Ari Emanuel a loser in White House shift?

ari-emanuel-wrap.jpgThe departure of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to run for mayor of Chicago is not good news for his brother Ari, says Sharon Waxman at The Wrap. The agent and head of Wiliam Morris Endeavor won't be able to drop the name of a brother who has President Obama's ear, dealing him one part of a "double blow to his power base." The other blow, says Waxman, is that CAA — the larger rival to WME — "just got more formidable with an infusion of hundreds of millions in new capital."
