Blago spoke to reporters briefly in this video. He is continuing his jogging to, in part, "keep love in his heart."
After that, Axelrod comes across as simply rude on a phone call via Morning Joe. "You don't have to identify it as a question from you. I know that ..." etc.
Geesh! These people still think they're in Chicago. Why the rudeness?


Rudeness - just the way they are: coarse, crude and wholly self-absorbed. Not just Chicago, although perhaps elevated to an artform there, but wherever entitled children of '60's hippies have taken their ideologies. They've formed cancerous clumps of anti-statesmanship which operate solely for self-aggrandizement. They do not believe in anything outside of themselves. They're brats. Mostly now with money. And, unfortunately, in power legislatively.
For the US over the next 4 years take a look at Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Chicago. That's your role model.

"-- Rudeness - just the way they are --"
*snicker*
I won't bother with the long list of vulgarities committed by Republicans over the last four years except to perhaps mention Dick Cheney telling Dick Durbin to fuck off, or perhaps remind you of John McCain's promise to "beat the bitch" back when Hillary was a Presidential front runner.
That said, can you be a little more thin-skinned? Maybe Axelrod isn't playing softball the way you girls are used to, but try not to cry about it too hard. Rudeness? Really? That's your big complaint?
"-- Oh, but they can't do THAT! It would problaby get them killed. So leave it to a Hopey-Changey President-elect to go to the Islamic world and sing Kumbaya, my allah, Kumbaya! Or maybe Weird Al's Ayatollah would suffice? --"

"-- Okay, to summarize - from the time he was a child until he was a young man, I guess, Barack Obama drank whiskey, wrote dirty limericks, read poetry and, um, was counseled by a sexual deviant, child molester, rapist of children? That about cover it? And in his book he said it had a lasting effect on him? Damn. That could actually be very sad.
That may be worse than his having been counseled by Jeremiah Wright.
No wonder he says “Pakit-stan” in that funny way of his! heh! --"

Kettle? Is that you? Damn, you're looking blacker than usual.
Stay Classy.

* Forrest Carr, KRQE/KASA News Director
(KRQE) - To our news viewers:
The office of Governor Bill Richardson is taking strong exception to a story that aired Tuesday night on News 13 at 10. In that report, News 13's Dave Bohman told you that, after a press conference about jobs coming to Belen, the Governor left abruptly and ignored our attempt to question him about a grand jury investigation that's now underway. ( See the report and video of Richardson leaving the press conference ). On Wednesday, his deputy chief of staff, Gibert Gallegos, sent us an e-mail complaining about that report and about our conduct at the press conference. The full text of the resulting e-mail exchange is below. It's very self-explanatory.

And in upstate New York -
"The black SUV pulled up to Syracuse city hall Wednesday morning. It was stop one on Kennedy's upstate tour.
But after meeting with Mayor Matt Driscoll, she ran into a buzz saw -- angry reporters who wanted her to do more talking and less listening.
"But you've never held public office so what experience [do you have]?" one reporter asked.
Actually, she did speak briefly in Syracuse.
"I wanted to come upstate and meet with Mayor Driscoll and others to tell them about my experience and also learn more about how Washington can help these communities," Kennedy said.
Her quick remarks fell flat. Reporters seemed to feel brushed off and they pursued her out.
"You're not going to answer questions at all?" one asked.
"Where you headed next?" another demanded.
To the car. "
