Rahm Meets The Press, Talks Blago

As Barack Obama's inauguration approaches, incoming chief of staff and former Fifth U.S. Congressional District rep Rahm Emanuel appeared on NBC's Meet The Press Sunday and talked the inauguration, the economy, and even Burris & Blago. To no one's surprise, Rahm maintained his insistence that he did nothing inappropriate: "As described in the document we made public, we talked in general about the, the right type of people that could be served as U.S. senator. And those are the conversations you would have with the chief of staff, and they're all the appropriate conversations." Check out video of the entire video below or, if you're the reading type, read the transcripts.

I am not an over zealous Obama disciple and not Emanuel's fan club, but I seriously doubt there's any dirt here.

After reaching a pinnacle in history, why would he revert to Chicago dirty politics? Yes, there are some stupid politicians around, but not this bunch on something so minor as this. They obviously were not Blago friends to begin with so why would they start after the election?
