The “Blagosphere”

Blagosphere. Formerly, “the virtual space across the internet populated by the ceaselessly chattering masses.” Addendum: b. blagosphere: the scandalous cesspool bearing the name of Rod Blagojevich, governor of Illinois. A fitting rip for Chicagoland politics that casts a long shadow to Washington, D. C. Calling this a mere distraction, as the MSM is wont to do, would be like calling 9/11 a distraction to the peace process between Islamic terrorists and the West. BHO’s Axlerod’s text message to David Copperfield. “You know that 747 Jumbo Jet you made disappear? Yeah, well, we need an en core.” Extracting the occupant of the auspicious Office of the President-elect from the belly of Mayor Daley’s beast without so much as the smell of smoke on his $1500 Hartmax suit will take one more assemblage of smoke and mirrors.

Obama needs a miraculous extrication from this bask of crocodiles. Take a deep breath: Antoin “Tony” Rezko, Emil Jones, George Ryan, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Rashid Khalidi, Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, Franklin Raines, Larry Walsh, Al Mansour, Rabbi Capers Funnye, Raila Odinga, Muhammad Hasa Chandoo, Wahid Hamid, Nadhmi Auchi, Valerie Jarret, Robert Malley and Saul Alinsky all noted for their association with Barack Obama, and all tainted with either corruption, scandal, extreme political views or questionable character. One step beyond the inner circle includes engaging personas like Louis Farrakhan, George Soros and Steve Malinga. That takes care of the individual weirdos and operators. Now add to it the neighborhood gone national organization of ACORN, slimed for voter registration fraud during the recent presidential campaign, and the Developing Communities Project, the organization for which Obama learned the ropes of community organizing. BHO may need Houdini over Copperfield.

The Blagosphere is wide, deep and treacherous. Nervous Obama devotees need to pray that each tenuous foothold, each shifting of balance, each easing along the cliff face with rocks plummeting into the abyss below will be prove certain and solid. One slip means that the media ropes need to hold. At least until January 20.
