The Tainting of the President-Elect

*** begin quote ***
Wait a minute.
“I had no contact with the governor what….”
That’s the money quote from President-elect Obama in his first comment on the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich for trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat. What was that “what” about to become before Obama stopped himself in mid-sentence in front of the cameras as Al Gore and Joe Biden sat by, stonefaced? The word “whatsoever” perhaps? In which case, did the new president stop himself because he knew that to say “no contact whatsoever” was something that would be provably untrue? According to a now hastily retracted statement by aide David Axelrod, the president-elect had indeed “talked to the governor” about the vacancy.

I found this hard to believe also.

I think the good thing from this is to realize how corrupt our politics really are no matter at what level we are talking about. Whether we are talking local, state or national there are crooks in all of them.

This reeks of a John Kerrism…”I was for the war before I was against it.” In other words, “I spoke with the Illinois governor, before I didn’t speak with him.”
