Contact with Blagojevich?
QandO —
I’m afraid I don’t share Mr. Obama’s confidence that no one on his staff discussed replacements for his senate seat with Gov. Blagojevich. First, it just doesn’t make any sense, politically. That would indeed have been a normal topic or issue that would have been an expected topic of conversation between his "team" and the governor’s "team" at a minimum. ...

Contact: Emanuel spoke with Blago “on multiple occasions” about Senate seat posted at 7:57 am on December 12, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly The attempt by President-elect Barack Obama to distance himself from the scandal erupting in Illinois took a big hit last night with this exclusive report from Chicago’s Fox affiliate. Sources within the investigation say that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on “multiple occasions” about the Senate succession that Blagojevich had wanted to sell to the highest bidder — and that Emanuel will likely be on the FBI ...

Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
Barack Obama Soprano and the rest of the Chicago sewer rats who’ve conned their way into the White House are doing a bang-up job with this “new type of politics” aren’t they? You know, the type where you pretend to be somebody you aren’t, fill the air with empthy rhetoric based on nothing more than what your thoughts and polls tells you the voters want to hear, lie about what you really intend to do, outspend your opponents, stuff the ballot boxes (Acorn), intimidate the press, and then are almost never touched by scandal while in office? Anybody stop to consider that this massive new Federal Works program ...
Look Out, Rahm - The Bus is Comin'
The Jawa Report —
December 12, 2008 Look Out, Rahm - The Bus is Comin' The funniest part is yet to come, when President "I had no idea any of this was happening in such a pristine environment as Chicago and in Illinois politics" tries fo fire Fitz. Compare and contrast the media frenzy, dare I say GLEE, at the Plamegate story for years, compared to the "sad" tone we're fed over this story (as if rampant, rank, stinking Democrat corruption is an accident or tragedy, like a plane crash): *eats popcorn* By Good Lt. at December 12, 2008 08:19 AM | | l digg this ...
Sources: Rahm Emanuel Spoke with Blagojevich about Senate Seat on Multiple Occassions
Stop The ACLU —
Obama’s confindence that no one on his team discussed his senate seat with scumbucket Blagojevich may soon be shattered. This Chicago Fox Affiliate has an exclusive that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on “multiple occasions” about the Senate succession of Obama’s open seat. He is likely to be on FBI wiretaps: None of this means Obama or Emanuel are guilty of participating in Blago’s crimes, but it certainly shows them being less than honest. This entire scandal has damaged Obama’s halo before he has even got to sit on the throne. Also see Hot Air
Things Not Looking Too Good For Emanuel
Nice Deb —
I’m heart-broked over this.
First David Axelrod says on November 23: “I know he’s (Obama) talked to the governor, and there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.”
Then after Blago’s arrest, and Obama’s statement: “I had no contact ...
Reports: Taped Conversations Of Blagojevich And Rahm Emanuel May Exist
Say Anything —
This is not good news for Obama, who said yesterday that he was “confident” his staff hadn’t been talking to Blago about the appointment.
Obama said that he, personally, didn’t meet with Blago about the appoint yet news reports suggest otherwise. Obama claims that nobody on his staff was communicating with Blago, yet now it appears as though Rahm Emanuel had multiple conversations with the Governor.
What I don’t get is why Obama would lie about this in the first place. I mean, you’d expect him and/or ...
