The Ed Morrissey Show: Jim Geraghty and the Blagojevich scandal
posted at 1:00 pm on December 11, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Jim Geraghty returns to talk about the latest in politics — and this week, that can only mean the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and the shock waves it has sent from Chicago to Washington, DC. We’ll have video of the highlights, a review of all the aspects of the scandal, plus more talk about Obama’s latest Cabinet picks and the status of the bailouts. Don’t miss a minute!

I really like Ed. I wish he would do a “birther” show.
Sell it to networks. Well, maybe…

Be sure to talk about Blago’s 2 hour conference call with the Obama team.

The press is reporting that Obama is “appalled” about the $1 million for the senate seat. Yeah, I was a appalled too… I mean, it’s worth at least $5 million, right?

Love the photo of these two corrupt scumbags schmoozing and scheming together…

Obama could give a news conference admitting he was part of this scandal and it wouldn’t matter.
The MSM and Obama’s acolytes don’t care if he did anything wrong or not – it doesn’t matter.
We are back to the cover-ups, obfuscation, etc. of the Clinton years. The only difference is it took Clinton a while to spin up the scandal-ometer – Obama got it up and running in about a month (before even taking office).
Conspiracy Question: Perhaps this is one reason why obama has surrounded himself with Clinton cronies? They did alright by Bill, yes?
