It had to happen sooner or later, a scandal so large that even the Obama-media couldn't ignore it. The man at the centre of the hurricane is Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, but Obama's problem are the questions about how close he was to the Governor. His first reaction was that there was no contact between the Governor and Obama or any of his people with regard to the Senate replacement, but now it seems that was a nuance lie and that Obama Chief of Staff pick Rahm Emmanuel was up to his neck in the process.
Joe Scarborough takes some media figures to task in the clip below about why the public knows every small detail about Sarah Palin and yet nothing at all about Obama's connections to Blagojevich. Apparently the answer is instinct (near the end of the clip). I know something stinks, but it ain't instinct.

Who knew that we'd get the first scandal before the messiah even got to Inauguration? Perhaps there is more to come yet, Rezko may have more to add. Reason calls the 48 hour delay in getting a reaction from Obama his 'My Pet Goat' moment. Heh.
