The Vail Spot: What Does All The Rahm Chatter Mean

Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

What Does All The Rahm Chatter Mean

What all the Rahm chatter means is that Rahm Emmanuel will be gone by the end of the year. The losses last year in New Jersey and Virginia hurt his "strategic influence" with Mr. Obama...the loss in Massachussetts finished him. According to an insider in the White House, Mr. Emmanuel will resign sometime this year. The chatter emanating from the White House is merely lower level minions beginning the orchestration necessary to ease him out.
