Shall we parse the words?

David Axelrod via Sweet, shall we parse the words?

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.--Obama top strategist David Axelrod was just asked at a forum at Harvard's Institute of Politics about the last time he chatted with Gov. Blagojevich. He sidestepped a direct answer about communications that may have taken place with the scandalized governor about replacing President elect Barack Obama in the Senate.

"We were not involved in that discussion or any discussion of that nature," Axelrod said.

Perhaps he's misspoken again, how can we be sure, hmm? Clintonista or Chicago Machine, take your pick.

UPDATE: Rats deserting the sinking ship Blago, The Rev. Jesse. says it's not me.

UPDATE: Matt Continetti, TWS, fills in the blankety-blanks--"What the Feds Left Out". A parody.
