There is something bloggers love about the word Blagojevich.. I think, we like saying blago, because of the assonance associated with us: bloggers… The ending also rhymes with bitch… another deeply loved word within the blogosphere… We just can’t get enough of saying that name because we, to ourselves, are thinking we are getting away with saying “Blogger Bitch..” How often have we all wanted to say that?

It helps to have a story to back it up… Here is who ran it down and what their take upon it was..

Delaware Curmudgeon chooses to cover this news event as a second piece to Obama’s wife’s raise after he became State Senator of Illinois. She notes that Obama’s staff did talk to Blogger Bitch, even though originally the story was that he did not…

Cato of Delmarva Dealings appears to have broken the story at 9:38 am yesterday morning. Delaware Liberal played around with a quote of the day (9:55 am) and a treatise naming Delaware’s readers versus Delaware’s Blabbers (10:08 am), before entering the “Blogger Bitchfest” with X-Striker’s Post simply titled Illinois Governor Blagojevitch Arrested (10:09 am). The next Delaware entry is Deldem’s post (12:03 pm) titled Wow, Blago was Truly Corrupt, which marks the first time the term “Blago” (pronounced blogger in Boston) hits Delaware cyberspace. It won’t be the last time.

Delaware TalkBlog posts about Healthy Delawareans Today and Tomorrow (12:18pm) ignoring the controversy until it begins to involve Obama.. Hoping to get a jump on Tomorrow’s headline (their quote) Maria Evans goes live with Obama: “This Is Not the Rod Blagojevich That I Know” at 2:07pm.

Deldem breaks the Rahm Emanuel connection at 2:52 pm, with the announcement by the head of the Illinois State Judiciary Committee, that impeachment proceedings would begin immediately. Like a hound on a new scent, Deldem gleefully announces the progressive tendencies of Illinois Lt. Governor. (3:15 pm).

At 3:27 pm Tommywonk in “I Want To Make Money comes forth with the seventy two page document(PDF) filed in court, as well as an expletive usually associated with “Da Bears“.

Shirley’s piece mentioned above…. hit at 6:09 pm.

The Colossus of Rhodey picks up where Maria left off and pillories the Obama team for doubling speaking in their denial of knowing Blogger Bitch. In “Name That Party” he links to an assortment of jabs made at Democrats expense. (6:33 pm)

Deldem, who just can’t get enough pleasure saying “Blogger Bitch”, again joins with another post where he names today’s event in his “Epic Fail” file…(7:29 pm).

At 8:20 one Nemski pokes fun at former Rhode Island, and now Delaware’s own John Feroce, who questions the timing on why this took place right now… with his statement that “something is not right…”, apparently in anticipation of another Vince Foster repeat……

At 9:58 pm nemski expands on a comment made by Dave Burris: The only thing that bothers me about this is Obama’s statement that he hadn’t talked to Blago. There’s no freakin’ way he gives up his Senate seat and doesn’t weigh in. I’m not accusing him of wrongdoing, but that statement just doesn’t sit with me.

That was the extent of where Blago came in on Delaware’s “blago”sphere today. As of now, we are all blogger bitched out, at least until we’ve had a good nights sleep….ZZZZZ. But in that sleep, what dreams may come….. especially to these guys…. Only in Delaware could a scandalous political event be finished by a nightcap of conversations..concerning Scrapple.… …..
