Jan. 27: Embattled Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich explains to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that in spite of his political stunts and media tour he's not confident of the outcome of his trial in the Illinois Senate - though unlike Richard Nixon, he wants all of his tapes to be made public.


CHICAGO - With Gov. Rod Blagojevich entering what could be his final hours in office, some politicians are watching closely to see whether he attempts some last-minute mischief by spending state money, issuing executive orders or granting pardons.

"I try never to be surprised anymore by anything he does," said Republican former Gov. Jim Edgar.

• Bill O’Reilly on “Judas” Scott McClellan

For Bill O’Reilly, the “radical left” is taking advantage of “Judas” Scott McClellan. And what is the far left, according to O’Reilly? MSNBC, the corporate media empire jointly owned by Microsoft and NBC, the latter owned by General Electric, the death merchant that donated $1.1 million to Bush for his 2000 election campaign, that is to say the neocon coup. http://www.infowars.com/?p=2429

Bill W. already posted about Conyers’ statement that he is committed to getting Rove to testify in the Don Siegelman case, even if it means having him arrested. However, this segment from MSNBC’s Verdict, where Catherine Crier explains to host Dan Abrams the process and the seriousness of an Inherent Contempt of Congress charge is was too good not to use, so I asked Heather to make the video for me. Besides, it’s small and petty of me, but I don’t think you can hear “haul Karl Rove to jail” too many times.

Cindy McCain on husband’s ‘non-negative campaign’
Cindy McCain told Ann Curry that an Obama-McCain presidential race would not be negative. However, Sen. John McCain has already run a smear ad in North Carolina against Obama and his campaign has also implied that the Hamas favors Obama for president.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama said Thursday that the most important thing he could achieve as president would be to deal with Iraq and the threat of al Qaeda in Afghanistan while improving "our influence around the world."

"The world wants to see the United States lead. They've been disappointed and disillusioned over the last seven, eight years," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview on "The Situation Room."

"I think there is still a sense everywhere I go that if the United States regains its sense of who it is and our values and our ideals, that we will continue to set the tone for a more peaceful and prosperous world." Watch the full interview with Obama »
