I still think this'll be bigger than Watergate by the time Barack Obama is sworn in, if it isn't already!

[SolidWood]

From the White House to the Wh0rehouse... again.

[VRWC For Truth]

Bush will do something more stupid to make the ‘Rats look good.

[cripplecreek]

I agree. The Obama crew is acting guilty too.

[Cementjungle]

Well, if this one doesn’t stick I’m sure there will be plenty more *gates in the coming years. It should be interesting.

[quesney]

on the basics, it’s already bigger than Watergate: selling a Senate seat? Geez-Louise.

[unkus]

0bama could shoot a little old lady on the street and the

MSM and his other supporters would just say “Well, she had

to die sometime, anyway.”

[St. Louis Conservative]

Does anyone think Blago will roll over on anyone in order to avoid a long jail sentence? I don’t see him as a “good soldier”.

John Kass was on O’Reilly saying that a lot of dominos could fall if Blago talks.

[ksm1]

It’s too bad that you can’t short sell approval ratings, because I’m thinking this is going to drop like the share price of General Motors.

[TonyStark]

“I did not have financial relations with that governor...”

[kcvl]

If Obama is this crooked before he takes office can you imagine what it will be like for four long years?!

[Redgirl]

This makes Watergate look like a fraternity prank in comparison. It's Rahmbamagate.

[JEH_Boston]

Maybe it will all blow up even more *before* Obama is sworn in?

Hopefully, SCOTUS is paying attention and will save us all by avoiding the need to worry about the swearing in.

[FMBass]

Obama hasn’t been sworn in yet?

You coulda fooled me!

[nufsed]

Three options: he talks and others do the time; he suddenly dies of lead posioning Chicago style, he doesn't talk and does the time; his wife is taken care of mafia style while he's in prison.

I hope the US Attorney has the nads to go where the investigation takes him.

[Red Steel]

That doesn’t necessarily mean that Emanuel knew about Blagojevich’s efforts to extort payment for the selection,

But it sure does suggest that Rahman Noodle was in a ongoing negotiation with Blago over the Obama senate seat.

“I still think this’ll be bigger than Watergate by the time Barack Obama is sworn in, if it isn’t already!”

I hope you are referring to the press coverage, because the actual crime underlying Watergate itself was penny ante.

[Canedawg]

This is great news, coming on the heels of Axelrod having to admit he was mistaken about what he said. The momentum is building.

Blajo is radioactive.
