I can just see the Biased Browns of the world stomping their feet, turning on their heels, crossing their arms with a "hmmph!" and whining that it's not fair that all those weeks of eyebrow-raising suspicion have rendered them so journalistically impotent that even a mega-dose of Viagra would be ineffective.George Stephanopolous explains why the Obama camp doesn't seem worried about Rahm Emanuel's dealings with the Blagojevich administration: According to the internal report, he only spoke to Blago once, didn't engage in any negotiations to get Jarrett the Senate seat, and was equally interested in the (fascinating, more standard) wheeling and dealing around his House seat:
The sources add that the report will show Emanuel also had four phone calls with Blagojevich Chief of Staff John Harris. During those conversations, the Senate seat was discussed. The pros and cons of various candidates were reviewed, and the sources say that Emanuel repeatedly reminded Harris that Blagojevich should focus on the message the pick would send about the governor and his administration.
Sources also confirm that Emanuel made the case for picking Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett during at least one of the conversations. In the course of that conversation, Harris asked if in return for picking Jarrett, 'all we get is appreciation, right?' 'Right,' Emanuel responded.
