UPDATE: An Obama Transition Team aide says that Axelrod misspoke on Fox News Chicago.
“Fitzgerald let the Valerie Plame investigation keep going and going for years after he knew who the leaker was, Richard Armitage. But Fitzgerald shut down the Blago investigation in the middle of a crime spree.”
Who was Blago leading the FBI to? a certain Kenyan??
He misspoke. LOL He said it pretty loud and clear LOL. I have a feeling we will be hearing the word “misspoke” A LOT in these coming weeks
OOOO-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played
(chorus)
O-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played
A Rezko here, a Blago there
my friends have Chi-town ties
They'll all go to prison, I'll be riding high!!
(chorus)
O-bama's a crook and he gets paid
He rips the right and the left's gets played
I take some bribes, appoint the thugs, put the public on
Soon you'll wear a burkah, just like dear old mom...
Mr. Tapper: Thanks for waking up from the coma, pal. You are more than welcome to look deep into the heart if the Springfield “Combine” and shed the light of truth about cross-party protectionism and power brokerage.
What the black “messiah” being anything but perfect?
Nah, by golly I think we’ll see him walk on water.
*beep beep beep beep* (bus backing up) *beep beep beep*
I wonder if the MSM will take this opportunity to dig into the cesspool that is Chicago Dem politics. Oh wait, I answered my own question.
And who’d he speak to about the HHS cabinet position? Who is the advisor in the affidavit and when did Obama know?
The more of this story you read, the deeper the doo doo gets. Zero is in this up to his big ears.
The FBI has records on everyone that spoke with this crook.
Let's hope they have more spine than the Supremes.
Come Jan. 20, 2009, Obama can pardon Blagojevich and fire Fitzgerald, no?
Translation:
"Spoke the truth"
I seriously doubt that they are going to find anything that will stick to Obama but it certainly doesn’t look good for him at all. Fitz isn’t looking at Obama for anything. If Rezko had anything to deal he would have by now.
If the BIG “O” is talking...He’s lying!
get used to it.
Even before he takes office, his first scandal breaks.
Chicago. Geez...
I said earlier on another thread, Mr. Axelrod, meet Obama’s bus!
In this Dec. 2, 2008 file photo, President-elect Barack Obama, right, greets Illinois Gov. Rob Blagojevich, left, at the Bipartisan meeting of the National Governor's Association in Philadelphia. Federal authorities in Chicago have arrested Blagojevich, and they've accused him of attempting to benefit financially from his position to appoint a Barack Obama's Senate replacement. Looking on are Gov. of Indiana., Mitch Daniels, left center, and Gov. of Ohio, Ted Strickland, right center.
Asked what contact he'd had with the governor's office about his replacement in the Senate, President-elect Obama today said "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening."
But on November 23, 2008, his senior adviser David Axelrod appeared on Fox News Chicago and said something quite different.
While insisting that the President-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a "kingmaker," Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."
