Title: A Teary [Rahm] Emanuel Gets Dead Fish At White House Send-off [LMAO!!!]

At the 8:30 staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room this morning, departing chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was given a gift by Council of Economic Advisers chair Austan Goolsbee: a dead Asian carp.

This was an allusion to the Emanuel legend of his sending a dead fish to a pollster for whom he didn’t care, replicating the scene from The Godfather when the Corleones were alerted of Luca Brasi’s death with a dead fish wrapped in Brasi’s bullet-proof vest. The specific species was a reference to Emanuel’s focus as a member of Congress and White House chief of staff on the aggressive, invasive Asian carp, bane of the Great Lakes, a plankton-devouring creature heading towards Chicago.

Goolsbee said: “I talked to the policy team and we wanted to give you a going away present—something to show how we feel about you but also shows we understand your new possibilities--I was the natural go between—I voted for you all three times you ran for Congress and even in that first primary. “ So here is your present.”“

“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““ Abc_dead_fish_10101_main

Emanuel opened the package, which was wrapped in copies of the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune.

“This is a dead fish!” he said.

Goolsbee: “To most people, it looks like a dead fish.” But to a future mayor of Chicago, it looks like a dead Asian Carp.” And you’ll be happy to know that it wasn’t easy to find one of these”

Said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs: “In Chicago, this is how friends say goodbye.”

Emanuel, who got teary during the staff meeting, told staffers that he knows that he pushed staffers “very hard. But I did it in service to the president. And I believe that our whole country is better off for it.”

Staffers gave him a standing ovation.

Mad dog gets
"calibrated..."

The current members of the "You're a worthless sack of shit" list includes WAR, lucysmom (empty-headed bimbo), calcon, e_type_jack-off, mad-dog (more like rabidly stupid), ibluafartsky and the fascism-shill no gnu taxes (aka 400 bucks, happyfunball, 50yardline, etc, etc.) If you're on the list, don't bother writing, 'cause you're a waste of flesh.
