Time’s Person of the Year Is…Predictable.
But of course he is. The quote seen in the Politico is priceless.

Every Call Was Completely Innocent and Above-Board, Right?
Would you look at that plot thickening? Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds — dealing with his boss’ vacant Senate seat!
