are he and his staff too busy to remove this incriminating stuff form his own SITE??
it will likely be scrubbed shortly
KHQA then denies knowledge that such the meeting actually took place.
“The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.”

Good thing someone got a screen grab.
This is beyond outrageous. This is something that simply should not happen in a free society.
I am beginning to question whether we will have one much longer.
Perhaps Carol Sowers can get interviewed.
First by fifty people in the proported “media”, then by the FBI.
Wow. When you experience this kind of history in the making/undoing, it is simply amazing and sickening at the same time.
What a story....This is interesting.....
The ad on that page is painfully ironic.
Good catch.. um er.. cache even.
Pulled story #2.
Duckworth comments on consideration for Senate
By Alexis Hunt
Saturday, November 08, 2008 at 9:48 p.m.
QUINCY, IL — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There’s already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Duckworth made an appearance in Saturday’s Veterans’ parade in Quincy. We asked her about the possibility of filling Obama’s seat.
“The Governor’s office confirmed yesterday that he is considering me and I am deeply honored jus to be considered. I hope whoever is selected is someone who is willing to travel around the state and gets to know this wonderful state. I’m just honored to be considered,” Duckworth said.
The governor expects to make his decision before Christmas. Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.

PS. Duckworth (Durbin’s Fitz pawn?) lied!

This is Marxism at work, we will all be herded into pens after Jan. 20th!
BTTT
I am reminded of the frequent repainting of the barn wall in Orwell’s Animal Farm. This is frightening.
Welcome to “1984”.
My email to the News Tip/Request for coverage email.
Request for coverage:
From your recently recanted article page:
KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So my question is from the news article from your site several days LATER on November 8, 2008 discussing the meeting that HAD TAKEN PLACE. When talking about Duckworth.
My question being, were you just sloppy and lazy reporters? Or liars?
Thank you,

Rewriting history. How Orwellian.
The problem is that there is no source and within the bounds of reason to assume she just made it up to make a good story.
It is reasonable to assume it is not true when there is no confirmation elsewhere.
What are the odds bookmark for later.

~~~~23. I worked in Illinois politics for a time
Organizer/lobbyist on education funding.
It was clear from the start of his campaign how rotten Blago was from that beginning. The huge campaign contributions were monstrous, the aides he imported from New York (in prep for a White Hosue bid) were as arrogant as he was, & treated everyone else like they were dogs to do their bidding.
His slimy corruption was evident to anyone from day one. Even his aides down in the depts. were demanding campaign contributions and even sexual favors in return for grants. (they weren't the only ones, the current Majority WHip & chair of the state Appropriations committees is notorious for his demands from women involved with non-profits)
I'm sure lots of people make deals with the devil they think they can handle, but anyone who didn't know what a piece of shit this faux-Kennedy imitator, faux-Elvis impersonator, was simply fooling themsleves.
Of course, denial is more important than water, food, or sex -- we can all live a day w/o those, but few of us (including me) can go a day w/o practicing some form of denial. ~~~~~
Powerful post. Thanks.
