The Illinois State Governor’s own newsletter the “Governor’s Gazette” published on November 11, 2008 pictured Barack Obama holding a private conversation with Governor Rod Blagojevich.
The Governor’s Gazette reported:
Governor Blagojevich Congratulates President-Elect Obama and Starts Selection Process For Replacement
After congratulating President-elect Barack Obama on his Nov. 4 victory, Governor Rod Blagojevich now begins the difficult task of finding a replacement for Illinois Senate Seat.
Here’s a screengrab of the newsletter:
But, as luck would have it, that page is now mysteriously missing!
24Ahead.com reported, via LGF Quick Links:
Now, the state of Illinois has deleted from their website the PDF that contained the Obama-Blagojevich picture. It was in the state publication “Governors Gazette” and originally at illinois.gov/govgazette/pdfs/Gazetteedition_2008Nov.pdf That page now returns a 404 not found, as does Version 2 of that Gazette (originally located at illinois.gov/govgazette/pdfs/Gazetteedition_2008Nov_2.pdf) and the /gazette directory.
Well, that’s odd. The newsletter showing Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich holding a private conversation has disappeared:
Funny how that works.
