1 Yes, you are to believe that JJJR had nothing to do with this. And Rod B was the only person on the call. There were no other parties to Blag's corrupt attempt to sell the Senate seat. Just Blag. No bidders.

2 I'm gonna have to get my popcorn from Sam's Club.  This is getting good.

3 The ABC blog says that Rahm is claiming he's getting death threats. My friend just sent me the link.

Paging PEBO, Paging Magic PEBO, it's and emergency call on line #1 from Rahm Emanuel. 

PEBO................

Is Fitzgerald afraid of the political fall-out in going after the Jackson mob?

Tito is a stone killer.

Barack Obama "roasts" Rahm Emmanuel at a Cure for Epilepsy event in 2005.

It's a seven minute segment and the humor, as such, starts off at around the 2:30 mark. At 3:30 Barack highlights the ethics of Chicago politics.

Lots of humor, as such, about what a profane, vicious jack-ass Rahm is.

The Republicans MUST take a page out of the Democrats playbook and demand that Rahm Emanuel resign from Obama's cabinet.

Republicans need to take advantage of this and hammer the Democrats with it as much as they can.

8 The Lefties were right.  Fitzmas IS the most wonderful time of the year.

9 I don't think anybody should interpret Rahm's relative silence during this to mean much.

My heart's been broken before.

10     The ABC blog says that Rahm is claiming he's getting death threats.   From who? Mayor Daley?   Michelle Obama?

11 I read in a profile story on Rahm a while ago that he started out as a professional ballet dancer. Did anyone else know that?

12 Rahm is receiving death threats or is he issuing death threats? This guy is a vicious S.O.B., can't see him cowering..most probably Barry the Messiah ordered to shut up and lay low.

13 I'd like to comment on this post, but right now, I'm going to be a father, k? Don't-- don't do this, guys, excuse me.

14 It's getting close to 5 PM on Friday, I would assume that the Obama spinners will be coming out with something regarding Rahm shortly.

15 CNN reporter was saying that the speaker who is responsible to bring the impeachment hearings is a strong Blago supporter. Go figure.

16

Rahm going to jail would be too funny, especially since he used to be a ballerina. He would belong to the Aryan with the most cigarettes.

Never will happen, but a guy can dream.

Whatever happened with the story about Emmanuel covering up for the Florida Congressman (Mark Foley's replacement)?

17 Cavuto just asked "Is Rahm gone?" and then went to commercial. That was wierd.

18 Congrats, and good luck kiffen

And Rahm is a politician.  They get loads of death threats everyday from your run-of-the mill wackos.  Nothing to see here...

19 Bart -- Rahm didn't say who issued him death threats. Apparently, in his anger over being hounded by reporters, he told a cameraman who he let inside his home to use the bathroom, that he was disgusted with the media and that he was receiving death threats.

20 Anyone know if Blagojevich gets to keep some sort of governor's pension if he resigns? What about if he's impeached?

21

he was disgusted with the media and that he was receiving death threats

A Democrat disgusted with the media? Like Ted Bundy got disgusted with his "girlfriends" after they got all stiff and cold and smelly?

22 BTW.  Don't know if it hasn't been linked yet.  I present the latest Kass article.

Man behind curtain is wizard of Rod, Rahm

"As chief of staff for President-elect Barack Obama, he's usually at Obama's news conferences, standing off to the side, glowering like some fiercely loyal mini-me.

"But Emanuel wasn't there Thursday when Obama faced reporters to answer questions about federal charges against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Dead Meat), accused of trying to sell Obama's Senate
seat to the highest bidder."

23

To toss out a possibility -- the legislature would prefer having someone else do this on their behalf, because too many of them fear what secrets Blago might let leak about them in retaliation. If it's just the AG and the Supreme Court -- hey, Blago, you know we were really on your side all along...

Ding ding ding....we have a winner!

24 somebody is going to end up with their head in a bowling-ball bag for this!

25 Wow, and the Electoral College hasn't even met yet.  The Obama! Administration is off to a rousing start.

26

 The Obama! Administration is off to a rousing start.

Four year train wreck.

27

CNN reporter was saying that the speaker who is responsible to bring the impeachment hearings is a strong Blago supporter. Go figure.

As more of this comes out you'll probably find out what little deals the speaker was involved in as well.  Probably have to recuse themselves from the position, or even resign.  Anyone else getting the image of half the state legislature resigning or having charges brought up against them?

