Yesterday at the War College we had a “Festavus” celebration. Free food and a metal pole.

We’re getting Rod Blagojevich for Fitzmas,
Only Rod Blagojevich will do,
Don’t want no doll, no dinky Tinker Toys,
We want a crooked governor to goof on and enjoy...

Yesterday at the War College we had a “Festavus” celebration. So, who got creamed in the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength"?

~~Kass PING!
“He didn’t demand that another impeachment panel member, state Rep. John Fritchey (D-Pastries) be removed, even though Fritchey has been an ostentatious reformer of late, busy in the news media expressing his righteousness.
But in real life, Fritchey is the son-in-law of powerful 36th Ward boss Sam “Pastries” Banks. Fritchey’s brother-in-law, Jimmy Banks, Pastries’ son, makes a fortune as a zoning lawyer, getting zoning changes through the city committee chaired by his uncle and Pastries’ brother, Ald. William “Now seems like a good time to retire” Banks. DeLeo is part of that no-neck 36th Ward empire.”
~~~
He is priceless.

Blago is small potatoes. He is a nobody. Ditto for Rezko.
Unless Fitz indicts O and Rahm it is all a smokescreen and coverup for O.

Good article but IMO, the best quote on the page was not in the article:
Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed.
Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack dumb asses who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?

I'm glad you didn't have the traditional airing of grievances. At a war college there’d be hell to pay if it got out of hand.
