The Plot Thickens: Reid Talked to Blagojevich in December
More from the files of the original Kulture of KorruptionFrom TFA: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid didn't want Rep. Jesse Jackson in the Senate, a point he made clear to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in a conversation about filling Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. I wonder what J3 did to deserve this spite from his erstwhile comrades? The Nevada Democrat made one call to Blagojevich on Dec. 3 to discuss the seat vacated by the president-elect, Reid spokesman Jim Manley confirmed. Six days later, authorities arrested Blagojevich for allegedly trying to sell Obama's seat. I couldn't have written this graf better myself.Maybe Reid was trying to trade up. Dunno... Reid accused Blagojevich Saturday of leaking and distorting conversations about the process of filling the vacant seat. You made the call, Harry. Didn't you? Three words, Senator Reid: Appearance of impropriety. Delving into a political situation in another state that was precious little of your very business. Think the regular news will make this point to Reid: that this wasn't this matter of his concern? Posted by: badanov 2009-01-04 |
