Saturday morning ;when the press sleeps in late , Subpoenas were issued in the Blogo Federal Case .
Among the list of those being served is a who's who of Obama insiders ;including major players in his new administration.

Here are the biggies :

David Axelrod, Obama's "Karl Rove" . No one that I'm aware of was even naming him in the scandal.

Valerie Jarrett, Blago's "Senate Candidate #1.It is well known that she was Obama's 1st choice for the Senate seat. When it became clear that she was damaged goods Obama selected Jarrett as White House Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison ;a position that does not need confirmation.

Rahmbo Emanuel , White House Chief of Staff ......He had reportedly as many as 21 conversations with Blago's office during the period in question.

Tony Rezko, We detailed his advocacy as Obama's first fundraiser and adviser during the campaign . Rezko is "cooperating with authorities " and his cutting the best deal he can get . He is already convicted .

Where was the press ? You know if this was President Bush that this would've led the Sunday Morning talk circuit and would've been the front page of the Slimes.

If I'm not mistaken, while Blago was on Larry King Live, he did mention that a few of those names above were being called to give testimonies. Blago even hinted that Emanuel's testimony may clear him.

Sometimes even you inadvertently augment our point, ex. To consistently criticize Republican crooks and lowlifes yet say it's "silly" of us to wonder where’s the coverage and outrage over liberal crooks and lowlifes says a lot.

Hello again, Steve:

Sorry. I misunderstood you. I think Blago is a lowlife and a crook. But, I thought you guys were badmouthing the press - not the guv.

You were, weren't you?

Look, Steve, I don't like 'em either. I think they're right wing as hell.

I think Obama should prosecute the war crimes of the previous administration... Frankly, I think THEIR lawbreaking, and the damage it caused, FAR exceeds anything this stupid Governor could to.

Yet, the liberal media wants to let bygones be bygones. Give Bush a pass. I don't think that's LIBERAL at ALL. In fact, I think it's real, REAL conservative. You don't?

How come the media is hated and liberal only SOME of the time????

I say replace the party nomination process with a lottery. Anyone can sign up to be in this lottery, once a winner has been chosen from the ballots then the people get to vote.

How can it be much worse than the politicians we have now who it could be argued run for some sort of personal or special interest group gain.

This is a non-partisan issue, there are crooks and scumbags on both sides of the aisle.

I was badmouthing the press. Doesn’t change my point, it’s silly to think we’re silly for expecting the media to hold Dems as accountable as they’ve held Republicans over the last 8 years. I must have missed where the media is trying to let bygones be bygones with Bush. They are preoccupied with their new king, but I expect the Bush bashing to continue.

Hello again, Steve:

You did:

In the last week alone, The Washington Post's David Ignatius twice said that those who advocate investigations into Bush crimes are nothing more than "liberal score-settlers." Newsweek's Jon Barry angrily accused those who advocate investigations of lying about their belief in the rule of law because (he can divine) that they are instead motivated by "vengeance, pure and simple."

That would the liberal Compost, and the liberal Snoozweek, as tom so eloquently puts it.

These are but two of the libs giving Bush a pass. I can find more. LOTS more.

And this pathetic piece by Leonard Pitts Jr. was in my paper the day before Obama's inauguration last week.

Or perhaps you missed Maureen Dowd's nice little column from last week. Or this, and this, and this, all the gloating over Obama moving fast to "reverse Bush's legacy", and the news today that Congress has subpoenaed Rove?

BDS is alive and well.

Hello again, Steve:

I DID read your pathetic little piece. I didn't say ANYWHERE in the artlcle, that he called for INVESTIGATIONS.

Calling for a reversal of Bush's legacy ISN'T calling for his trial. It IS what the VOTERS called for, however.

I see the old spin machine is alive and well over there.

No, I guess it wasn't harsh enough to hope Bush lives long enough "to hear history itself tell you what an awful president you were."

excon

Hello again, Steve:

Let me say this, in the clearest possible way. I don't want to send ANY message to Bush. I want to send a message to ANY future president who thinks he's above the law.
