Message of the Day – BlaGONEvich

I was going to title this “Front Pages,” but my wife’s “Blagonevich” is so much better.

What else could be the “Message of the Day” but the FBI’s arrest of one of my power party opponents for governor?

(You may remember that I ran as a Libertarian for governor against Rod Blagojevich and Jim Ryan in 2002. I got 2% of the vote.)

Got to use these front pages while they last.

Do you like the “Political ‘crime spree'” one from the Chicago Tribune?

Or the Sun-Times “SHAME” better?

Or maybe you like one of the EXTRAS put out by the two papers yesterday.

Last night on TV I got shots of the front pages of the extras put out yesterday afternoon by the Tribune and the Sun-Times.

My favorite?

The Tribune’s today, because it has Barack Obama’s picture on it.

The national news media refused to look at the cesspool from which Obama climbed during the election.

As Dennis Byrne pointed out today, Rod Blagojevich’s arrest gives the Beltway crowd a hint of how corrupt Illinois politics is.

Here is the beginning of his article:

“So, do the rest of you now have some idea of the depth of corruption in Chicago and Illinois, and why some of us were so concerned about electing a president who emerges from this cesspool?”

In the article below this on his blog, “The Barber Shop: Denis Byrne, Propriertor.” below, Bryne points out the discrepancy between what Barack Obama “Senior Adviser” and campaign guru David Axelrod said two weeks ago and what Obama said yesterday about having never having talked to Rod Blagojevich about the U.S. Senate appointment to fill his seat.

Here’s the gist of the story:

Here is the television interview in which Axelrod made the statement.

“Then–voila–here is the statement Axelrod later issued that said he was mistaken.”

Someone is not telling the truth.

That’s for sure.
