Bye Bye Blago, Bye Bye

Our long national Laugh-In skit is over. Rod Blagojevich was impeached today by the Illinois State Senate and his Lt. Governor was named Governor to replace him. I’m actually sad that the Blago Sago is coming to an end. I think it’s good for voters to have a living, breathing example of everything that’s wrong [...]

Senator Oprah? Don’t laugh, it could have happened. The Democrats have themselves a genuine Phantom of the Opera situation right now. Governor Blagojevich has been lurking around in the sewer of Democratic politics for years only to burst forth intent on making his presence known once again to the diva who lives in the White [...]

This is Harry Reid trying desperately not to look weak and clueless: WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Sunday that “legal authority” exists under the Constitution to bar embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s pick to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, but added there is also room to negotiate. Under [...]

I Admit It. The GOP Has Flummoxed Me

I really don’t get the Republican Party. Party folks have spent well over a week rending their clothes and covering themselves in ashes over RNC chair candidate Chip Saltsman. Saltsman, I’m sure you’ve heard, sent out a CD with a bunch of songs on it. One of them was a parody song made popular on [...]

They Elected Him. I Think They’re Stuck With Him.

Rod Blagojevich, possesser of monstrously-large stones, is going to appoint someone to fill President-Elect Obama’s vacant Senate seat no matter what anyone tells him. He’s named former Attorney General Roland Burris to the spot. Burris is, of course, tied pretty closely to Blagojevich as a campaign donor and a lobbyist. Then again, most everyone in [...]

No One Does Fiery Declarations of Innocence Like a Democratic Politician

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m filled with Christmas joy, thanks to Governor Rod Blagojevich. His press conference today was combative, magnificently ridiculous, and full of such theater as can only come from the cesspool that is Chicago politics. It’s not every day that you go to a press conference given by a [...]

Every Call Was Completely Innocent and Above-Board, Right?

Would you look at that plot thickening? Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds — dealing with his boss’ vacant Senate seat! A lot of chit-chat? Hot air? Or trouble? Meanwhile, Rahm Emmanuel seems to have disappeared even though his boss [...]

“Trust Me”, Says Obama. “Okey Dokey”, Says the MSM.

Well, I guess that’s that then, huh? WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Barack Obama had no contact with scandal-hit Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his advisers did not have “inappropriate” discussions with the governor’s staff about filling Obama’s vacant Senate seat, Obama’s office said on Monday. An Obama spokesman said in a statement that the president-elect’s [...]
