Until the prosecutor’s report is released, I give Obama’s release as much weight as I gave this, “I did not have sex with that womanâ€¦Ms. Lewinskyâ€¦

Or Nixon saying “I am not a crook!”

Suddenly ol’Fitz will go from being a hero for going after Scooter to being a cad for daring to question the Dali Bama.

It’s been just fraking amazing to hear the liberals falling over themselves to make excuses for any potential wrongdoing the Dali Bama and/or his entourage may have made.

“…no Obama team impropriety…”

Well, I for one am not shocked. When people or organizations investigate themselves, they never seem to find any wrong doing. According to The Smoking Gun Obama and two members of his team were interviewed by federal prosecutors about the Blagojevich scandal.

Obama Interviewed In Blagojevich Probe President-elect, two aides quizzed last week by federal prosecutors DECEMBER 23--President-elect Barack Obama and two of his top advisers were interviewed last week by federal prosecutors probing Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's alleged bid to sell Obama's vacated Senate seat, according to a report issued today by an Obama lawyer. The lawyer, Gregory Craig, concluded that Obama and his aides engaged in no improper conduct in connection with the Senate opening. A copy of the Craig report can be found below. As part of his review of transition team "contacts" with Blagojevich, Craig reported that only incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoke with the Illinois pol. Emanuel, Craig disclosed, had "one or two telephone calls" with Blagojevich in early-November. The Smoking Gun.

I will await the report from Federal Prosecutor Fitzgerald. Edited for length. Read the rest of TIR's post here. - ST

LOL Helen – it’s the left here who are clueless about the BBC. The right’s been on to ‘em for a while. The left thinks everything is a-ok … and it is – for them.

Helen–
This is one American you’ll never hear such words from. I for one never approved of the BBC, and never thought all that much of the programming it produces.
I notice that for all the praise of such programming, when the shows finally get over here they end up on our tax-subsidized stations, not the ones that actually have to make their own money.

I am absolutely delighted that you guys have finally worked out the truth about the BBC. Nothing is so frustrating as to be told by very well meaning Americans about the wonders of the Beeb and how much better it is than anything American broadcasting can produce. Stuff and nonsense. Oh, and don’t forget that the domestic part of the BBC lives off something they call the licence fee, which is, in actual fact, a tax on the ownership of a TV set. Even if you never watch BBC on it you have to pay that benighted organization a tax. They are desperately trying to work out how to tax people for downloading or watching TV programmes on their computers.

The headline at their “Top of the Ticket” blog: Obama team probe of Obama team finds no Obama team impropriety Someone there has a sense of humor. (hat tip: LGF) LINKS: Sister Toldjah notes another whopper from the BBC. Technorati……

Check out this one from the LA Times politics blog:

Obama team probe of Obama team finds no Obama team impropriety

Follow the link. I’m surprised the Times still has a sense of humor.
