This Blagojevich mess on top of the Charlie Rangal scandals is turning out to be a major boon to the republican party. For the last four years the democrats have been attacking the GOP as the Party of scandal. While the truth of it is that there have been enough monkey business on both sides, in most cases the media has been reporting the two much differently. A story about a Democratic scandal is usually void of any mention of party affiliation, when a Republican gets caught there is usually a giant R pained on the politicians face.
But in these cases there is much opportunity, Charlie Rangel is the gift that keeps on giving as the NY Democrat has a brand new scandal arise on what seems to be a weekly basis. In Illinois, the press is finally loking in to the scope of the corruption within the Chicago Machine. The Breadth of the names involved and even the people not involved is making a big scandal even bigger. It has even given the Republican Party to create its first Obama video since the election (above).
These scandals will give the GOP an opportunity to start chipping away at the Democrats, aura of invincibility, the way the Dems started doing in 2004, its part of the normal cycle of politics called, "Payback's a B*tch"......

What Charlie Rangel scandal?
Signed,
Your Local Paper.
The author completely misses the point. Conservatives should be pleased that a socialist is being weakened. His ability to do damage is somewhat lessened.
But the author acts as if there is some significance if R’s were to take power based on D scandals. But if the same old R’s take power by focusing on the D stink, we just get stinky R’s in power. In 1994 and 1980, we won elections that were about something other than which corrupt batch of turds control congress and the white house.
Justice is sometimes sweet provided the right figures out how to attack a Democrat without hitting itself in the balls.
There is a small chip in the dam, a gimmer of light at the end of a tunnel, the early predawn sunlight of a chance that America will get tired of these political machines that waste so much money and time of Americans all to support lofty dreams of godlike rulership, and I hope most people are aware that Hilary Clinton is also from Chicago from way back long ago and probably was tied in at some point in years past.
We need to nullify the election and start all over.
Well now...that's a troublesome feat.
It's one I hope they will attempt, but I don't expect much. ;o)
I can’t believe someone in the media was allowed to mention the Charlie Rangel scandal. I assume he’ll be in the unemployment line by Monday.
I love how the RNC is using an Olbermann show clip against Olbermann’s messiah!
I am still in shock that Olbermann would have someone on who told the truth about Obama and Blago. That guy will probably never be on the show again.
It hasn't translated into votes and power. The GOP has been decimated since 2006.
How many threads is this photo montage going to show up in? 7,976?
Aren’t we testy this morning.
Republicans had better get their act together and get ready for 2010.
I don’t mind seeing it more than once.
Big deal. It doesn’t matter how many scandals the RATS have.
A) The election’s over. We lost. We now have a Socialist country run by unqualified morons whose combined intellect doesn’t equal that of one of George W. Bush’s turds - and HE’S not exactly bright, either.
B) One of the aforementioned morons, who was elected because of his skin color, will pack the Supreme court with Liberals, who will make “fair and reasoned” decisions, like “free speech is bad!” and declare “National Abortion Rights Day!” a holiday.
Whatever the RATS do, the mainstream media won’t care. Won’t report it. And if WE bitch and moan about it, we’ll just be written off as the kook fringe, or accused of having sour grapes because OUR Socialist, anti-constitutionalist candidate didn’t win.
Really, I’d LOVE to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Instead, I see a mass of rubble where the tunnel used to be.
I don’t see anything I like in the future myself.
At the main link in this story, watch the new RNC video, at about the 2 minute mark, they play a clip of Richard Wolffe on Keith Olbermanns show Countdown on MSNBC.
