Worthy of a caption this thread. There is just something about that picture that makes him look so slimey.

Oh.
I think “frog-marched in handcuffs past the White House” is the appropriate phrase.
Absent from the news conference was Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff and someone who has typically attended the post-election news conferences. Emanuel has past ties to Blagojevich, and reporters have been clamoring for a chance to talk to him about any conversations he might have had with the governor or his advisors.
I didn’t say the probability of riots should hold the investigations back, just that there would be riots. I feel for the innocent people who will get caught up in them, as well as the businesses that will be looted and have physical destruction of their offices/stores. Once started these things can take on a life of their own, and I hate to see innocents get hurt. The threat of riots should not be a club in the hand of the other side. Let them riot, but stay out of the way and be prepared for the damage.
na na na hey hey goodbye
It couldn't happen to anyone more deserving!
We tried everything to convince people that Obama was corrupt, we brought up Wright, Ayers, Rezco, Khalidi, who knew a guy named Blagojevich would be the one that put the nail into Obama’s political coffin. Damn, if only this was brought out BEFORE the election
Does anyone think Blago will start singing once he faces the prospect of spending 30 years in Joliet?
How many dominos will fall then?
Say what??!
We are supposed to believe that Obama’s Chief of Staff had multiple conversations with the governor about the senate appt ( recorded) but never told his boss, Obama, a THING about what was discussed?
***Remember Obama said, “I did not know anything about what was going on” at his first presser about this.***
WHOA.
Nice touch with the facial tic! Reminds me of the Police Commissioner in (I think it’s) “Return of the Pink Panther”.
Frog-marched is a better term.
In my best Bubba voice...
"I did not have verbal relations with that Governor."
Believe me, we all have our garbage! Arkansas can't claim any moral high ground that's for sure.
What was insanely pathetic was watching NBC news tonight as they went OUT OF THEIR WAY explaining how Barry and Hot Rod didn't even like each other.
They all but said...
"How dare we, even for a moment think the Messaih's hands would be dirty with this."
Does anyone ever recall a president elect being involved in a scandal before he even took office? I don’t, Obama is definitely making history!
You must have missed the most recent comment by Obama. He said he would have his people do a background check and see if anyone had spoken to the governor and would get back to the reporters in a timely manner.
I suspect he is going to wait to see what Fritz has on file.
Paging Sandy Berger your phone is ringing.
