, “You know what they call a rat deserting a sinking ship?”
A survivor.
Even DEAD-FISH could not take the stench of this White House. It speaks volumes.

The best story of the Obama presidency involving Rahm is actually about Nancy Pelosi. After Scott Brown’s election upset in Massachusetts, Emanuel is said to have approached the Speaker of the House to talk her out of continuing to push healthcare reform through Congress. “Fuck you, we’re going to pass healthcare,” was her alleged reply. And she was right: they did.

I do not understand.
The rot IS from the head down.
