Scrambled Eggs and Rahm
In an ABC news item yesterday, titled Emanuel: I’m Getting Death Threats Over Blagojevich Scandal, Rahm Emanuel, president-elect Obama’s choice for Chief of Staff, is questioned about whether he is the unnamed presidential advisor referred to in the FBI affidavit which lays out the charges against Blagojevich for allegedly attempting to sell Obama’s vacant senate seat to the highest bidder. Here is Rahm’s response to the question.
“You’re wasting your time,” Emanuel told a Chicago Sun Times reporter yesterday. “I’m not going to say a word to you. I’m going to do this with my children. Don’t do that. I’m a father. I have two kids. I’m not going to do it.”
If I have ever read a more scrambled response to a direct question, I cannot recall where. Does Rahm’s response have any meaning at all? First he states that “I’m not going to say a word to you,” then he babbles out “I’m going to do this with my children. Don’t do that. I’m a father. I have two kids. I’m not going to do it.” What the hell does all that mean, in response to the question at hand? Absolutely nothing. And this guy is going to be a mouthpiece for words drooling out of Obama’s mouth?
What is going on here, in regards to unanswered questions about Blagojevich, his greedy overreach, and the favor trade of the corrupt politcal machine which is Illinois politics, is simply delaying tactics as Obama and his team of crooks enforce their version of omerta or the police code of silence while they arm twist, call in favors and setup the appropriate fall guy to protect the supposed gilded facade of Obama.
As for Obama’s role in this, let me assure you, it will be “found” to be nonexistent. After all, he is currently the consumate politician of the day, at the head of the class, and in this rotten class, the consumate politician does not rise to the top by carelessly leaving any skeletons to be found in the closets. And, if any skeletons were to be found with dead, bony fingers pointing at Obama, rest assured that Obama’s faithful will have some sucker prepared to immolate himself for the king by claiming that the dead, bony fingers are not pointing at Obama but at himself.
