    so untrue- We Jews often go to Africa to celebrate Chanukah.

  2. Operation Jungle Boogie

  3. Cue music:

    Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
    There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
    I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa.

    Africa? To track down Hussein Obama’s REAL birth certificate from Kenya and destroy it, right?

  5. SayItWithWookies says at 3:12 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    He’s going to Kenya to get more of that Potion of Awesomeness from Hopey’s witch doctor. And also to bump off any remaining witnesses to the real circumstances of Obama’s birth.

  6. The Station Manager says at 3:13 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    All those calls to “Go Back To Africa!” so narrowly missed their target.

  7. The Cold Sea says at 3:19 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    It’s perfectly normal for the chief of staff to not go with the preznit-elected on a working vacation.

  8. Monsieur Grumpe says at 3:19 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Could this be the new administration’s version of “needing to spend more time with the family”?

    Stay away from those African penguins Emanuel. They’re mean and extremely unpredictable.

  9. 4tehlulz says at 3:26 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Does this mean they won’t be fucking in Africa anymore?

    That’s sad.

  10. WalnutsIsMyCo-Pilot says at 3:27 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    I think he’s just pullin’ a Dave Chappelle. He’ll be back in a few months with a freshly powdered nose and a new outlook on life AND Comedy Central.

  11. Dramatist says at 3:28 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    This has happened before. Like, Kevin Bacon before him, Emmanuel will return with the only man who can beat Barry in basketball. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109067/

    I am now imagining Rahm Emanuel taking Axl’s place in the Guns ‘N Roses video.

    It’s amazing what hallucinations you have when you are trying to look busy.

  13. MoonshineJoe says at 3:40 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Hes probably going to deliver a dead fish to (and/or assassinate) Mugage while he is over there.

  14. snideinplainsight says at 3:40 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    I wonder if he’s gonna eat some of that yellow cake while he’s down there. Cheney says that’s the best!

  15. But where in Africa? Is this like SnowBilly saying, who is the prezident of Africa?

  16. FreshCliches says at 3:50 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Oh, go, oh, go, Emanuel,
    No ransomed seat in IL,
    Who mourns Rod Blago’s exiled hair,
    Until Messiah’s proven “not there”
    Redact! Redact! Emanuel!
    Until transparency in IL

    Obama-calypse Now

    Blaggy: Did they say why, Rahm, why they want to terminate my governorship?
    Rahm: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.
    Blaggy: It’s no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?
    Rahm: They told me that you had gone totally corrupt, and that your methods were stupid.
    Blaggy: Are my methods stupid?
    Rahm: I don’t see any method at all, sir.
    Blaggy: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you a ballerina?
    Rahm: I’m Barry’s Chief of Staff.
    Blaggy: You’re neither. You’re an errand boy, sent by a Unicorn, to collect a bill.

  18. Mild Midwesterner says at 3:54 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Wait… Rahm went to Africa in order to get away from corrupt politicians? FAIL!

  19. actor212 says at 4:22 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    He’s gone to find Sarah Palin’s exorcist to take care of that bitch Blagojevich, and get him a real name like Smith.

  20. ToeCramps says at 4:28 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Rahm is so gangsta! He said STFU on Bighair Blago! There will be no follow up interviews from the paparazzi…er…I mean…media.

  21. Dildo Baggins says at 5:06 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Man, he’s just cold recruiting members for the White House posse from some of those badass Congo rebels. Wait till you see them in camos and afros, sportin’ AKs on the South Lawn. Ain’t gonna be no fuckin’ White House no more, honkies.

  22. Darehead says at 7:04 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: Epic The Horror, Epic The Horror.

    How come, how come? Emaaaaaaa-nu-el?

  23. Darehead says at 7:06 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    FreshCliches: Ooops. I was transfixed by Obama-lypse Now and missed that. Tail between legs. Yo better.

  24. Min: Africa to Rahm: Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel.

  25. Scandalabra says at 10:08 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    The last time a Republican vacationed in African they met Mr. Livingston, they presumed.

  26. One morning, he shot an elephant in his pyjamas…

  27. villageatrois says at 1:03 am, December 24th, 2008

    Hey, it’s Christmas eve, you guys — leave Rahm alone. Oh wait, never mind. Not important, the Least of Fights. My bad.