28 But why would the AG do this? Impeachment is the job of the legislature, not the courts. Is it a speed thing? I doubt it. An impeachment can happen quickly, if so desired.

Maybe the courts can be trusted to do it but the legislature, who paid for their positions and are just as corrupt, cannot.

Either way, it's not the courts job, nor do they have the power - and damn well should not.

29

I think they do not want the legislator getting involved here because it opens the door for a Republican to get that seat. They want a cool removal from office with no “bipartisan” involvement.

 

Anyone with any common sense knows that everyone involved in  this is dirty. One can not be involved with bribery and conspiracy by one’s self.

30 Earlier spin had Rahm Emanuel heroically calling Peter PATRICK Fitzgerald to blow the whistle on Blago's pay-for-play grasping.---

and of course that was the r-tards of Firedogswamp that jumped all over that bit of hopeyness.

31 I love it, Chris.  Their "solution" to the matter involves invoking a Illinois constitutional crisis.

32 Are we about to hear the "this is not the --- I thought I knew" Obama theme song again? 

33
That's it!  And I'm fucking serious!  I am not dipping my balls in this one!  They're too damn sore.  Over-dipped,  if you will.  I mean,  sure,  it's a great story and all.  Tons of great stuff in there, thought provoking... serious...  ass kicking good news... but...  Oh what the fuck!  I'm dippin' 'em!



Ooohh yeeeaaahh... that's it.

34 CJ?

As a background to what Kass wrote, the real power in Chicago politics is NOT the alderman.  It is the ward committeemen.  Of course sometimes, they are the same.

The alderman are there only to rubber-stamp Da Mare's bills through the city council.  The ward committeeman is the guy that hands out the patronage jobs and makes sure the garbage gets picked up.  Nothing happens in any election--including for the state legislature--without the ward committeeman's approval.

35

I admit I don't keep up with news like I should, so please excuse my ignorance.  Is Rahm Emanuel black?  I'm not sure if/how much I should be criticizing the guy. 

Also, could we set up some kind of system to indicate folks' grievance classification?  Something like (for example) Jesse Jackson Jr. (BM) for black male would be good.  I feel like I'm stepping through a minefield being critical of folks without knowing their race/gender/sexual orientation/whatever. I'd hate to be a racist/sexist/homophobe/whatever-ist-aphobe.

36 The one 'associate' from Chicago he thought he could sneak in might be gone by January. I'll bet Clinton's got an old chief of staff who Obama can use, to match his Cabinet.

37

Before you go starting legal proceedings questioning someone's competency, don't you need -What's that law word I'm thinking of? Oh, yes - evidence?

Is the AG in Illinois every bit as power hungry and corrupt as Blago?

38 Wonder if somehow, some way, the Clinton's are behind this..how gloriously wicked would that be!

39 Why is everyone bothering the little ballerina? I'm sure he's just like his boss he doesn't know nothin' about nothin'.

40 I don't know that it's so surprised that Rham is getting death threats.

I don't think it's the time to start killing or threatening people, but people like Rham are enemies of democracy and a lot of people are oh so frustrated with how corrupt the political system, from the MSM to the courts has become.

Rham could have easily leaked that he cooperated.  There is no doubt that did not.  He belongs in prison.

41 IIRC, Rahm is Jewish NTTAWWT

42 I think John Kass has already picked up the scent on this case.  Obama will have to pull a unicorn out of his ass to avoid the ultimate connection between his top advisers and this sorry-assed Blago "pay-to-play" deal for BObo's Senate seat.  While these political machinations might come as a shock to some, they come as no surprise to us who grew up around here and are familiar with the foul odor of Illinois politics.  Flush twice, it's a long way to the White House.

43

The middle possibility is very bad for Emanuel and by extension Obama.  Belated cooperation after initial participation only gets one a deal, and then only if a bigger fish were set to go into the deep fryer.  There's only one bigger fish than Emanuel.

I'll bet Obama is praying real hard that the grand jury doesn't come back before 1/21.

44 IC 38- re the Clintons; Assuming career Democrats could possibly have anything to hide, how many people would have to be exposed and deposed for the Sec'y of State to assume the Presidency?

