Obama's lawyer: No scandal here!

Why didn't Nixon think of this?

President-elect Barack Obama said Monday a review by his own lawyer shows he had no direct contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the appointment of a Senate replacement, and transition aides "did nothing inappropriate."
Obama said he is prepared to make the review public, but decided to hold off because prosecutors asked for a delay and "I don't want to interfere with an ongoing investigation."

In unrelated news, attorneys for Britney Spears released a report concluding that she is not a crazy skank.
