Candidate #5 is Jesse Jackson, Jr. 

And him or his agents suggested a total payment of $1M for the seat?  If true, then there may be another congressional seat for Illinois opening up.  :rotf:

I doubt if JJJ was talking directly to Blorg, more likely through intermediaries so there will be a fair chance of plausible deniability in the whole thing...though I don't doubt for a minute he knew a money deal was being worked on his behalf.

The Senate seat is for sell. Going twice. Sold to the highest bidder!

Heh, that sure helped "The One" get elected.  He raised more money, bought more tv ads, and duped the mouth-breathing public into voting for him.

on the scarborough show this morning, the libs (mika, barnacle) were attacking the MSM (attacking themselves, mind you  :thatsright:) for paying too much attention to this "boring non-scandal".  barnacle said, "I have to tape my eyelids open to stay awake".

if this was george bush, they would be speculating on when impeachment proceedings would start. :whatever:

The dems I have seen on the "news shows" have all basically said that even though everyone around Obama is dropping like flies that there is no way in hell he has ever done anything dirty....in his life.  Obama really is just like Jesus apparently.

the number of questionable associations that he has had in his extremely short public life should be setting off alarm bells in newsrooms all over the country.  of course, the media is so utterly in the tank for the guy that they wouldn't hear them if they were going off.

but the clumsiness with which they were trying to bury this whole thing this morning really was pretty sickening.

I don't think BHO got within 1000' of blago, myself.  he isn't that dumb.  you could smell the stench coming off that silly governor a mile away.  but the MSM isn't even mildly curious.

Obama endorsed Blago TWICE (both 2002 and 2006).
