That's the angle being taken by our worthless Mainstream Media.
Ed Rendell:
"They have never been in an executive position before," Rendell said on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe." "The rule of thumb is whatever you did, say it and get it over with and make it a one-day story as opposed to a three-day story. Politicians are always misjudging the intelligence of the American people."
The man who just cracked on Janet Napolitano for having no life is giving Barack Obama advice on handling the press?
Are you kidding me??
And they were worried about Biden??
Eugene Robinson:
The scandal involves Obama in only the most tangential way, as far as anyone knows, and actually seems to cast him in a favorable light. But the longer he leaves obvious questions unanswered, the longer the president-elect will have to talk about the seamier side of Illinois politics rather than initiatives such as saving the U.S. auto industry or revamping health care.
Maybe, I'm the one who misjudged Ed and Eugene. I like these guys, but they're dead-ass wrong.
What exactly is your responsibility for a story when you're as much a victim in these circumstances than anything else??
You actually had Reporters questioning Obama over the fact that he didn't repeat his call for Blagojevich's resignation.
You actually have reporters parsing when Obama used "I" versus "we" in his Press Conference yesterday.
I'm starting to get the feeling this is as much a result of Press Corps addicted to News Cycle Journalism with nothing to cover, finally getting their teeth into something, and if necessary making @#$% up to feed the beast.
Apparently covering the Financial Apocalypse is just too damn boring...
If Obama doesn't walk up to the State House, and put Blagojevich in cuffs himself, somehow it's his fault.
I expect this B.S. from Fox News...not Democrats and otherwise smart columnists...
