Well, there it is.

 

Wow.

 

I'm glad this all got caught ahead of time, but wow, what a debacle.

[Pangloss]

He denies the allegation, and there's no direct evidence of it so far as I know. But the right wing has already latched on to this and is running with it pell-mell.

 

It'll be interesting to follow this.

OTOH, Obama couldn't have bought better exhoneration with all the non-deleted expletives Blago that hurled at Obama regarding Senate Candidate #1.

[Sisyphus]

Yeah, it's funny. I would have expected a lot more conspiracy theories implicating Obama flying around. (Or maybe there are, and I've just been lucky enough to remain ignorant.) But it doesn't seem like it's going to be much of a distraction for him at all. I'm glad the Rampant Corruption of Illinois Politics story came out after the election...

Riddle me these, Batman:

 

How many politicians can walk through a sewer and come out teflon clean and smelling of roses?

How many politicians can walk through a sewer unobserved?

How many voters will care?

 

That is an easy one, Robin: However many can afford the cleaning bill, only one at a time, and only those that did not vote for him.

I'm a little slow and had to put this in a form I could understand but it seems pretty much true to me.
