Awe Gawd! KO just reported on Sun-Times columnist's rumbling of Blago/Rahm tape count!
Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 08:58 PM by FrenchieCat
Now, considering this is KO....reading this as **breaking news** is awfully sad! But that is just what happened! :crazy:

The rumbling that he is referring to:

1. yes, that was quite dramatic
considering that the person speaking of these rumblings has gotten these "rumblings" wrong before (Chicago sun times person, not Keith). And the "Breaking News" banner always scares the shit out of me, and then pisses me off when it's something that DU has known about for hours.

2. Now, Rachel is rachetting it up......
and they both are in agreement that they don't know if the columnist really knows anything.....

but yet, they are discussing it as though this must be so; her and Keith.

I don't even get it. :shrug:

5. They didn't discuss it as though it must be so at all.
They seemed quite skeptical and tentative to me.

6. IT was stilll hailed as "breaking news".....which in itself is quite disturbing.
The one sentence unsourced rumblings of a columnist should not be called "News". period.

4. I just think news networks over-use the
"breaking news" banner in general...usually it's something that's not really a big deal, but I think it will be when I hear that little music coming on. When will I learn?

7. I predict they will find nothing there because Fitz would have included
Rahm in the complaint. I think Rahm knew he was being taped.
:dem:

8. It was bullshit news and part of the reason Fitz wont let Obama clear his name.
I wonder what other little surprises they are going to drop this week to keep the press talking about the "scandals" that are "dogging" Obama.

Obama needs to do some leaking of his own and have someone leave the documents that clear him in a taxi so that a writer from the Huffington Post can just accidentally find and publish them. Ooops. Our bad! Sauce for the gander.

9. who cares....there`s nothing in this bullshit that ties barack to blago
the obama faction of the democrats never trusted blago and never endorsed each other for office. everyone that follows the democratic party infighting in illinois knows this. we also know that fitzgerald was brought here to clean up the democrats but was side tracked by the ryan scandal.we know now that fitzgerald crew was on blago`s case for three years.

what i do know is that none of these "sources" are coming from fitzgeralds office,they are coming from people who have axes to grind....
