And I Thought Republicans Were Dumb . . .

Upstanding governor: “I’m going to keep [Obama’s] Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I’m saying? And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself. …[The seat] is a f***ing valuable thing — you just don’t give it away for nothing.” — Illinois Democrat Gov. Rod Blagojevich in secretly taped phone conversations about filling Obama’s Senate seat

Bad idea: “I should say if anybody wants to tape my conversations, go right ahead, feel free to do it. I appreciate anybody who wants to tape me openly and notoriously, and those who feel like they want to sneakily and wear taping devices, I would remind them that it kind of smells like Nixon and Watergate.” — Rod Blagojevich before his arrest

Deny everything: “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.” — Barack Obama, friend and ally of Gov. Blagojevich

Somebody’s lying: “I know he’s talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.” — Obama adviser David Axelrod on 23 November (Axelrod now says he was “mistaken” when he said that)
