Rahm Emanuel Is Committing Suicide By Cop

Erick Erickson writes a provocative piece tonight[1]:

It started mid-February with a hagiographic tale of woe in the Obama administration and how Rahm Emanuel is the hero and adult in the room.

A week later it followed with another look into the White House with Obama as the wimp and Rahm as the muscle. Earlier this week Rahm became the voice of reason according to the Washington Post and the Politico fawned over Rahm’s bromance with Sweet Lindsey Graham.

Reading between the lines, Rahm Emanuel is dead. He may not know it, but the man has no pulse left. His ghost is now trying to defend his legacy in the White House. Chief of Staff – the real one – Valerie Jarrett killed Rahm.

How do I know? I’ve heard from multiple people who, interestingly enough, are close to the White House who tell me that David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett are calling the shots and Obama increasingly relies on Jarrett for advice because she knows the Obamas, not necessarily Washington.

Erick says it’s time to start a Rahm dead pool. I say it’s time to start a Suicide By Cop pool.

Rahm Emanuel wants this. He wants out. He wants to get off the sinking ship and wants to tether his fortunes to another..donkey.

I’ll let you guess who the other donkey might be….