45 Jewish?  Okay, but what are the rules for Jews if I'm a conservative-straight-white male?  I forget which standard they fall under for us.  Geez, this would be so much easier if I were gay or something...

46 Some people are saying that Rahm could actually end up with Barry's senate seat. Crazy, I realize but a good way to keep his mouth shut.

47 ...or could she just roast One in exchange for Biden naming her VP? Just having fun here...

48 CP, Rahm's Jewish, at least in the genetic sense-I don't know what his beliefs are.  The mention came up in a dust up a couple of weeks back when his father made some inartful comments about what kind of job he'd have-specifically not janitorial as he isn't an arab.

49 Teleprompter Jesus is a compulsive serial ratfucker.  He's the kind of ass that uses people like steppingstones and gratuitously kicks 'em in the teeth as he scampers over them.

Clan JJ has a trump card in this, though.  Once they figure-out that they're headed headlong for the pavement under the bus, they can call-in favors around the grievance industry and have BHO's blackness revoked.  I've already overheard talk of "no slave blood."

Any look past PEBO's swarthy outside into the content of his character reveals a run-of-the-mill, whiny metrosexual with no accomplishments and a sense of entitlement that could make a Saudi prince blush.

50 t-bird - brilliant..I was just thinking that if this mess is bigger and deeper than most think and senile old Biden has to assume the position of POTUS, me thinks he might offer the VP to Hillary!
Just idle speculation as I pretend to be working on a Friday afternoon...heh

51 Damn,  I hope Blago's line isn't the only one tapped.  That whole fucking town probably looks like that Joe Pesci scene from Good Fellas where he's walking around the parking lot of his business talking to his "associate" while they cover their mouths so the FBI can use lip readers.

Chicago Politicians: "You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you?"

The Rest of the Fucking Country: "Yes.  You are apparently here to amuse us."

52 Rahm is getting death threats? Why should the ballerina be worried about that? All he has to do is attack a table with a steak knife and yell DEAD! and that should scare everyone away.

53 Whether or not Hillary is somehow behind this, I am sure that she has not stopped smiling all week.

54 I'm so angry! All I can do is dance. I'm just going to go home and bite my pillow.

55 The EC hasn't met yet, so if it's bad enough that Obama can't be presient, would Biden get the position or would Mccain?

Not that Mccain wants it.  And frankly, I don't want him to have it and this is reading like a script to 24.  He's a a war hero who is a douchey politician who would never serve the interests of conservatism.  And a GOP president in the next four years would be blamed for all kinds of nonsense.

It's going to be great, though, if Biden gets the position.  He's a dumbass, but I think he knows it and I think he's got some kind of soul.  If he gave the VP nod to Hillary, he would die within two years.

56

Yes, Ace, it's Patrick Fitzgerald and not Peter as Topsecretk9 pointed out in #30.

57

As more of this comes out you'll probably find out what little deals the speaker was involved in as well.

Take a wild guess who the daughter of the Illinois House Speaker is. 

Hint.  She has the same last name, Madigan.

58 We already know Obama likes memoirs, having written two already.  I hope he keeps detailed tapes of all his thoughts like that bonehead Nixon did!

59 t-bird, there isn't really a scandal route to get SoS into the POTUS chair.  Pelosi and Reid are in line ahead of her, and the chain doesn't apply until she's been confirmed.

If Hillary is the lucky cabinet member who doesn't show up at the State of the Union, watch out.

Right now, I guess it depends how long there is before the electoral college meets.  Electors are sworn, but I'm not sure what the penalty is if they go off the reservation. 

Eh? Cavuto just said Rahm isn't a target of the investigation and Fox switched stories?

60 I'm not sure everyone knows that infamous dinner where Rahm threw down a steak knife calling the names of people who didn't support the Clintons by yelling "dead".

61 Just the chance of seeing Revrum Jackson and other lefties behind bars has already made this a wonderful Christmas!

Angry White Dude

62 Peter Fitzgerald was the senator before Obama, I think.

63

 As any of us from Chicago and work in/for this city can tell you. The AG wants the job (Governer). Period. She is from the same criminal mob known as the Chicago machine. She benefited from the same machine hacks that Obama , Blago, Rahm, Daley and the rest of that crew.  Her father is the Speaker of the Illinois Legislature. They are from Chicago like the rest of these crooks.

