MANAGER'S MEMO 12/16/08

Blagogate enters its second week with plenty to ponder. Like last
week…let me hit some key points to consider as this stain widens.

-The silence of former Illinois Congressman and the proposed chief of
staff to the president-elect, Rahm Emanuel, certainly is deafening.
Emanuel once bragged that he and Obama had masterminded Rob
Blagojevich's 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Now he is dodging reporters
and offering zero comment. It is logical that Emanuel had
conversations with Hot Rod…..nothing wrong there. The silence is
probably because Emanuel is all over the wire taps. Anything he says
now --can't dispute what appears on the tapes….which are sure to be
released eventually.

-On another front I continue to see the national media go completely
into the tank for the incoming president. Remember when the GOP named
Sarah Palin as VP? Remember the dozens of reporters and investigators
that rushed to tiny Wasilla, Alaska to find dirt? Good grief, they
were relentless. But look where Obama cut his teeth? Chicago,
Illinois--- Where graft is a birthright. And yet, there was woefully
little reporting on Obama's rise through the southside of the windy
city.

-Who is the sitting Governor meeting these days? One day he is meeting
with a group of ministers and the next he is meeting with rapper R.
Kelly's attorney. What an interesting lesson in diversity….One day
breaking bread with the monsignor and asking for forgiveness…and the
next asking a criminal lawyer how to cut the best deal to save his own
skin…..What an interesting life.

And finally, I received an e-mail from an Illinois native last
week….and this is what it said on the bottom of the
message-----“quote” -----

“Being a native Illinoisan means being a “can-do” person. Heck, even
our Governors roll up their sleeves and make license plates.”

Maybe Blago is trying to make it a state crime instead of a Federal crime
and then he can pardon himself.

Well, locals have already discussed what he can do with himself.....
LOL!- Hide quoted text -

Well, it looks like Blago is going to get away with it as a "joke"...
The Dems (surprise, surprise) are going to fight to keep him in
office. Like I said, if it was a repub, he would already be out...

Well, One thing I've wondered. Objectively speaking, was a crime
really committed? I've thought about this and he *tried* to sell the
senate seat, but was nabbed before any cash 'n prizes changed hands.

Don't take me wrong, I think he's an unethical scumbag and always
have. Really. And offering is a sin, but is it a crime?

Actually i think he should be outed because we're tired of his crap.
But that probably won't happen.

If you're solicited by a whore, isn't he guilty of solicitation whether or
not the act took place? Assuming, of course, that whoring is illegal in
your state. (We know it's not illegal in Maryland.)

This from a John who was solicited and accepted by the U.S. Army to go
to Vietnam and kill women and children?

Harry, that statement is unbelievable.

Do you have any idea how ignorant a statement like that makes you sound,
Krause. Liberal arts scholar, indeed. What was your major, Basket Weaving?

You actually believed all that John Kerry ****, didn't you?

Actually, Harry, I *did* go on a lot of MEDCAPS and DENTCAPS. Some of the
folks we saw may have *thought* they were being killed!

You're stooping, but, like a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk, you can't
get much lower. You'll attract a lot of attention though!

Sorry, never heard any of it from Kerry. Hardly heard of him at all
until he ran for POTUS.

You forget, I was there, I have a lot of contemporaries who were there,
too, and there was plenty of news coverage of our excesses aimed at
propping up Vietnam's right-wing government.

You'd be just the sort of asshole who would get a woody from
waterboarding someone.

Reaally Harry? You were in Vietnam? Press corps? USO tour? Civilian spy?

Here's a hint, Tim. Herring spends most of his day here trying to insult
me, directly or (his specialty) indirectly. I'm merely returning the
favor. I haven't noticed *you* going after Herring or any of his pack of
juvenile jackals for insulting me.

I have no idea what Herring did in Vietnam. He could have been handing
out soap, for all I care.
