Jake Tapper of ABC noted that Obama campaign guru David Axelrod said Nov. 23 that President-elect Barack Obama and Illinois Gov. (for today) Rod Blagojevich had talked directly about filling Obama’s Senate seat, and had talked AFTER Nov. 4.
Now, Ax says he misspoke, but that’s not enough for Ben Smith.
Maybe Axelrod did misspeak. Or maybe he’s having to cover Obama’s ass.
Given that Axelrod didn’t originally retract his own statement, but an anonymous, no loess, someone else from Obamaland did it for him, I’m inclined to the latter.
Besides, I’m with Ben. Have the two directly talked about anything since Nov. 4??
Or, to make sure the net is spread broadly enough, have the two spoken through intermediaries about anything since Nov. 4?
Remember, he’s Just.Another.Politician.™
