Who has the money for sturdy shovels and holes these days?
Gotta brag a little here. I refer you to post #40, where I suggested Blago appoint Oprah to the Senate. Today, on the View, he confirmed he was considered her.
I noticed that - fucking prescient, Boyo!
How do you know so much about Blagojevich’s thinking, hmmm?
I thought I heard on the news that Blago is resigning, but, on closer investigation, no such luck. His lawyer is resigning.
I love this guy. As Dio said, the entertainment value is immense. The crazy hair, the boyish looks, the shiny steel balls swinging in the face of the people hunting him… It’s great.
By the way, have they actually got, you know, a case against him? From what I’m hearing, all the evidence to date amounts to a lot of talk about what he’d do, but he never actually did any of it. No money changed hands. I’m not sure Blago’s going down, unless Fitzgerald has more dirt on him than we’ve heard so far.
As to whether the Feds have a case against him, I’m not in a position to say. The folks doing the impeaching? They’re the only ones who have a say in what constitutes a case. If enough of the senators voting on him want him gone, he’s gone.
If they don’t have any solicitation of a quid pro quo from anybody, I’m not convinced they can convict him of anything. I’m starting to wonder if the quotes on tape were all just a lot of bluster and bullshit from Blago trying to impress people around him and make himself look like some kind of big operator. I wonder if it’s enough to be guilty of conspiracy if you mouth off about what you’re going to get from this or that deal if you never actually attempt to make the deal.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/23/blagojevich-attorney-quits-suggests-client-listening-problems/ His lawyer quit because he can not deal with a loony. He prefers clients that at least listen to him.
I have to say, I haven’t enjoyed a public figure this much since Baghdad Bob
I channel his hair.
That must be painful.
And here I was thinking that you two had something in common - the best of the worst, in each of your respective specialties.

No one ever said he nailed his hands to the cross.
By the way, the government of the Philippines recommends that, before being crucified, you should have a tetanus shot and make sure the nails are clean.
This has been a public service announcement.
Not at all. He has hair soft as a summer breeze, dark as dark, er… gets. His thoughts buzz outward through each gubernatorial follicle, depositing a fine Blagojemist on my fevered brow. It smells like… Victory!
Nailgun and expert footjob skills ?
Dude, he’s the governor of Illinois. He’s a big operator ex officio.
This line is still giving me the giggles.
Hindsight being 20/20…
Any opinions?
Nice.
Obviously, he needs to create a new protected class.
“I’m being persecuted because I’m a Black American”. Done.
“I’m being persecuted because I’m a Substance-Abuse American”. Done.
“I’m being persecuted because I’m a Gay American”. Done.
“I’m being persecuted because I’m a Sexual Addict American”. Done.
“I’m being persecuted because I’m a Delusional, Egocentric-American”. Blago finds gold?
I caught about five minutes of him on Larry King last night before the rising bile choked off my airway and I had to change it or die. What a complete and utter douchebag. Apparently, his 7% approval rating (which he doesn’t believe in, by the way) is because “no politician has a good approval rating right now because the economy is so bad”. When asked who was paying for his defense, he stammered and stuttered and eventually admitted that it was coming out of his campaign funds, but “we all hope the lawyers’ fees will be reasonable”.