Compare it to the Sopranos. Mayor Daley being Tony. One of his Capos just got locked up, now the other Capos are jocking for that guys spot. Daley will figure out who is going to get Governer and TADA! she will be Governer. (Unless the electorate finally wakes up). She is one of them. It ALL goes back to Chicago and Daley. Its all about money and power to get more money, thats the Chicago way. Mike Royko said it best when he said the city should change its motto from URBS UN HORTO "City in a garden" to UBI EST MEA "Wheres mine!"

This crap aint gonna end.

64

But why would the AG do this? Impeachment is the job of the legislature, not the courts

This might clear things up a little.

 

CHICAGO (AP) — She is the daughter of the powerful Illinois House speaker, the state's first female attorney general and a rising star in the Democratic party.

Lisa Madigan had a high profile long before Gov. Rod Blagojevich became engulfed in scandal, but the ongoing political soap opera has only elevated her status.

In an unprecedented move, she filed a motion Friday with the state Supreme Court asking justices to strip the governor of his powers.

"I recognize that this is an extraordinary request, but these are extraordinary circumstances," Madigan said. It was not immediately clear when the Supreme Court might take up the matter. The justices also have the discretion to deny the attorney general's request.

65 I'm so angry! All I can do is dance. I'm just going to go home and bite my pillow.

Don't let 'em get ya down,  Corky.  They're all bastard people.

66 Rahm better be careful or he's going to wake up some morning with a severed water buffalo penis (traditional Kenyan mob warning, similar to the Eye-talian thing with the horse head) lying on his pillow next to his head. 

67

I enjoy Mr. Kass'  columns, but I always feel sorry for him when I read them because I imagine he's come in for his share of ridicule by people who insist on calling him Jack instead of John.

68 I'm not sure everyone knows that infamous dinner where Rahm threw down a steak knife calling the names of people who didn't support the Clintons by yelling "dead".

Shit.  Just looked that one up.  What a fucking asshole.  Hope he goes down.  Hard.

69 Damn, everyone - grow up and stop calling Mr. Emmanuel a "ballerina"! He's a grown man, for God's sake - the correct term is "ballerino".

Christ, did you go to school in Alaska or something? Hicks.

70 actually, mike madigan(father of AG Lisa by the way) is not a blago supporter-they have been at odds for a long time.  Emil Jones, mentor of PEBO and the guy that gave him his marching orders while in the Ill. Senate, on the other hand has been a long time and strong supporter of blago.

71 You can call it hiding behind his kids but I'd call it treating an ambush interview with the contempt and disrespect it deserves. I want him to answer questions but that kind of thing should be answered with a duel.

72
Eddie Rendell weighs in:

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell today criticized Barack Obama for not being more upfront about the Illinois corruption scandal.

Now, he said, the story will continue to dominate the media’s attention.

“They have never been in an executive position before,” Rendell said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “The rule of thumb is whatever you did, say it and get it over with and make it a one-day story as opposed to a three-day story. Politicians are always misjudging the intelligence of the American people.”

Known for his blunt critiques of fellow Democrats, Rendell did not hold back during the interview.

The public, said Rendell, understands Obama and his aides would have an interest in who fills the Senate seat and some contact with the governor's office — and that Obama should have said as much at the outset.

"Did Rahm Emanuel, who took Rod Blagojevich's seat in Congress, have contact with Rod Blagojevich? Of course he did," Rendell said. "They may have thought he was the craziest S.O.B. in the world. But you still have to have contact with him."

Thanks for clearing things up, Ed.

73

You can call it hiding behind his kids but I'd call it treating an ambush interview with the contempt and disrespect it deserves.

You do realize we are talking about Rahm fucking Emmanuel, right?  Are you forgetting the Clinton years?

Rahm likes to play dirty, very dirty.  Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

74 Damn, everyone - grow up and stop calling Mr. Emmanuel a "ballerina"! He's a grown man, for God's sake - the correct term is "ballerino".

Christ, did you go to school in Alaska or something? Hicks.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that term or the price of arugula.

75 Rahm better be careful or he's going to wake up some morning with a severed water buffalo penis (traditional Kenyan mob warning, similar to the Eye-talian thing with the horse head) lying on his pillow next to his head.

Okay.  Which is easier.

Cutting off a buffalo penis or a horses head?  I'd say buffalo penis if it's okay to kill the animal first.  If you can't kill the animal first,  I'd have to go with horses head.  If you can use a chainsaw.

