Red State reports:
Streiff noted earlier David Broder beating down Dana Milbank over Milbank’s Rahm Emanuel stories.
Broder believes that Emanuel is not the source for Milbank, but it is abundantly clear Rahm Emanuel either directly or indirectly is trying to cover his bottom as the Obama administration crumbles.
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.
This isn't the greatest Rahm Emanuel story of the day. That goes to
Sneed at the Chicago Sun-Times:
Scuttlebutt & whispers: The "Rahm Emanuel for mayor of Chicago" rumors are resurfacing again -- now that the D.C. grapevine is abuzz that Emanuel, President Obama's chief of staff, might be exiting the White House.
• Fact: Sneed hears speculation Rahm will either leave this summer in time to re-register his kids in school or . . . after the midterm elections. "If the Dems suffer a big loss after the midterm elections, Rahm will own it [get the blame]," said a top Dem source.
• Fact: Rahm ain't gonna run against Mayor Daley, and it's a safe bet Mayor Daley will not be leaving office . . . unless he's kicking or screaming or deader than a smelt.
Expect Rahm's name to come up at the Blago trial.
