Frank Rich: GOP attempts to link Obama to Blagojevich 'won't work'

Although Republicans have been doing their best to implicate President-elect Barack Obama in the scandal involving Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's attempt to sell Obama's former Senate seat to the highest bidder, New York Times columnist Frank Rich believes Obama has nothing to worry about.

In an appearance Wednesday on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show, Rich began by suggesting that the extravagantly obscene transcripts of Blagojevich's conversations are "going to be the gift that keeps on giving, I think, for quite a while ... but the attempts to link Obama to it are almost as laughable as the transcripts themselves."