Sneaking a horses head or buffalo penis into someone's bed?  Easy.  Buffalo penis.  If you get caught you can always say its a large piece of jerky.  Go back to sleep.  If the person recognizes it's a buffalo penis?  Well that would be awkward.

That's why I always just toss a hobo penis in the ol' mailbox.  Quick.  Easy.  To the point.  Done.

76 Everytime I see that fucking dwarf I can't help but replay that old Elton John chestnut-'hold me closer tiny dancer...'   

77

I was thinking that it was brilliant of PEBO to get Hillary in the Secretary of State job, slide in Carlyon Kennedy into her Senate seat, then fire her for the first thing she did to piss him off.  That way she’s out of politics all together.  But if the Clinton’s are somehow behind this Blago thing…man they could all be out Macevalianing  each other.  Damm this is better that the Sopranio’s

78 Rahm is a dirty bastard and if he ends up the only one from Barry's inner circle to go down with Blago, it would indeed be a sweet Christmas..

79

I'm not sure everyone knows that infamous dinner where Rahm threw down a steak knife calling the names of people who didn't support the Clintons by yelling "dead".

Shit.  Just looked that one up.  What a fucking asshole.  Hope he goes down.  Hard.

May many boners violate his poopshute.

80 Anonymous sources claiming Rahm is not a target of the investigation.

81 Ugh, I just went to HuffPo to look that up.  I feel dirty.

OTOH, I feel no pity for the bastard being ambushed by reporters, kids or not.  He might have thought about his kids before participating in a criminal enterprise.

82 Sure, the hell with Rahm Emmanuel, he's a thug and a scumbag. But so's the reporter, and that kind of crap is wrong no mstter who you target. Even the old mob wouldn't target someone in front of their wife and kids.

83

Anonymous sources claiming Rahm is not a target of the investigation.

Neither was Nixon

84 80, We waited all day to hear that?  I thought Fridays were for the good stuff.

Still, I think there may be a "yet" that got left out of that story.  He hasn't disappeared from the face of the earth because nothing's going on.

85 Fuck the Cubs!!

86 My sense is that 'not a target' does not equal "not on the tapes" or "not caught saying crooked or embarrasing things." It means effectively we've chosen not to pursue prosecution, either because the evidence of criminality is not sufficient, or because Emmanuel is cooperating in other ways, or maybe they just elected to overlook it.

Remember, Blagojevich at one point was cited as "Government Official A" in a US Atty affidavit against Rezko. The US Atty's office always publicly maintained that Blagojevich was 'not a target.'

87

This might clear things up a little.

Yep.  An AG with political ambitions grandstanding?  I'm pretty sure that scenario has played out with the other 49 State AGs at multiple points in their career.

88 Bah- damn sockpuppets.  Bad puppet!  No washing for you!

89 Even if he is not the target, he still might be a 'subject' or a 'person of interest'. Oh, please, Santa, please!

90

Damn, everyone - grow up and stop calling Mr. Emmanuel a "ballerina"! He's a grown man, for God's sake - the correct term is "ballerino".

Fuck that.  From now on, Rahm Emmanuel should be referred to by his Secret Service code name:  Tiny Dancer.

 

91

Even the old mob wouldn't target someone in front of their wife and kids.

True.  But the new Democrats would.

Sorry, I'm sick of playing by Emily Post rules with people who have no scrupples.  Perhaps Rahm should have thought about treating people like scumbags if he didn't want to face the same.  He made his chops in the cutthroat world of Chicago politics and the Clinton White House.  The sleaziest of sleaze.

Besides, having to answer reporters questions in front of his kids is hardly a grilling by Torquemada.  If they had been there to do the usual Obama fluff piece he would have sought them out. 

92 If Rahm Emmanuel were a pure-bred dog, he would be a Miniature Cocksucker.

93 Christopher Taylor #71, I accept the proposition of a duel.

To where shall I drive? I shall of course choose 1911's or AR-15's at 15 or 100 yards respectively.

(seriously I didn't think lefties had that kind of balls, but I don't want the offer to get cold)

Shall we sell tickets? Blood sport can be a financial boon in these tough economic times.

94 Well, at this rate, if the Obama administration (elect) is going to be anything like the Clinton admin, he's going to have to bomb Iran and China the day he takes office  to take the heat off all his domestic scandals. 

