Believe me, <em>they're</em> not going to suffer for this. And Obama still knows who his friends are. They've been looking to cut Blagojevich loose for a while. The Illinois Legislature has been discussing impeachment for some time; the prosecutors just beat them to it.

Poor guy. Rod carried a knife, alright, but Emmanuel was the one with the gun. And note that the tapes show Rod's frustration with the Obamanians for not doing more than thanking him. Has Rahm thrown Rod under the proverbial bus? Of course! Has there ever been anyone more deserving of being tossed? I doubt it. And to think there are still a few holdouts who think the Clintons are going to be able to manipulate Obama. Good luck with that! She-eesh! Even the Kos-sadsacks are beginning to see what whatever the president-elect is, he surely isn't "the one." In fact, he strikes me more as "the new number 2." And I'm still number 6. ;) Well of course Emmanuel’s the one who ratted out Blago. Poor guy. Rod carried a knife, alright, but Emmanuel was the one with the gun.

I heard Chuck Todd this morning on the Today show talk about how there was absolutely NO communication between Blago, and Barack regarding this decision. Which sort of contradicted what we already know, that Barack was hoping Blago would fill the position with candidate #1. At least we have that to rely on...the fact that the MSM will do whatever it takes to ensure that Barack is cast in the very best light, no matter the situation. - Lorica Absolutely right T-Steel.

With the egomaniacal Blagojevich basically flipping Obama the bird consistently with numerous F-bombs, Obama is cast in a more sympathetic light. Apparently Blagojevich was angry that Obama didn't "play ball". To me this is way more about Blagojevich than Obama. But I know it throws the Right a bone and adds to the Right's talking points. But I'm not judging the Right on this one because the Left would do the exact same thing if the roles were reversed. And looking at some of the despicable behavior displayed by the Left during Bush's tenure, they would have probably went farther if thrown the bone. We on the realist left know that for a fact.

Hell, I think it's hillary, just my clintonian thesis working over time again. Regardless, seems old King BO has a long four years, we, maybe two to get this fixed . Because guess who is right down the hall> Sec.Hillary Rodham Clinton - and we already know all her skeletons. I smell a Clinton masterplan in the works..
