KHQA retracts Blago-Obama meeting reports

In any event, other than David Axelrod’s assertion on November 23rd that Obama and Blagojevich discussed the Senate succession, no independent reporting found thus far puts the two of them on the phone together or in the same room strategizing on Obama’s replacement. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that such a meeting took place — it would make sense, politically, for Blagojevich to consult Obama on potential candidates even if Blagojevich wasn’t corrupt — but people will have to look harder for evidence.

Heads up before you start telling too many people about this story. From what I can ascertain, Ed has more credibility than any drive by journalist I can think of, so if he says this then it's good enough for me.

KHQA retracts Blago-Obama meeting reports

Retracts, or disappears?

The Minitrue can do that, you know...

[shhrubbery!]

You know, there's an easy way to resolve this:

Obama could provide documentation, one way or the other, with his appointment calendar - with any unrelated meetings redacted, of course.

There should be a Secret Service log too. Obama has been protected by Secret Service for months now.

However, as with Obama's original birth certificate, that would be just too simple, wouldn't it.

This isn't proof, but it raises questions.

Look at a map. KQHA serves Qunicy IL which is way the hell over on the Mississippi River. When some podunk TV station way out of the city has a story that no media outlet in Chicago knows anything about, well you do the math.

The screwed up, is all. If there was a meeting, Fitzgerald should be able to document it through his investigation now.

I don’t understand where the connection is there.

It doesn’t say that they met.

KHQA basically called both writers and the editor “liars”.
Plus, they’ve basically now admitted that their content/stories are made up.

thank you...

Wouldn’t they have been discussing his replacement all along? Sure, they wouldn’t start the bidding until he left the job ..........................
