Candidate #4 - Dep. Gov Greenlee, has resigned. However, Media has no idea why!

[FrenchieCat]

But we do.

What is up with our media?

Why the lack of focus on Candidate #4?

1. Contessa said that so quickly that I missed what she had said

She moved on so quickly.

[FrenchieCat]

3. She appeared clueless,

and didn't intimate that Greenlee was candidate #4, although he appears to clearly be.

[ErinBerin84]

6. She sounded like she had never heard of him.

[SuperTrouper]

8. Contessa IS clueless, period

[Orsino]

7. Well, it's responsible of the MSM not to speculate...

...but that's never stopped them before.

[babylonsister]

2. He did? Newz to me. And the media is lazy. Plus, they want to continue

with the tawdry aspects and inuendos. That's what they do.

[FrenchieCat]

5. That was "Breaking News" on MSNBC just a few minutes ago.

Contessa Brewer made the announcement, but didn't give any detail beyond saying she didn't know why he resigned.

Hey Contessa, should I give you a call?

I know why, and I'm not even trying really hard or getting paid to. :eyes:

4. They know exactly why the FUCK he resigned

He is on tape just as much as Blago. Why wasn't HE arrested, too?????????? THAT'S the question. No, don't look over there.

Look at JESSIE JACKSON JR!!!

[FrenchieCat]

9. I'm starting to get those vibes.

First, the fact that candidate #5 got so much attention for being mentioned, while Candidate #4 got nary a mention although he obviously is on tape saying things.

[tekisui]

10. #4 was on tape?

But, #5(JJJ) wasn't, right? Yet, they are focusing on JJJ? What gives?

11. What the hell is a deputy governor?

I am guessing that's different from a lietenant governor...is this an elected position, or a member of the governor's staff?

[WeDidIt]

12. Deputy governors are appointed for specific purposes

Tehre are lots of deputy governors in Illinois.

[redstate_democrat]

14. There were two before Dec 1. Dean Martinez was appointed on Dec 1

and then there were 3. Now there's only 2 since Greenlee resigned today.

[Rosie1223]

13. I didn't know we had "Deputy Governors" until yesterday

They are appointed by the Governor -- kind of like cabinet members. Or just 'Yes Men'.

[ErinBerin84]

15. Pete Williams was just saying

that he suspects Greenlee might be Dep Gov A, did not mention candidate four. Jesse Jackson's lawyer is also having a press conference soon. But Dep A is candidate four in the document, right? Then went back to talking about five, but was careful again to point out that there is no allegation by feds that 5 did anything wrong.
