Deep, Cleansing Breath

***Gov. Jim Edgar will be on the show at 10:15 this morning to discuss the Blagojevich Scandal.  Listen to the Kelm & Kirk LIVE.

***Thank you, Mayor Davlin, for taking a couple of minutes out of your busy schedule to comment on Crazy Rod.

***Does anyone really believe that Cong. Jackson Jr. didn't try to buy the US Senate seat?  Maybe not directly, but this guy was campaigning for the seat months before The Obama even won on Nov 4.  Quid Pro Quo is the official motto of Chicago, for God's sake!

This from the Trib today:  Two businessmen who attended the meeting and spoke to the Tribune on the condition of anonymity said that Nayak and Blagojevich aide Rajinder Bedi privately told many of the more than two dozen attendees the fundraising effort was aimed at supporting Jackson's bid for the Senate.

Great column from Kass today:  Wow. No staffers tried to make a deal for his Senate seat?

"I've asked my team to gather the facts of any contacts with the governor's office about this vacant seat, so that we can share them with you over the next few days," Obama said.

He could have just asked Emanuel, but he wasn't there, and reporters kept wondering, "Where's Rahm? Where's Rahm?" What they should have been asking is, "Where's Jimmy?"

As in state Sen. James DeLeo (D-How You Doin?)

***The Sun-Times found Rahm who REFUSED to answer questions: 

“You’re wasting your time,” Emanuel said. “I’m not going to say a word to you. I’m going to do this with my children. Dont do that. I’m a father. I have two kids. I’m not going to do it.”

Asked, “Can’t you do both?” Emanuel replied, “I’m not as capable as you. I’m going to be a father. I’m allowed to be a father,” and he pushed the reporter’s digital recorder away.

***FoxChicago is reporting that Rahm & Crazy Rod DID meet.  Oops...
