Implicated in Scandal, Emanuel Silent for Once
Illinois Review ^ | Dec 12 2008 | Illinois Review Editor

Posted on 12/12/2008 1:16:19 PM PST by chicagolady

Ya gotta love the fallout, as the Dem-roaches continue to scatter today. Obama's staff -- especially Rahm Emanuel -- DID talk to the Governor. The Republican Congressional Caucus is on it. Via email...

Washington -- According to breaking media reports, Nancy Pelosi’s former right-hand man and incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was in contact with disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich about his crooked pay-to-play scheme to fill Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat. While Obama has vociferously denied any staff involvement, reports indicate that Blagojevich and the former Congressman may have had a taped conversation about the Governor’s possibly criminal plan to fill the empty seat:

I hate to admit it, but I live in the Illinois 5th congresional district!

My first Congressman was Rostinkowski who went to prison, then Rod Blagojevich was my Illinois 5th Congressman and he is on his way to prison, then Rahm Emmanuel was my Illinois 5th congressman, God only knows where he'll end up!

What's a girl to do!!

I am a victim of circumstances!!

Well the Obama is looking worse than Clinton. It will be fun watching the media try to save their hero.

The way I see it. They will have to give the gov a deal to shut him up. He can probly bring Obammy down along with a lot of others who will also get deals. Emanual and Jackson may have to go down too. But the Crats and the media MUST save Obama. The massaging will be interesting. This whole Federal Government is totally out of control and will bring us all down.

chicagolady, what is wrong with the people in the 5th dist that keep voting these crumbs in. I think maybe the people are suspect. How many are on dists payroll?

I was born in Chicago and was on the ChgoPoliceDept from 68 to 72. Left and put some miles between me and that city. It’s shame on the City, but then people that live there don’t think so. Go figure.

At least yours are going to prison. I wish mine could be sent there!

The real crying shame is that our Republican Party is so screwed up and so impotent and so in the sack for the Democrats.

Our so called “Leaders” Andy McKenna , Tom Cross Christine Radongo are such a disgrace it is laughable!

I have to laugh or otherwise I would cry!!

Obama is set on breaking all Dem records. He’s involved in corruption before he’s even sworn in.

Rush was talking about how ballet-boy was whining and sniveling about how the scandal has affected him and he’s gotten “death threats” etc. This is the same guy who sends dead fish to others he wants to intimidate. The RATS are always the same - they’re real tough guys until the flame gets turned up on them. Then they go crying like little school girls.

Then you should look into reserving a cabin at White Pines State Park next fall. You have to reserve early, but it’s beautiful when the leaves change, and the food is excellent; especially the Sunday brunch.

Also Oregon, our county seat (the state park is about 12 miles West of Oregon), has a downtown craft fair in late September that has a lot of booths and attendance. Someplace to visit when you want to get out of traffic...

The problem is the CORRUPT REPUBLICAN Party of Illinois is just as much to blame. If you are not a RINO, they will not let you run!! They will do EVERYTHING to work against you!!

I asked this on an earlier thread on the same subject:

Is it me, or have we had far less Zer0 over the past couple of days? I know he did brief pressers over the past few days naming a cabinet member and claiming he had no knowledge the City of Chicago even existed, but we lived so many weeks now with the MSM preaching minute by minute, "What is the President Elect going to do" about every issue - bailouts, economy, world affairs, you name it. Now it seems we have quickly gone back to having one President.

My question is: didn’t the governor know about the FBI probe? And if he did, wouldn’t the Obama camp have known about it too? What was the governor thinking when he laid out his plans for selling Obama’s seat on a line that he had to at least suspect was tapped? As for Emmanuel, there’s nothing unusual about a chief of staff of an outgoing Senator to speak with the governor about someone to replace the Senator. So, why is Emmanuel refusing to speak when he has such a reasonable and believable alibi? Have the Democrats become so arrogant with power that they think that taped conversations can’t hurt them? Unbelievable.