95 Even the old mob wouldn't target someone in front of their wife and kids.

Not so.  There was a hit on a mobster in a Little Italy restaurant and the guy ran out into the street to get the bullets flying in his direction to protect his family.

I like how Rahm is using his kids as a human shield.  Classy.  Even an old school mobster wouldn't do that.

96 Jack Straw, It's weirder than you think.  Lisa Madigan is Mike Madigan's Stepdaughter.  She changed her name to Madigan as a way tocash in on her "father".  My google fu is weak and I can't find it.  It's a complete stonewall by the media.

97 Do any women find him attractive? I think he's spent a few too many minutes in the tanning bed. Also think he's had a nose job. It's way too perfect.

98 Rahm is a dirty bastard and if he ends up the only one from Barry's inner circle to go down with Blago, it would indeed be a sweet Christmas..

I know, I've been enjoying this way too much.  Every time I hear an update on the story, I'm struck anew with joy.

Four more years of this . . . too much fun.

And Tom Daschle in charge of health care reform!!!  Like that's going to go anywhere now . . .

Emanuel: I’m Getting Death Threats Over Blagojevich Scandal
Obama’s Chief of Staff Refuses to Go to Work Because of Media Stakeout

Too funny in a sad pathetic way. Can you imagine a COS not going to work because of the media?

100 Rahm is a sitting congressman and a member of the House Democratic leadership...he can't honestly be claiming that this is the first time he's gotten a death threat.

101

another interesting person is John De Leo http://tinyurl.com/6j4et7Man behind curtain is wizard of Rod, Rahm

...DeLeo is an extremely powerful politician. You know this because he's hardly ever quoted in newspaper stories.

Emanuel and DeLeo have a relationship. Emanuel is the congressman from the 5th Congressional District, where DeLeo is the Democratic state central committeeman. What hasn't been reported on much is that Emanuel has not yet resigned from the House. And if you want to play politics in Jimmy's sandbox, you need his OK.....

It's reasonable to assume that if there's one fellow Rod would talk to about the Senate seat, it's Jimmy. And given their relationship, Jimmy could talk to Rahm. I'm not suggesting money was offered. There is nothing illegal about politicians horse-trading to fill seats. Only when such deals are monetized—as the governor is alleged to have done—is it illegal.

I'm just talking about putting political pieces on the board the Chicago Way. A vacant Senate seat and a soon-to-be vacant House seat in Illinois would be a package deal. Consider this mathematical equation: Jimmy/Rod + Jimmy/Rahm = Happy Rod, Jimmy and Rahm. Get it?

102 Any death threats he's getting over this has to be coming from his own side.

If lefties start offing each other in real life, I'm going to rent a banquet hall and throw a party.

103 Rahm is a sitting congressman and a member of the House Democratic leadership...he can't honestly be claiming that this is the first time he's gotten a death threat.

Yeah, for crying out loud I've had death threats on an Everquest message board, they were empty and stupid but anybody in his position has gotten many of them before.

104 Where are the Kos kids?  They had been around earlier in the week to spread their cheer.  What could possibly motivate them to not share their insights on these developments?

105 I pity the poor table that tough guy Runt Emanuel is going to take this out on.

106 Darn.  I was hoping to click on the video link and hear that tribal music and low-budget presentation aesthetic I came to love during the election; you know, the one use for, most recently, if memory serves, the "bankrupt coal" Obama quote, and the WBZ recording? 

I miss that music; it's one of the last things I remember about that beautiful time, less than two months ago, when I just assumed Americans would not be so stupid as to elect ZerObama.

As they say..."good times"....

107 he can't honestly be claiming that this is the first time he's gotten a death threat.

Not likely.   There's cranks  in every district.  The same sort who confess to every crime that happens.

108 If the fruit never falls far from the tree, the reverse is also true: the tree falls near the fruit. Uh... Obama is the fruit. There'll be a quiz at the end.

Yeah, tanning beds! By the way, did you know Sarah Palin has a tanning bed? And she's too dumb to run statewide corruption schemes? Look over there!

118 Yeah, as anyone from the area will tell you, Daley is Fitz's ultimate target.  Rezko and Blago are really just stepping stones along the way.  Of course, Zero is from that pond and kind of hard to miss.

