White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has indirectly re-entered the picture at the Blagojevich corruption trial.

The intermediary was John Wyma, a lobbyist pal of Blagojevich and Emanuel. And the message Harris said Wyma was asked to deliver was that President-elect Barack Obama “would be thankful and appreciative” if Blagojevich would appoint Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett as Illinois’ new U.S. Senator.

It’s a good bet that Emmanuel was also the one promising jobs to Sestak and the guy from Colorado if they would drop out of the primary races, but he wouldn’t / couldn’t have done this without the full support of the kenyan usurper.

Man can you imagine a deposition Like Clinton had to do) without any teleprompters. It would be comedic!

The truth would come out and I am not even talking about the BLago stuff. The truth I am talking about is the truth about the one’s intellectual capacity or capability.

It would be a riot.
