After all turning down a Kennedy is Blasphemy

Now we have Russ Feingold trying to end the appointments of senators and give the states the expense of special elections.

You can make the argument that special elections are better than appointments but it isn’t that critical. The states can handle that one. Hell until 1913 ALL senators were appointed (people seem to forget this).

The choices out of Ill and NY were qualified and acceptable, this is an attempt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. If the Democrats are embarrassed by their Governors then maybe they should run less corrupt ones. Remember that the only reason Patterson is there is because the previous Gov resigned.

I think I would have seen more of this

In fairness the subpoenas have more to do with Blagojevich but I would think that there would be a little more press on the Axelrod, Jarrett, Emanuel and Rezko if they were involved with a republican in general or Bush in particular.

Ed Morrissey at hot air notices something that the thinker missed:

this new revelation opens a new question. Why did the internal report from the Obama team not mention Axelrod when they cleared themselves of all complicity in the scandal? It seems like a strange oversight in retrospect. Perhaps the feds thought the same thing.

Remember this is the Chicago way. And this is what happens when you investigate yourself and the press accepts it.

Morning Joe Did I see what I thought I saw?

6:20 p.m. I know I’ve been jumping back and forth between the Comancheros and Morning Joe but did I see them copy Rush Limbaugh teasing of Robert Gibbs “I have to get back to you” montage?

I know that they were using Jimmy Kimble but did they know that Rush did it first?

What will Obama’s people say?

7:03 a.m. Mika’s reading of Maureen Dowd’s column is the talker equivalent of a striptease, it was very funny.

7:05 a.m. It seems to me the way Mika and Dowd talk about Blago it confirms the old bit about women just liking bad boys. Looks like my son’s will have to be priests (well my oldest anyway).

7:20 a.m. Chuck Todd calls us the ADD society.

7:40 a.m. Have you ever seen a network push a program on another network as Morning Joe has pushed the View today?

8:01 a.m. Mika has jumped on the “end appointments” bandwagon.

8:05 a.m. Rendell gives some reality how candidates in special elections the candidates are the choices of the party not an elected official.

8:07 a.m. I always liked Rendell he has never been shy about saying what he thinks. He is talking sense about ARM.

8:35 a.m. Bernstein points out that the same press that is going after wall street lionized them for years. It reminds one that when Bush hatred doesn’t cloud them these guys can be great reporters.

8:55 a.m. I’ve described Mika as a handsome woman but that word is not adequate to describe Mika in those boots. That she can compete in appearance with a woman decades younger is really something. All this and brains too, her husband is just like me, a very lucky man.
