Rahm's departure

Looks like the Chief of Staff is off. Kinda lame to leave so fast for such a job, if you ask me. Freepers, of course, see this as confirming many conspiracy theories they just now came up with:

4Speed just kinda free associates, and also is racist:

What that F...rk is the dumfruc thinking? THA FRIGGIN squirrel couldn’t win dog Snatcher in Springfield let alone a Chicago gangsta Mayor.
Tha Blackhouse is flushin his buns from DC and the Immediate vicinity......Besides, tha dancin Squirrel couldn’t fix Pelosi or Reid ... Airforce ONE in the ditch and Emanual has ahold of the steering wheel and the gearshift is up his Donkey.

Tha Blackhouse? Hilarious!

dennisw uses his racial consciousness to analyze Rahm's chances to make Mayor of Chicago:

with the black Muslim shadow over Chicago I don’t think Chicago will elect a Jewish mayor. But if a strong black candidate emerges then the white ethnics of Chicago would rally around Emanuel to derail a Louie Farakkan stooge

jimbo123 has a theory:

Something else is up. Rahm must be close to indictment or he has AIDS.

According to Freepers, all liberal men have AIDS. Cause they all love the drugs and buttsex, I guess.

browniexyz thinks this is a sign of secret budget shenanigans:

OCTOBER 1 is the beginning of the new federal fiscal year. Something Axelrod and Rahm have been up to with public money at the White House doesn’t withstand public scrutiny. Hope whoever is in the new Congress will have the guts to scrutinize all the “black budgets” in the White House—if the docs aren’t destroyed this weekend!!!

Candor7 is always good for hitting on multiple crazy fronts:

The biatch is off to Chicago to be Obama's on site thug.He will enter the veiled obscurity of the Chicago back rooms of liberal fascists, and do his dirty work there to end freedom as we know it. The White House has too much light for Ram Manual. He thrives in darkness and in deceit, like all fascist thugs.

Ram Manual is a parasite.Chicago is a sick beast badly in need of a Wyoming worming, red hot poker style.

Ram may just end up in Lake Michigan, which is more than just a vague possibility. He knows far too much and has too many enemies.

Chicago is the new seat of Obama's evil power, and Rahm is like an evil batman, staying in the darkness. Also thug. Also Chicago needs to be reamed up the butt.

albie just really hates Obama, and has the gross metaphors to prove it!

A walking hemmoroid. A cancer on society. An absolute waste of space. Evil beyond compare. Rot in hell you SOB!

Liz thinks Rahm musta taken trillions!!

Ohaha knows now he made a huge blunder putting the Chi-mob in the WH........probably part of the deal as the puppet candidate of Rahm/Axelrod/Soros.

These Chi-thugs acted as if they were crowned heads of the "US kingdom," rather than public servants.

They trampled over our constitutional rights. They put down American exceptionalism as if it were a crime. They sucked up to Commies, dictators, and illegals.

Rahm is intensely disliked---so the Dems are getting rid of him, hoping to save a few seats. Rahm is the twerp who stood on the Capitol steps Inaguration Day and thumbed his nose at America.

Wall Street Rahm knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in. Keep in mind---Wall Street Rahm controlled all the activites at the Dept of the Treasury.

Once we take over, we need to scrutinize his involvment in $$$trillions of bailouts---much of it easily hidden offshore---wire transferred to phantom businesses, numbered accounts, interrelated tax-exempt international funds, institutions, foundations, and the like.

It is true that without evidence, such speculations carry little weight, even on the fringe. But on Free Republic, there are so many cockamamie theories that they add up to a self-fulfilling general aura of conspiratorial evil, which allows for ever more outlandish speculation.
