December 12, HotAir:
The attempt by President-elect Barack Obama to distance himself from the scandal erupting in Illinois took a big hit last night with this exclusive report from Chicago’s Fox affiliate. Sources within the investigation say that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on “multiple occasions” about the Senate succession that Blagojevich had wanted to sell to the highest bidder — and that Emanuel will likely be on the FBI wiretaps.
December 13, HotAir:
The categorical denials coming from Barack Obama on the Rod Blagojevich pay-to-play scandal took another hit today from the Chicago Tribune. Two sources confirm that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s new chief of staff, had a number of conversations with Blagojevich chief of staff John Harris to discuss acceptable candidates to fill the rest of Obama’s Senate term. These conversations got captured by federal wiretaps and will likely be reviewed by a grand jury looking to indict people on corruption charges.

Here we go! This is just the begining! This is what happens when you elect someone to the presidency when they haven’t done anything before but vote “present” and have no record!
God help us!

“Throooow ‘em Under the Bus”
By Marinelurp
When the going gets tough,
When mud ‘n slander flies thick.
And the sh*t is hitting the fan,
Someone’s really rockin’ the boat,
Trying to hijack Hope and Change.
Wha’ cha gonna do? Wha’ cha gonna say?
You Beeeetter(slowly):
(Chorus)
Throw ‘em, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em by the neck,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
Political hacks are turning up the heat.
‘Singing to prosecutors’, naming names,
Under surveillance, wiretaps everywhere!
“Not the person I knew” you have to claim.
Scandals threatening to taint you,
Before you even swear in. Oh, wha’ cha gonna do?
(Chorus)
Beeetter:
Throw ‘em, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em by the neck,and throw ‘em,
Throw ‘em, under the Bus!
When things got too close on poor Barry,
He put the blame on ole Grannie.
“Just a Typical-White Person”,
Who walked in fear, spouting racial slurs .
Could not disown her, That wouldn’t be Wright.
But the One thing he could do, WAS:
(Chorus)
Throw ‘em, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em by the neck,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
When his spiritual mentor got too loud,
Acting like an ‘embarrassing uncle’.
For awhile the ONE made excuses.
But the videos on YouTube were too much.
First the pastor, then the church,
Were too inconvenient and controversial.
They Haaaaad to:
(Chorus)
Throw ‘em all, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em all by the neck,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
Liberals and youth, they all adored Him,
The ONE was all that they had dreamed of.
He told them “Change that you can believe in”,
Promised to spread the wealth around.
Then, after He won the election,
All the promises were changed, THEN, they heard:
(Chorus)
Throw ‘em all, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em by the neck,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
Chicago’s Governor was hurting real bad,
He just wanted to get some financial gain.
To “sell a seat” for the One’s prime Choice,
“It’s a F*ckin’ Golden” job after all.
He ain’t doing it for just appreciation!
We wait impatiently for the audio and transcripts.
Before theeeeey:
(Chorus)
Throw ‘em, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em ALL by the necks,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
The Heat is coming down on the Governor,
His wife can’t even consider divorce.
All their plans are going up in smoke.
Wiretaps are bringing them down.
What happened to good ole corruption, “Pay to Play”.
Oh!, Wha’ cha gonna do? Wha’ cha gonna say?
(Chorus)
Juuuust, Throw ‘em, under the Bus,
Toss ‘em, under the Bus,
Cover your Ass! Try to distance yourself!
Just grab ‘em by the neck,
and throw ‘em, throw ‘em
Under the Bus!
The list of victims keeps getting longer,
Rev. Wright, Ayers, Trinity United Church,
Rezko, Jessie Jackson, Jr. , Gov. Rod Blagojevich,
Now, Rahm Emanuel could be next,
Hillary is on the future “hit” list,
Don’t become a burden or a drag on The ONE.
Oooor, YOU’ll be,
Thrown Under the Bus,
Tossed Under the Bus,
Cover your tracks, Try to distance yourself!
Prepare some “insurance”,
Make recordings, get it all on DVD!
Don’t get thrown Under the Bus!
