As reported on Little Green Footballs yesterday, evidence is mounting that President-Elect Obama lied when he in declared that he had not discussed his replacement with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Yesterday, the reference was to a TV station (KHQA) that had pulled two articles concerning these meeting(s) after Obama's denials.
Today, the issue is a Chicago Tribune article dated October 30 that references a meeting between Obama... and Gov. Rod Blagojevich.... concerning the very thing that Obama has denied: a meeting with Blagojevich concerning Obama's successor.

RED ALERT: Chicago Tribune article referenced Obama-Blago discussions on Senate Seat!
David Axelrod, KHQA and now the venerable Chicago Tribune all independently reported that Governor Blagojevich and Barack Obama held discussions regarding his Senate replacement. For those keeping score at home, this makes four different sources (KHQA had two articles on the topic) referencing one or more meetings, which Barack Obama said never took place. Who would you believe: me or your lying eyes?
Commenter Howdy pointed us to a Tribune article that references additional discussions between Obama and Governor Blagojevich regarding his Senate seat.
More:
In tennis, there's a statistic for a screw up by one of the players. It's called an "unforced error."
That is what I believe this to be.
The idea that Obama hasn't discussed his replacement is absurd on its face. Why would he lie about something so completely obvious?
I GET that politicians lie. But good God, did he really think he would get a way with this?
And now what? President-Elect Obama lied about taking public campaign financing... and now he's lied about discussing this issue with Governor Blagojevich.
What else is he lying about?
You KNOW there is more to come.
