Rahm Emmanuel declined an opportunity to deny that he is the Obama adviser Blagojevich referenced on tape:
“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. Don’t 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.
Before anyone jumps on me, yes, I’m well aware that no Obama staffers have been charged. Yet. Say what you will, I’m starting to think that every person on Obama’s team with Illinois connections or interests is a shoe on the shelf that might or might not drop. The question for everyone, including our current next president, is what did they know and when did they know it?
