One source confirmed that communications between Emanuel and the Blagojevich administration were captured on court-approved wiretaps.

lol..here we ( you and I ) go again..

I think I posted earlier..Why wouldn't he talk to Blago about the seat? When there is proof that Rahm tried to cut a deal for the seat, then wake me up.

Why did Barak say no one in his admin talked to Blago about the seat? I agree it would be natural to have contact but let's hear the conversation.

Obviously they are in shut down mode until they have internally "deposed" anyone and everyone who might have talKed to Blago, or anyone else about the seat. If there is something incriminating, they are going to release it and not be caught by surprise..and that is totally IMO

Barakus can be

mentored by Rev. Wright and have none of the hate rub off on him.
hang out with Bill Ayers and have none of the anti-Americanism rub off on him.
and like Blago - receive illegal campaign contributions from Rezko and walk away squeaky clean.

all of this from a guy with no accomplishments that is loved by all these lowlifes/criminals because?

While Clinton was coming into office, the real liberal publications were writing about him being involved in cocaine smuggling into Arkansas, and some Tyson chicken scandal

Just remembered it and threw it out

I'm glad that not all those that opposed Barack in the Presidential election are such sore losers.

This is from John McCain:

John McCain sideswiped the Republican National Committee on Sunday for the intense focus it has placed on Barack Obama's relationship (however thin) to Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Saying he was confident that information would be made public regarding the president-elect's contacts with the embattled Illinois governor -- who is accused of putting up Obama's vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder -- McCain urged his Republican colleagues to keep their political priorities in order.

"I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary," said the Arizona Republican. "You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody -- right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary. And so, I don't know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama's campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois, but I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me."

So, if The Nation was writing those accusations, what was the "other side" accusing Slick Willie of

same story. different spin.

[dellinger63]

From today's Suntimes. "Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds -- dealing with his boss' vacant Senate seat!"


Not sure it would be humanly possible to talk to Blago 21 times and not discuss something nefarious in nature. This is from a gossip column but this lady is right far more than wrong.
