EMAIL REQUESTS IGNORED???? SURPRISE, SURPRISE!   December 12th, 2008 - 3:29 am

What do you mean, “they did not return multiple email requests for comments”???? WHO emails comments when you are trying to do investigative reporting about THEM?!?!?!?!??!!?

Even if you were not doing investigative reporting about the PEOPLE you are trying to question, WHY would you bother with a PASSIVE method like email?!?! SHEESH! Are these guys kidding or just stupid?

Why don’t they try the old MIKE WALLACE approach and tackle the guys in their hallways or parking lots with cameras rolling?!?!?!?!? Maybe THEN you’d get some “NEWS”!!

Rahm is to be Obumma’s chief of staff, if he gets the gig will the media rail on him like they did Rove? If this starts to look like something sleazy will they go after him like they did Skooter?
Seems prez-elect Hope-n-change may be in for a rough ride IF the media is as ‘fair and un-biased’ as they claim….not

No surprise   December 12th, 2008 - 8:26 am

Controversy already with BO’s administration and he hasn’t even stepped into office. The 52 million drones that voted for him may eventually understand that BO is not bringing change but more of the same crooked, democrat, liberal, crap.

Socialist/communistic “new” Democratic definition for “change” = same ol…same ol!
=====================

Well…it is on tape…and we will know and the “Messiah of Islam” knows also.

But, of course, he has, again, kept his hands clean by having one of his flunkies doing his dirty work…that is the way it is done in Chicago!

It is either Emanual or Axelrod.

I feel a “change” coming on…a change in a close position to the new President you elected…isn’t the “change” he promised…great!

Change keeps coming and coming and coming!
=========================

JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN”!

(Wow…isn’t it great how we can now officially use his name without being called a “racist”? – yet just another “change”!

It’s already starting before he’s sworn in.
This is standard operating procedure for Chicago politics-breathtaking corruption.
Keep in mind that Rahm”the Israeli citizen”is the one who advocates using your kids to fight foreign wars under the guise of “mandatory volunteerism”.
This will be an entertaining 4 years.

Think about the “jew boy” Barney Frank too.!!!

U.S. Government = israeli Cesspool

Airwick   December 12th, 2008 - 10:19 am

If there is no quid pro quo then there is no problem. I would have expected Mr. Emanuel to have had conversations with Blagojevich about a successor to Mr. Obama’s Senate seat. Anyone regardless of party affiliation would have done so and would be considered to be normal activity. The question that should be asked is very simple. Was an illegal deal struck (or even suggested) by a member of Obama’s inner circle? There is absolutely NO evidence of that occurring.

Nice try though…

the professor   December 12th, 2008 - 10:19 am

airwick…please wait until the indictments are handled down from the grand jury before you state there is NO evidence. there is more to be revealed.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   December 12th, 2008 - 10:24 am

Socialist/communistic “new” Democratic definition for “change” = same ol…same ol!
=========================
Dear Airwick…you have not yet heard all the tapes…just the ones they wanted to release.

You can bet there is more. The reason that this was released at this time was evident by the reaction of those investigating this case…it was disgusting.

Someone said something so illegal and unbelieveable that they had to put a stop to it!

I just hope that this is revealed prior to January 20th…because after January 20th the main man in this scenario…will be in power and he will see to it…this investigation never sees the light of day!

The new man in Washington is part of the Chicago machine…now you see how it works…no change here…politics as usual…Chicago politics as usual…it is what got him to where he is today…and you can believe that others in the Chicago machine know alot more about how he got there than you or I.

Airwick   December 12th, 2008 - 10:33 am

Professor,
Allow me to qualify my statement.

There is NO evidence TO DATE that anything improper occurred between the two parties. You are correct. We will have to wait until more information is made available before we pass final judgment.

doogle   December 12th, 2008 - 10:38 am

Rahm…currently being measured for the latest style in “bus tread marks”…or, was that prison stripes.

janj   December 12th, 2008 - 12:19 pm

airwick you are a pathtic obama man

I believe Obama hands are clean in this complaint.

kinthenorthwest   December 12th, 2008 - 1:37 pm

Ok was the video scrubbed by Fox alone, or was it due to someone in Obama campaign.
If you look around the internet has had a big Obama Spring Cleaning since they arrested the governor.

the professor   December 12th, 2008 - 3:26 pm

OK, as The Professor(aka Carnac) and entitled to make wild claims, guesses, speculation, predictions, insane comments and crazy ramblings based on nothing but the voices in my head:

I PREDICT(fingers touching my temples) that RAHM EMANUEL will be found to be THE Point of Contact for the Obama/Blagojevich political crime gang for “pay to play” sale of the U.S.Senate Seat.

AND he will not resign, but instead call his Rabbi to his house and asked him to pray for him.

You read it here first.

Class dismissed!!!. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!!!

grik   December 12th, 2008 - 7:23 pm

I believe it is Rahm who tipped off the feds. He is sharp as a knife and willing to play rough.

Obama and his team are clean as freshly laundered linens.

It is a great blessing that this country finally has leadership that is morally sound.

Dr Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   December 12th, 2008 - 7:43 pm

NEW SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTIC DEMOCRATIC DEFINITION OF CHANGE: SAME OL’ SAME OL’
===================

Oh Grik…you are so, so naive!

Do you really think that the “Messiah of Islam” who won his Senate seat in Illinois by making sure his competitors were thrown off the ballot…is not a part of this Chicago machine?

Let’s not talk about the Governor’s wife…let’s talk about Michele, the wife of the “Messiah of Islam”. Was she not given a six figure job miraculously after he got the Senate job? What do you think that was…because she suddenly because an expert at her job?

How about that sweetheart loan from convicted felon…Rezko.

Are not these all the signs of corruption and payback for politicians?

Get real…Grik…your leader is deep, deep into this machine…that is why the Governor is not stepping down…he has more in that head of his that could dam alot of people than you realize.

So the great “white” hope that was going to bring such integrity and change as usual in Washington…has brought more dirt and corruption and baggage with him than we all realize or know…but we will…oh yes…we will!

StevenW   December 13th, 2008 - 3:01 pm

Bug them all and be done with it. We do not have time for sleezebag politicians, left, middle or right. Let them live like the common man, without free gas cards and cradle to grave healthcare and benefits. Initiate term limits, IRS audits and “random” FBI surveillance and let no one be immune from pubic scrutiny.

They serve us, NOT the other way around.

The Biggest Eileen FAN   December 14th, 2008 - 9:48 pm

WHY?
WHY?
Why is everyone demanding answers now? Are you all, including the press, idiots?
This is a criminal case which I fully support because Blago is a criminal, but it is a criminal case and if they let out any more evidence then they already have, it could lead to a mistrial. So therefore stop demanding more. It is NOT your right to know anything until such time it is proper.
