there is no evidence that Obama did anything wrong.

I didn’t say he did anything wrong. In my original post, I said that Illinois/Chicago corrupt politics would cause problems for Obama and that supporters and the media had not examined that possibility.

Now we have this scandal right out the chute before he can even assume office. I told you so.

Expect more problems. Now that they can use the state’s corruption against a Democratic president, the national Republicans will dig and dig. Remember, they have years to dig up stuff.

More critically, is Thoreau’s Razor:

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.

There’s no evidence that Bush told a lie about WMDs and Iraq.

Funny how the mantra’s different depending on the source, innit?

That would be direct evidence. Rezko’s buddy for 20 years. Check. Worked on Blago’s campaign for Governor twice – check. Penny Pritzker worked as campaign finance chairman. Check. Joe Johnson on the VP selection team until it became inconvenient. Check. Singled out by Daniel Mudd as a friend of Fannie’s. Check.

Seems like a lot of loose threads that can be pulled on to see what unravels.

He misspoke – or was taken out of context – it is blasphemy to doubt the Chosen One.

He didn’t lie. Republican’s lie. Democrats are less than artful.

After all, he’s their guy.
