By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
The scandal involving Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is spreading. Not only is President-elect Barack Obama caught up in the morass, so is U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Example: On Thursday morning a Google search for "Blagojevich" listed stories about corruption charges against the governor. But they were listed next to a picture of Obama, not Blagojevich.
The more disturbing example:
Someone in the camp of Jackson may have told Blagojevich that $500,000 could be raised for the governor if he appointed Jackson to the U.S. Senate to replace Obama.
That was what the taped conversations with the governor revealed, although no names have been released of who talked with Blagojevich about the Senate seat.
On Wednesday Jackson said he had "engaged in no wrongdoing." Previously, Obama has said he has done nothing wrong in regard to an appointment to his seat.
Law enforcement officials have indicated that Jackson was not recorded talking to the governor.
Still, the charges against Blagojevich have raised the ugly stench of Illinois-style corruption around Obama at the most inopportune time -- as he's preparing to become president.

Funny how Chicago mayors
Funny how Chicago mayors have been poisoned, corrupt prior mayors of that same city have gone unprosecuted, current admin. including the president have ignored congressional Subpoena to obviously cover up crimes, CIA agents have been outted, (Treasonous) family associations involving Bush's Grandfather Prescott (Union Bank Siezure due to Nazi financing)have gone unmentioned, Congressional associations to convicted crooks (McCain/Charles Keating) go unmentioned, Lobbyist influenced Congressional peddling (McCain\Georgia)almost resulting in another war, Presidental signon letters subverting the Constitution, Illegal wars conducted on Sovereign nations on false pretenses, war crimes committed resulting in hundreds of thousands of innocent military / civillians deaths all result in no indictments and take a second seat to this...The attempt to disallow Change as a result of a Black man being elected or others speaking out (J. Jackson, A. Sharpton)against the establishment. They are all being targeted just like the Kennedy's, King, Malcolm, Evers by the same Very Powerful, Evil, Establishment that has given us the J.Edgar Hoovers, Bush's, KKK and the Entire History of this countries Imperialist past. It seems All the same. Hatred and partisian politics rearing its Ugly head again. I ask what will it take to turn this around and save our country, Revolution? The nation still appears Too Sick for True change to happen democratically or does that truly exist here? "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...Ephesians 6:12.

What is incredibly stupid is believing that a guy who pals with Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, Mayor Daley, a crooked Governor, and so on and on, is totally honest. No change, it is blindingly stupid.

I agree with kenm_1262, and think we should back off and wait to see what comes of this. I really hope that Obama is not involved. He got elected (not my choice), and if something happens, we've got Joe Biden. So conservatives, be careful what you wish for.
Lets give Obama and Jackson
Lets give Obama and Jackson the benefit of the doubt for now. The problem with machine politics is even if you are not actually doing any of the things others are accused of you get labeled as someone who is. President Truman had a very similar problem with the Pendergast machine. No one ever proved Truman was complicit in any of the shady deals, but his associations with Pendergast did hurt him. I think this may be the case with Obama, so for now lets give him the benefit of doubt and he should address the issue to clear the air.

kenm_1262 And they called Bush stupid yet President Elect Obama after 20 years of association knows little about the views of Jeremiah Wright , after working on the campaign to get the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich elected knows little about Blagojevich's antics (corruption,entanglement, transition team??? Hey! who is Obama's preferred candidate to the Illinois Open Senate seat??? Attorney Fitzgerald called it a "political-corruption crime spree.) I call it don't ask don't tell. Or rather hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
President-elect Barack Obama
President-elect Barack Obama and Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr. are Illinois politicians, therefore, they must be guilty of something. Governor Sarah Palin is an Alaskan politician, so she must also be guilty of something. Governor Bobby Jindal is a Louisiana politician, so he too must be guilty of something. Caroline Kennedy is a budding New York politiician so she probably knows some of the scoundrels in that state. Taken to its illogical conclusion, all politicians from Illinois, Alaska, Louisiana, and New York must be tainted by scandal of some kind and should never never run for a higher office. How incredibly stupid.

As long as Alphabet preaches the "party line" you moonbats love him. But, let him ask the obvious about Yomama's shady pals and you go off on him....Not too obvious......
Where There Is Smoke There
Where There Is Smoke There Is Usually At The Very Least Some Fire. Jessie Jr May Not Go Down For The Crime, But You Can Bet Your Last Penny That His Intentions We Not So Upstanding And Pristine.
Why Wouldn't Jr. Answer Questions At The "Press Conference"? Isn't That What A "Press Conference" Is All About? It Was More Like A "Public Reading Of A Carefully Prepared And Crafted Response" Rather Than A Press Conference.
And If He IS So "Guilt Free" As He So Loudly Maintains, Why Does He Need A Lawyer?
Me Thinks He Protests Too Much.

newdealer,
I aagree with you 100%. It seems to me that he has different blogs to appeal to the whole political spectrum. Also his headlines are sensational and the blogs don't always back them up.
His articles in the Star are OK and I see him each week on "Ruckus" and he's reasonable there.
Somebody said it before, he's maintaining blogs with lots of discussion (but no integrty) in order to appear relevant.
