Did I read correctly? Someone wrote that reagan was honest? Honest is the word they chose. Hmm, Iran Contra?, Col. North?, Arms for hostages?, lying to the public?, etc…

Yeah, right. reagan was the honest one. You folks are really too much.

Of course the Tribune was protecting the ONE, remember their sister media scum, the LA Times refused to release the video of BO’s Hamas buddy before the election.
Should we rejoice if the Trib and it’s hack collaboraters in the Media die, you betcha’!

I’m with you on that – pretty disgusting, and not at all surprising, but nonetheless disgusting!

This sure smells like the Tribune was protecting someone. They should be investigated and prosecuted. I know prosecuting a newspaper for breaking laws just isn’t done anymore, but maybe it’s time for some Change!

We know who was going to buy the seat; whoever Obama said should buy his seat. Why else would the Tribune care so much? It’s not like they didn’t go after Chicago Democrats in general. They were protecting the chosen one, who so far was clean. Who knows what may have happened if thigs were allowed to proceede?

We do know that right out of the gate, Axelrod and Obama lied. That was their first reaction. Who lies and why?

And were all supposed to get all weepy for the “news” paper industry.

Pfft.

Might a motivating factor have been that the Tribune did not want to see Democrats disgraced any more than they would have been already? That would be eminently ironic, considering the Trib was a target of Blago’s wrath.

It also makes you wonder. Would the Tribune have been a lot more patient in printing the story were it a Republican about to sell a Senate seat?

Don’t answer, it’s a rhetorical question.
