Unfortunately, the Obama Team is just warming up, too ... demonizing Blagojevich is just the first step in preparing the media for his "depression" and then finally his Arkancide.

Yes, they were quick to disassociate themselves from the Gov., far faster than from racist Trinity-Church's Wright then.

If he does have an unfortunate episode where he ends up ...dead. We’re going to have to come up with a new name for Arkancide.

I don't see how "Blago" can survive this, literally.

The MSM is already doing everything possible to protect Obama. When Blago starts to name names, if he survives long enough to do so, we have already been told he is insane, so anything he says will be equally insane.

My boss is a very liberal Democrat. He is also extremely bright. He said to me yesterday what Free Republic afficianados already know. He said EVERYONE knows Obama's Senate seat was up for sale to the highest bidder. In a normal life, Blago would have said, "Hey, we can work this out." He said, further, ANYONE, including Jesse Jackson and son, knew going is that the seat was available, but it wouldn't be free. That's the Chicago Way.

My guess is Blago is already a rich man. He could have been much richer if he had done this the "Chicago Way." Maybe he is insane.

Oh, and anyone who thinks Obama didn't know his Senate office was available for a cost is as insane as "Blago" is reported to be.

“With Mr. Blagojevich evidently hoping to trade favors with President-elect Obama, the service employees seemed like a sensible intermediary because it was widely seen as doing more to elect Mr. Obama than any other union. The service employees’ political action committee spent at least $26 million on Mr. Obama’s behalf in this year’s presidential campaign, making it by far the largest single PAC donor in the campaign.”

I'm speechless.

Perhaps. I read somewhere that he owes $500,000 in lawyer fees already. Expect that amount to double in the next few months.
