ABC News: FBI: Illinois Governor Sought To "Sell" Obama's Senate Seat

Tried to sell Obama's senate seat in exchange for favors

(dmek wanted to post this but was confused when he saw that Blagojevich isn't a Republican )

Crap, you beat me to it (I think)!

[SmootSmack]

yeah, I'll lock yours. I was wondering when you'd post this

[saden1]

Let's face it, back scratching and politics go hand-in-hand but this idiot takes it to another level...unfortunately for him it's to a criminal level. I mean, you're under investigation for crying out loud so why would you openly talk about getting something in return for appointing someone to the Senate? I guess he didn't take Crookedness 101 and Movies 101.

Funny how when they mention Obama in the photo and a comment by Dick Durbin they put that D right after their name but it seem to be missing after Blagojevich name through out the entire article. I have noticed this with all the major media but if its a Repubilcan it is in the first sentence if it doe not start with the word Repubilcan

Of course, it's the goddamn liberal media bias! In times like this we must rely on Papa Bear and neocons of Fox News to guide us...

Well please explain why the D is behind the other Dem's names not involved or that no where does it say he is a dem?

I asked a simple question and pointed out something I noticed with this article so I'm not sure why you went to another source.

I've said this before First, but media bias - while perhaps true - is an issue you don't understand. Not even a little bit. When people talk about media bias they are not talking about little d's and r's.

Oh yeah there is definite bias, but it does have little to do with Democrats. I took several classes on that exact question. Mass Media and American Politics, great stuff and dispels a lot of this BS.

I was a mass media major so I'm sure we've studied a lot of the same stuff. It's a deep and fascinating issue and it's a shame to see it discussed so often in such primitive terms.

So you took your little liberal bias class with some liberal professor to explain how it is not bias. OK. Please now explain what I pointed out as you seem to skip that subject. Now one of Obama's top advisers just two weeks ago said that he "obama" had talk with Blagojevich about filling that seat but now Obama says he had no conmunication with Blagojevich. So now some one can not be telling the truth.
