Crikey, the bloke has not even been sworn in yet and already he's walking through crap:
PRESIDENT-elect Barack Obama's choice for White House chief of staff spoke to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's office about who the governor should appoint to replace Obama in the US Senate, the Chicago Tribune reported on today.
The talks did not suggest that Rahm Emanuel, currently a Chicago congressman, was involved in an alleged deal-making scheme for the Senate seat that has resulted in federal charges against Mr Blagojevich, a 52-year-old Democrat.
The two-term governor and his former chief of staff John Harris are charged with attempting to peddle the Senate position for campaign cash or a lucrative job for the governor, as well as paid corporate board appointments for his wife.
