b, 21did you write this post prior to 2007? not only has deregulation sent us into the longest recession in our country's history, but our gop prez and treasury secretary are now giving out a trillion dollars to private enterprises.

When you're not huffing partnercock, you're putting in some scintillating time doing research or writing a memo that will CHANGE THE WORLD! I hope your bonus is tiny this year and you get laid off in 2009.
b, 21blagojevich is an asshole and this arrest came as no surprise
b, 21
b, 21whats esp funny is that i bet a dem gov & senator replace him and obama in this state, simply because the republican brand name is such poison from similar scandals -- our last governor, gov ryan, was brought down by the hired truck scandal -- licenses for bribes, where some trucker w/ a license he bought from the state fell asleep at the wheel and killed an entire family -- led directly to an investigation that went all the way up the chain and ended up throwing ryan in jail

b, 21as far as current pols go im a big fan of alexi giannoulias, he plays bball with obama and looks like the dude running my fantasy bball league. keep an eye on him
Like I was saying above, I'm just wary of a drawn out scandal that, even if ultimately disproved, hangs over everything and just creates the impression of impropriety for people who aren't reading to closely or already have negative impressions. b, 21b, 21Didn't Jackson Jr have an official role in the Obama campaign?

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21I lean hard toward Democratic but I was looking for any opportunity not to vote Blago for gov in 2006. But who did the Republicans nominate? Chain-smoking Judy Barr Topinka. The Republican party here in Illinois is beyond shambles. They have nobody. b, 21b, 21I remember watching the DNC on the day the delegate votes were tallied for Obama. As Hillary was exiting the floor, I kept my eye on Blago, who was sort of tagging along, trying to shake Hillary's hand. Everyone was ignoring him. It was embarrassing then, to say nothing of everything that has happened since.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21There is a story in today's Chicago Tribune about Blago eying Rahm's seat as another cash-in. It's like 20 giant political scandals rolled into one.b, 21b, 21Dang -- just tried to find the article on the Trib's web site but couldn't. Shit is that messy. Insane.
What bothers me is that Obama and Axelrod and Obama have both CLEARLY lied about their post-election meeting w/ Blagojevich. Axelrod admitted this on Fox in late November, without provocation. Obviously, there was some sort of meeting, as Valerie Jarrett's name wouldn't have been brought up as "Obama's choice" in the Blago tapes. Likewise on the 11/10 tapes, when Blago essentially gives "motherfui1[/i]cker" Obama the alibi of his lifetime. As other blogs have pointed out, Blago is Obama's best character witness in this matter - but ONLY if Obama admits to some (otherwise perfectly legal) meetings regarding the vacated senate seat. Why didn't Obama merely say: "we talked generally about the seat, but for god's sake, no offers were made." That's probably the truth. Why not admit it?b, 21b, 21Their cover-up begs the question, and the Righties are right to question this shit. Obama knew something at some time before this shit broke. I'm guessing 11/9 or 11/10, before the Blago MF explosion. The facts bear out that Obama and his closest people are clean, but they're still lying about this. And it's not like Fitzgerald, the only good guy in this shitstorm, won't be able to get Blago or his losers to spill facts in a month or so.b, 21b, 21img src="http://www.anorak.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/blagojevich-finger.jpg"1
