The story that put the lie to the No-O & Blogo Meeting was found yesterday and disappeared down the memory hole at News : KHQA.

~~~~23. I worked in Illinois politics for a time

Organizer/lobbyist on education funding.

It was clear from the start of his campaign how rotten Blago was from that beginning. The huge campaign contributions were monstrous, the aides he imported from New York (in prep for a White Hosue bid) were as arrogant as he was, & treated everyone else like they were dogs to do their bidding.

His slimy corruption was evident to anyone from day one. Even his aides down in the depts. were demanding campaign contributions and even sexual favors in return for grants. (they weren't the only ones, the current Majority WHip & chair of the state Appropriations committees is notorious for his demands from women involved with non-profits)

I'm sure lots of people make deals with the devil they think they can handle, but anyone who didn't know what a piece of shit this faux-Kennedy imitator, faux-Elvis impersonator, was simply fooling themsleves.

Of course, denial is more important than water, food, or sex -- we can all live a day w/o those, but few of us (including me) can go a day w/o practicing some form of denial. ~~~~~

If Obama and Blago met, they didn’t do it sneaking out to some clandestine site. Staff members or clerical workers would recall seeing them together. It was a big day - the day after Obama was elected. People would notice.

It also is likely that the governor’s office has surveillance cameras.

Half and Half was in chicago to celebrate his winning on the night of the fourth behind the barricade, it would be only natural for him to meet the governor the next day, and now he is covering his illegal burro

Not sure which one you're referring to but I noticed the Autism ad next to one. And it was next to Barack article. I clicked on the ad and got this:

Autism is a brain disorder that often makes it hard to communicate with and relate to others.

Which was next to Barack's picture and the article is missing now.

This is a good example why a non-commercial, political speech site should be able to grab and post full excerpts of any online news article - its Orwellian to see news “disappear” after its done its damage or before it can do its damage - I know you fought against the copyright claims but if FReeRepublic is not a fair use then nothing is. Sigh.

If we don’t like the free press, we can just create our own. The old school press is going broke. Nobody buys their lies any more.

Ok, let me see if I got this right.

KHQA got it wrong.
Carol Sowers got it wrong.
Tammy Duckworth got it wrong.
Alexis Hunt and channel 7 Quincy, who reported Duckworth got it right, got it wrong.
Illinois Governor’s office got it wrong.
Illinois Gov’t News Networks got it wrong.

http://www.illinois.gov/PressReleases/ShowPressRelease.cfm?SubjectID=2&RecNum=7260

David Axelrod got it wrong. “I _know_ he’s talked with the governor...”

Obama got it right. Right???

It is possible she made that up, in which case she should be fired. It is also true that the press has covered up an inconvenient story, inconvenient for Zero, that is. This story doesn’t say they met, but since what it does say doesn’t support the party line, the loyal minions are making it disappear.

Did you see my post? Of the second article?

For fairness sake I’d like to correct my original post. I wrote “documented a November 5th meeting of Blago and Zero.” Please change to read “documented a SCHEDULED November 5th meeting of Blogo and Zero.” At this time I have no direct evidence that the meeting occurred. I believe it IS of interest to the community that a news organization pulled the copy of a story that made the inference, and did so soon after Blago’s arrest. Further note the reference on this thread to the Obama website’s repetition of the same story. Meeting or not, something stinks at KHQA.

There is another article that was scrubbed today and it has been saved to an FR tread.

Only after the fact. Sorry, don’t have my reading glasses with me and the type was a bit too small. As I read it it does confirm a meeting took place.

You’ve got a couple of sources there I haven’t personally read. That said, the evidence is looking bad for Zero. And bad for our country, too. This is right out of Orwell.
