1 So, see?  I was right.  There was no inappropriate contact with my staff.

Now fuck shove off, I have real work to do.

2 What!!?!!

The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?

Will the bombshells ever cease?

3 So what does everyone think he's going to say at the presser? Will he announce his resignation? What could he possibly offer during this press conference other than to say he's resigning? He's already stated that he won't fill the senate seat.

4

The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?

Will the bombshells ever cease?

Nope. Here's another one. They've been telling porkies. Oh, wait. That's actually not much of a bombshell.

Honestly, slough, noone sensible begrudges Obama or his staff with contact with Gov. Rod concerning Obama's replacement.

I think we do begrudge them the dishonesty about those contacts, however. OK, the alleged contacts.

5 I mean we went from "I did not have any contact" to his Chief of Staff giving Blago a list of Senate replacements. I guess in obama's world "no contact" means that he didn't felate the guy.

6 They can bring all the truth and evidence they want to the surface but nothing will come of it.  The MSM will continue to protect their Chosen One and anyone he deems worthy of that protection as well.  Action will only be taken of OBetaMale decides they need to be sacrificed to save his sorry hide.

7 Yeah, over 20 telephone calls while claiming there was no contact.

8
They were negotiating what the Senate seat for go for and were still trying to reach a deal when Blago was busted. Rambo, as chief of staff was negotiating on behalf of O'Bambi.

9

How are all of these distractions helping Michelle's kids?

Obama has already investigated himself and pronounced himself innocent of all charges.

Now, can he please get on with the business of planning his trillion dollar boondoggle?  That massive tax rip-off ain't gonna organize itself, you know.

10

It is abundantly clear that Senator Obama did absolutely nothing improper here, and if he did, its Bush's fault for being a warmongering rightwing ideologue.

 

11 "What!!?!!

The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?

Will the bombshells ever cease?"

WHAT???  You mean the Vice President's staff MAY have talked to someone about a hit piece in the NY Times?? 

WOW,,,,,,bombshells never end, huh.

12

The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?

Will the bombshells ever cease?

Nice try. 

 

Ok, I'm lying, that's a pathetic try.  Lame even by your standards of practice, and that's saying a lot.

As has been stated, golly, even in the post, no reasonable person would be surprised or bothered that his Chief of Staff would have discussed Obama's successor with Blago.  But if we all agree on that point, and we do Seattle, then why lie about it?  Why dig your heels in and deny it instead of just saying "uh, you know, this is like, no big deal"?  Cause it's not.

Unless something illegal were proposed.  And even if something illegal were proposed, the brilliant Chief of Staff could have said "oh no, we don't play that game" and he's still golden. 

 

Be fun to hear the tapes, won't it genius?

13 So, Seattle Slouph, how busy are you these days trying to bury these little turds in your litter box of life? 

14 “What I indicated last week was there was nothing that my office did that was in any way inappropriate or related to the charges that have been brought.”

"This is the operative statement, the others are inoperative." 

15 no one cares what you have to say on this blog, Slough, so just run along and play with your friends over at Kos Kids.

16 I have an instinct here that Barry did nothing wrong and that this is nothing but a distraction to his oh most important and historic mission. And that everyone shouldn't waste their questions on this.

17

As Jerry Seinfeld said of George Costanza: "Sometimes I get the feeling he's not being completely straight with me."

In the Joe Mayo/massage chair episode.

What do I win?

18 "Be fun to hear the tapes, won't it genius?"

Won't happen, Dave.  They will be Obamanized before they hit the light of day.

19 @9
Now, can he please get on with the business of planning his trillion dollar boondoggle deification?

fixed it for you.

20

It's really good that no one can accuse Democrats of being hypocrites, the same way some accuse Larry Craig of being a hypocrite when talking about family values.

It's cuz we know that assholes like Emanuel are slimy as all fuck and they revel in the little kick they get out of breaking the rules, they can't be hypocritical!

Because they can! It's so awesome!

21
slough, everyone expects that Emmanuel talked with Blagojevich about the Senate seat. After all, Blago and Rahm know each other pretty well - Emmanuel filled Blago's seat in the House when Blago was elected governor in 2002, and they live not far from each other. And it's perfectly natural for Obama to have lobbied for one his people to get the appointment.

There's nothing at all strange about that. What is strange is Obama's denial of any contact: that defies reason. Why would he say such a thing? What is he afraid of? Was Emmanuel in fact a bidder in Blago's auctioning of the seat? Blago's taped comments suggest that he wasn't; so again, why the denial? As ace pointed out, if denial of the obvious is Obama's instinctive reaction to possibly threatening situations, that does not bode well for the next four years.

22

What!!?!!

The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?

Will the bombshells ever cease?

You know, if I was this demonstrably stupid and impervious to context (you know, the one outlined explicitly by Ace, right at the very top of this page), I might be a little more reserved in the use of my sneering, condescending snark.

But that's just me.  Damned self-respect and sensitivity to public humiliation have just held me back from a lifetime of non-stop self-satisfaction as a loud-and-proud "progressive".

23 Here, let me try something else:


As a lifelong liberal (I mean hate Chimpy McHitlerBurton and Sarah Palin is completely tacky) I am concerned that Barack Obama (he of the dreamy, soulful eyes) would seem to be obfuscating something totally NOT a crime.  I KNOW that he completely absolved himself via his own attorney performing an audit and I totally buy that, but still, it feels icky. 

