The Middle is Always Evil

Rod Blagojevich just stood up at a podium in the Thompson center in downtown Chicago and claimed innocence of any wrong doing. Snort.

Interestingly, while he was up there, Blagojevich defamed my favorite poem, If, by Rudyard Kipling.

Blagojevich attorney takes over press conference.

Attorney: “Blagojevich not going to apologize for fighting for sick children”

This is Chicago.

Free republic is reporting the possibility of an Obama team connection to Blago-gate; apparently, when Blagojevich asked if Obama could push some clout around to get his wife placed on a paid corporate board, Advisor A responded that he, “thinks he could,” and that a “President-elect can do almost anything he sets his mind to.” The indictment names Rahm Emmanuel specifically as an advisor to the president elect; could he be Advisor A?

No matter who it is, the Obama team has been implicated; Obama now admits that a two hour long conference call took place between his team and the Blago-team about the Senate seat, and he has declined to out and out deny any wrong doing. He has, however, expressed “confidence” that there was none. This thing is obviously only beginning to unravel…
