The son of the devil’s spawn

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was recently described as the son of the devil’s spawn. Rahm apparently used an interested arena for venting: the ‘boys’ showers (where venting is of course an OHS must) at the House of Representatives gym and berating him for being a coward. All this while presumably both men were stark naked. 

Now this outright public slander of Emanuel is not as bad as it sounds. Listen to what the former senator called him: the son of the devil’s spawn. According to this, by rights he can only claim to be the grandson of Satan. And everyone knows that’s nothing like the real deal. This paints a completely different picture, and was clearly intended by departing senator Massa as a means of softening the blow from an otherwise heated account of Emanuels’ yichut (pedigree).

In response to the admittedly mild-flavoured accusation of pointy-eared, fork-tongued, pitchfork-clutching, tail-bearing, red-bodied-army familial ties, the White House plainly overreacted, and instead of downplaying the alleged pink-fit, succeeded in a disproportional white-wash of the story, hosing down the friction, creating thick steam in the press room – which of course is the type of scenario wherein this fracas all began.