24 I think the President Elect is convinced he's a Jedi because the press keeps covering for him.

*waves hand* "These aren't the illegal deals you're looking for.

You don't want my Senate seat... or a Cabinet position."

25 How are all of these distractions helping Michelle's kids?

What would help Michelle's kids is a pack of cigarettes- each. Kool filtered.

it feels icky.

You mean sticky, don't you?

26 What are the current odds of Rahm tasting tire tread underneath the Obama Fun Bus by February?  No way is this guy lasting.

27 Kind of reminds you of another Donk that was in the White House

"I did not have sex with that woman...Ms. Lewinski..."

the Messiah know what the fuck was going on...hopefully Rhambo becomes Rhambutt...and finds his ass under Teleprompter Jesus' bus...

28

I knew Edwin Edwards. I worked with Edwin Edwards. And you, sah, are no Edwin Edwards!*

*(Yes, I know. Chronologically impossible.)

29 What gets me is that it would be stupid, unprecedented, and illogical for Obama to not talk to the governor about his replacement. Why on earth wouldn't he? The immediate statement to the contrary was like someone claiming they didn't get up that morning. Uh, you're standing right here and not in bed.

It makes you think they're either insane, have something to hide, or just reflexively lie (possibly see first choice) as a response to anything that might be damaging. None of those are very good choices.

30 But Obama juts his chin and gazes at the sky so soulfully!

He sees our future and cares for us. Really, really cares for us like a good father.

I mean, a really, really , really good father. Not the kind of father who makes you feel bad when he catches me fellating the dog.....You , I mean, catches you fellating the dog.

31 Rahmbo went on the record today.  I have the transcript.

<i>Q: Have you had any conversations with the Governor or his staff on a replacement for the IL Senate seat vacated by President-Elect Barack Obama?

A: Ayyeha lowww is whoaaa in da hitherto fore.</i>

Hey, is Rahm still a Congressman?  Funny that he hasn't vacated that seat yet.  It's not like he has a confirmation hearing ahead him as Chief of Staff to POTUS.

32 Well it worked for Der Schlickmeister so it should work for Hussein, Oh, wait...I forgot he's "black", well, mauve, so there's bound to be descrimination.

33

"The president elect's chief of staff may have spoken with the governor who was to fill the president elect's soon to be vacant senate seat?"

After the years and years of bullshit accusations against Bush about tenuous relationships between him and other people, you have the balls to suggest that what we have here is all hunky dory?

Richard Perle! Richard Perle!!!!! Scooter Libby! Scooter Libby!!! Ted Stevens!!!

Alberto Gonzales! Sarah Palin and some asshole cop!!!

Meanwhile, we have the sleaziest of Chicago politics right in front of us and no one is supposed to say a fuckin word.

Really, give us a fucking break.

34

The latest from the Chicago Swamp Drainer:

 

“This is not the way it’s supposed to work!” mayor Richard Daley exclaimed today, holding aloft his new book ‘Schemes of my Father.’ “It is getting hard to tell the bad guys from the really bad guys.”

 

The mayor’s lament came amid more City turmoil as prominent figures leapfrogged each other to become FBI informants.  “I was an FBI informant before it was cool”, said Jessie Jackson Jr., AKA candidate number 5.  “He was getting ready to,” said Mr. Obama about Mr. Emanuel: “but there is no question that he aided the FBI by helping the Governor think impure thoughts.”

 

“Its like rats jumping from a sinking ship,” an FBI guy explained: “All the good mob lawyers are taken.  Once we add these new guys to Kelly and Rezko, there will be more singing down there than the Vienna Boys Choir.” Meanwhile, Governor Blago had no comment as strings of would be FBI informants trailed behind him as if following a line of chum.

 

“The union is not mafia.” Jimmy Hoffa added from an undisclosed location: “Any similarity is purely coincidental.  I don’t care how much money he got, it was not for no damn job.  We got standards Blago.”

 

All agreed however, that despite the intertwined machine, union and mafia reputation of the City, nothing untoward could attach to President-elect Obama.  “This will be the most ethical administration in history,” stated Attorney General nominee Eric Holder, reviewing a mounting stack of pardon requests: “You can tell by the large number of FBI informants that surround him.”

 

“Sammy the Bull” Gravano could not be reached for comment.

 

(The Chicago Swamp Drainer is committed to printing all the news that is fix to invent.)

35 So these four guys and a chick goes into the Illinois Governors office with a bags of cash to buy a Senate seat.....Oh, it's not a joke? Sorry.

36
[whiny voice] I will fight! And I will fight! And I will fight![/whiny voice]

37 Somehow this is all Bush's fault.

38 Neither bodes well for the next four years.

What we are seeing is only the tip of the iceberg, as anyone who has done any research into Obama knows. There is a reason why he is so intent in hiding everything he can about himself.

My guess is that he does not have four years, I am going to guess he will be forced to resign before that. If he were smart he would not cop a 'tude with his MSM choir, some of them might get pissed at being dissed and start digging. They won't have to dig very far as we all know.

39 You dirty racists!

Come on, you knew that was coming? or do you just hate the Joooooooooos?