119 If lefties start offing each other in real life, I'm going to rent a banquet hall and throw a party.

Vince Foster was unavailable for comment.

120 *laughing hysterically*

Man, if America's going down, at least it's gonna be hilarious.

In other news, I got The Dark Knight on widescreen from Amazon today!

121 I didn't know I could trust this administration any less until this week.

122 Looks like the Fitzman is bringing a gun to Obamessiah's knife fight.

123 I think Fitz is keeping two cases separate, because the two mobs involved are competitors and he wants to keep things simple for a jury. The big dog on the block is the Daley machine - it's older and lots more powerful. He can hit the Jacksons later, when he has Blago and his goons under his thumb for leverage.

124
Thank you, Lyn.

Jimmy is still teh cockholster.

125 I can't wait for the transcripts of the tapes.  No matter what shakes out it won't look good for Rahm or the One.
And guess what?  Cabbage Patch Blago hasn't even BEGUN to sing.

126

Emanuel has been the slimy cocksucker behind 99% of the BDS/Move-on.org "lets fucking destroy the US and lose the war to win elections" strategy for the last 8 years

If this fucking greaseworm goes down it will be the ultimate in poetic justice

I couldn't have said it better myself. Srsly

And Jimmy is still teh cockholster.

128 Thanks for the laffs guys. I really loved the "hobo penis" in the mailbox. LoL Shoulda done a spew alert. I was drinking coffee. Geez what a mess. Great thread...I hope Mr. Ballerino gets his nuts caught in a wringer this time, but I have hoped before with these creeps and been disappointed. We are in for a Chicago style good time for the next four years. Get your guns up and move to Texas, we just may be outa here before its all over.

129

Obama needs to tap dance his way out of this one.  Rahm has to
dump the toe-shoes and tutu and wing it. "Dancing Queen" comes
to mind........Bill Clinton 92 comes to mind.....dirty politics come
to mind.  Does anyone in the MSM mind?  Doubt it....this pres-
ident MUST succeed. for the good of us all.

 

 

130

Rahm's getting death threats?  Well let's lighten up on this "witch hunt"!
One wouldn't want to see a democrat Attila the Hun,  Daley protege,
leech of political leeches miss an hour of quiet repose. Let's move
on.......................nothing to see here.................  it's all Delay's fault.

 

 

131

Knowledge of and facilitating it in any way may not be evidence of conspiracy but it is aiding and abetting.  Obama is at least guilty of this crime.  There is no evidence to show Obama and his minions had no knowledge of what was going on.  Far from it, they were aware of who the players were and what the goals were. 

 

Now we get to see what the change Obama was proclaiming is.  Hope the American people like it.  Every people get the government they deserve.  What better finale could there be to the Bushies than the annointed one?

132

Barack was on his tricycle until Daley and the Chicago Mongols
slid him up onto a Harley, redirected all traffic, and now have
him doing wheelies on Pennsylvania Ave. with the press standing
there with stop-watches telling us what a "natural" he is. Over
half of the voters believe in the reincarnation of the "Easy Rider".
Get ready for the NEW Evel Knieval, appearing nationwide, 
nightly, on a TV station near you. He's too ----- to fail. You
fill in the blank.

 

 

 

 

 

133 1. Oh, come, Oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom the junior senator from Illinois' seat,
Because while Blago enjoys appreciation
Even Obamamessiah's thanks wont buy any meat.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

2. Oh, come, they adopted son of Chicago, free
Thine own from Bush's tyranny;
Because while Barack will let Iran get the bomb;
He promises to bomb them back when Israel is done;
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The H4 replica watches took replica watches Harrison a massive 13 years to replica watches construct-but this was only the end of a lifetime's work. His genius was clear from the very beginning. Unfortunately many astronomers such as Nevil Maskelyne were convinced that a mechanical solution replica watches would not work and that only astronomy could solve the replica watches longitude problem. The fact that Harrison was from a working class family and had little replica watches formal education probably didn't help his prospects.Solving the longitude problem through horology meant designing a timepiece that could work accurately at sea. When you watch consider the rolling waves, changes in replica watches temperature and generally adverse replica watches conditions the dificulty of this task becomes apparent.The H1 was completed in 1735 and proved replica successful at sea. However the Board of Longitude demanded a full a transatlantic wholesale watch voyage. They gave Harrison a grant of 500 pounds with which he began work on the H2 watches.
