Blago's new job........
(2009-01-09) — Resolving a standoff between Senate Democrats and the embattled Democrat governor of Illinois today President-elect Barack Obama named Gov. Rod Blagojevich as special envoy to the middle east responsible for guiding peace negotiations between Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah.
“Rod has demonstrated extraordinary skill and persistence,” said Mr. Obama. “A month after getting arrested by the FBI, this guy is still in office. That’s the kind of character it’s going to take to gain credibility with Hamas and Hezbollah.”
Mr. Obama said he would dispatch Mr. Blagojevich immediately to the troubled region.
“I have already spoken directly with Hamas leadership,” said Mr. Obama. “They have agreed to provide housing and office space for Ambassador Blagojevich and his charming wife adjacent to a weapons depot to ensure their safety.”

Gaza: Israel prepares 'iron fist' strike at Hamas. They must make sure they get the job done right. Hamas cannot be allowed to recover.
Hillary Clinton to face questions on Gaza policy at Senate hearing. As if she has an effing clue.
