“You could make this stuff up..”

A short sharp post from the Telegraph’s Iain Martin on the “new era of honesty and reform in Illinois politics”. He wonders if Tom Wolfe’s been scripting it.. And Politico has some questions for the President-elect. But back to Iain Martin

And what of Obama? He usually displays unerring calm but for the first time it is possible to imagine him sitting in his office with his head in his hands.
This takes the shine off the transition and potentially the inauguration. What did he know and when?
Bravo, a proper old-fashioned scandal and he’s not even President yet.
