BLAGO'S REVENGE; TWISTING DEMOCRATS IN KNOTS (hairy wonder shooting down Dims at will)
NY POST ^ | 1/5/09 | RICH LOWRY

Posted on 01/05/2009 4:50:36 AM PST by Liz

Democrats left in Blago's hands the very power to appoint a US senator at the root of his most spectacularly corrupt schemes........ Democrats ranted about Blagojevich's moral turpitude....letting him keep a loaded political gun and simply trusted that their admonitions would prevent him from pointing it at anyone. Sure enough, the delightfully shameless governor strode into a press conference, waved the gun around and then blasted away - and Democrats have no one but themselves to blame.

ITEM Harry Reid was caught on the Blago wiretaps.

Yeah, but if it involves lubing with KY jelly.........according to the Dims, that's Congressional Medal material.

And, this is a surprise to whom? These are leftists we're talking about, ethics, morals, honor, etc. have no place in the conversation.

Why is the Blago spectacle “gross”, other than it is being aimed at Democrats this time instead of at Republicans?

Big deal. All the guy did was name a fairly non-controversial pick for the Senate. The only reason it is controversial is because he made it. At his core, Blago is probably pissed that a zero like Obama got POTUS while he (with better hair) languishes in IL. On a side note, IL has worse roads than a Third World country and tolls every mile.

Yes. We were in Illinois the summer of 2007 and I was shocked at the state of the roads in southern Illinois. Where is all that tax money going? Oh, wait, the Dems have been in complete control for a while. Never mind.

Politicians must be losing sleep at night wondering what Blago will say under cross examination.

They must be nervous, very very nervous.

Just an aside, but what in the world would weaselreid know about moral turpitude?

Nice summing up-----could not agree more. Ironic how everything in Dim politics reduces to Me, Myself, and I.

All Dims were educated at the School of Whatever Works For Me.

“ITEM:” “Harry Reid was caught on the Blago wiretaps.”

Oh no, let us hope Harry didn’t say anything racist about picking a WHITE Woman.

Red in 2010, not Reid.

You got me? We live on a dirt road in Illnois. They put a little gravel on it once in a while and it just sinks into the dirt. We have gotten stuck in the mud in the middle of the road in a 4 wheel drive truck. The taxes we pay are outrageous for what we receive. Obama better be sending one of his chain gangs our way to repair the road............like that will happen.

'Southern' Illinois?!?
Ohhhh, you must mean the 'Land beyond the clutches of mayor Richie Daley.

Just kidding - his 'clutches' encompass the entire state - THAT'S where the tax money goes. To %$#*ing Chicago, and I'm series. 'WE' have to pay for his broken down public transit system. And next in his sights is OUR Property Taxes for his %#$*ing schools.
