Pass the Hopium, America; Obama won’t testify in Blago case after all

John Kass reports:

Smarty Pants Lawyer: Isn't it true, Mr. President, that in 2002, as an Illinois state senator, you told journalist Jeff Berkowitz, on tape, the following: "Right now, my main focus is to make sure we elect Rod Blagojevich as governor."

Obama: Well, look. That's not the Rod I knew.

Smarty Pants Lawyer: Isn't it true, Mr. President, that in 2006, you wrote a letter to the voters of Cook County, vigorously endorsing the hapless Urkel of political Chicago, Todd Stroger, for County Board president?

Obama: Well, uh, look. At this point in time, to the best of my knowledge, I can't recall.

Smarty Pants Lawyer: Did you not write, and I quote, "Todd is a good, progressive Democrat who will bring values and sensibility to the job"? Did you not write these words, sir?

Obama: That's not the Todd I knew.

Smarty Pants Lawyer: And isn't it true that in April of 2010, you publicly hugged Alexi Giannoulias and called him, and I quote, Illinois' "soon-to-be senator"? Doesn't that make you a real Chicago politician?

You'll want to read the whole article. Another great one from the politically incorrect John Kass.
