Questions to ask over Hot Rod Blagojevich scandal.

Politics:

1) What did the SEIU Union and its officials know about Blago pay scheme and how deep have they been with him over the years.

2) Obama is flat out lying about not talking to Blago about who should replace him in the Senate. No way in hell would Obama not talk to him about it. Tapper pointed out that David Axelrod was pretty damn certain that Obama did talk to him.

But on November 23, 2008, his senior adviser David Axelrod appeared on Fox News Chicago and said something quite different. While insisting that the President-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a "kingmaker," Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them." (UPDATE: An Obama Transition Team aide says that Axelrod misspoke on Fox News Chicago.) (UPDATE #2: Axelrod this evening issued a statement saying. "I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.")

They backpedaled fast.

3) The potential senate candidates especially candidate #5 who looked to raise money or favors for Blago need to be outed.

"Later on December 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke to Fundraiser A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he was "elevating" Senate Candidate 5 on the list of candidates for the open Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH with something "tangible up front." ROD BLAGOJEVICH noted he was going to meet with Senate Candidate 5 in the next few days."

The good money it was Jesse Jackson Jr and really that looks like a Jackson move doesn't it?

This is just the beginning as Blago shows the nation what Chicago politics is all about, the problem was he went so overboard you couldn't help but nail him for it.
