And I used that caption then too. I think we are going to be seeing that combination a LOT in the next 4 years.
Also this will come in handy:

Fox news, other news channel, presser coming up.
“Haha, someone should make a spoof of ironically enough Chicago, and base it on the whole BlagObama circus.”
LOL. That is a brilliant idea! Only will Obama be Roxie or Billy Flynn the flim-flam con artist lawyer?
I think Blago should be Velma.;)
Here is one quote that TA just found:
“If, in fact, the various allegations end up proving to be true, this is ... the far end of the spectrum of that business mentality of politics. But there are more subtle examples of it that are within the lines of legality that still don’t fulfill the reality of service,” he said, citing lobbyists’ “disproportionate” power in Washington.”
He is hedging his bets so that if the truth comes out, he can claim that he was on the legal side of ‘politics as usual’
The man is corrupt and so are the people surrounding him.
That is exactly what he's doing. He out-slicks Bubba.
Give them a lump of coal for Christmas. Or if you are feeling generous, an orange. Tell them that is how things were in the days of FDR and Americans were grateful.
I have a time machine:
Post from January 19th, 2013: "I just spent four years of my life listening to a blabbering fool. DO OVER! I want that time back!"
OK, here’s where it happened - right in the first week after the election. CNN’s article (below) reports that “over the weekend” (which would have been weekend of Nov. 8) CNN (and also a Chicago TV station) had been informed by “Democratic sources” that Valerie Jarrett was Obama’s “choice” to fill “his” US Senate seat. Then by Mon. Nov. 10 an unnamed “senior advisor” to Obama is saying she’s headed for the WH.
Now why that flip-flop after they’d been putting the word out that Obama wanted Jarrett to fill “his” Senate seat??
Maybe, just maybe, the initial contacts were made and Blago made it clear it would be a bidding process?
I’m not with the folks who assume that Obama is implicated in what Blago was doing — I do find it plausible that Obama’s team refused to get into the bidding war, as is indicated in the wiretap transcripts. [of course that could have been just for show, if Obama’s team had been tipped off about the wiretaps]
But the FACTs as related by CNN are that first CNN was tipped off that Valerie Jarrett was Obama’s pick, and then a couple of days later CNN was told that VJ would be gonig to the White House staff instead.

Sources: Jarrett headed to White House, not Senate
Posted: 07:56 PM ET
From CNN Political Director Sam Feist
Valerie Jarrett is one of Barack Obama’s closest advisers.
(CNN) — Two Democratic sources close to President-elect Barack Obama tell CNN that top adviser Valerie Jarrett will not be appointed to replace him in the U.S. Senate.
“While he (Obama) thinks she would be a good senator, he wants her in the White House,” one top Obama advisor told CNN Monday.
Over the weekend, Democratic sources had told CNN as well as Chicago television station WLS-TV that Jarrett was Obama’s choice to fill his Senate seat.
Jarrett, a Chicago attorney and one of Obama’s closest advisers, is a leader of the president-elect’s transition team.
Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, praised her as a “valuable ally.”
“People should know that Valerie Jarrett is — and people do know — she is a very dear friend of the president-elect and a valuable ally of his, not only prior to running for president, in his Senate life, and just personally for Michelle and Barack,” Emanuel said on ABC’s This Week.
Several other Illinois Democrats have expressed interest in the seat, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich will make the final decision on Obama’s successor.

CNN and the other media whores prepared the ground last night for this comment by talking endlessly yesterday about the stuff in the wiretaps that ‘could’ be considered legal and just the ‘way politics are done’.
Pathetic!
To bad it's so early otherwise I would do the drinking game. :>)
Ah, so he is going to use the Al Gore Defense - "no controlling legal authority".
I see where this is heading...
Don't complain. Be the media.
Wikipedia allows ANYONE to begin/edit an article.
Get off the sidelines in the New Media, coach.
I’ve been saying for weeks, at some point BHO is going to have a Jack Nicholson moment (A Few Good Men) and he’s going to blurt out “You can’t handle the truth!”
The press is so excited! That poor child’s body in Florida has been found and now they can get Obama and his thugs off the news today.
It will be wall to wall coverage for the rest of the day by all 3 cable outlets. Mark my words.
PRAVDA = TRUTH!
And I used that caption then too. I think we are going to be seeing that combination a LOT in the next 4 years.
Also this will come in handy:
Along with his birth certificate, his medical records, and John Kerry's military record.
bttt
To be fair, so did Mark Levin...and I don't think he's in the tank for zero.
That’s right! Where is Peach?
If he really said that, then his attorneys are now working his prompter.
