The HUffies are worried that the Cabbage Patch Doll known as Rod Blagojevich might drag their Obamassiah down as you can see in this HUffington POst THREAD titled, "Blagojevich Scandal: Governor's Lawyer Wants Obama Staff Subpoenaed." However, unfortunately for Team Obama, the Cabbage Patch Doll is NOT going gently into the night. He absolutely intends to drag his fellow Chicago Machine Democrats, including the Obamassiah and Rahmbo, down with him. And the best thing of all is that the Cabbage Patch Doll has plenty of audiotape evidence care of federal wiretaps, to make his case that the rest of the Chicago Machine is as corrupt as he is. And this has the HUffies worried, very worried. So let us now watch the HUffies sweat out the legal maneuvers of the Cabbage Patch Doll in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if the eBay prices for Cabbage Patch Dolls has gone up since this scandal broke, is in the [barackets]:
Blagojevich Scandal: Governor's Lawyer Wants Obama Staff Subpoenaed
[Since they are part of the same corrupt Chicago Machine as he is.]
CHICAGO — In a move intended to force public testimony from President-elect Barack Obama's inner circle, a lawyer for Gov. Rod Blagojevich has asked the legislative panel considering impeachment of the governor to subpoena more than a dozen witnesses, including Obama's incoming chief of staff.
State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie told The Associated Press on Thursday that the House committee received a letter from Blagojevich attorney Ed Genson asking it to subpoena Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and more than a dozen others, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
[And now let us watch the HUffies break out in a flood of nervous sweat...]
This season is turning into the "Holiday Season from Hell"!!!!
[Especially if one paid FULL PRICE for a Christmas Honey Baked Ham when the half price coupons are easily accessible on the Web (inside joke that I will never get tired of as you shall see).]
Don't think of trying to tie President Obama to your crooked client. the tapes speak for themselves.
[And Rahmbo's voice is loud and clear on those tapes.]
This clown doesn't know when to say when. What a joke. He did the crime now he should do his time.
[Please just confess and don't implicate your partners in crime.]
Blagojevich is a sleeze and a coward...he needs to step up and take his punishment and get on w/ his life. Not drag every one down to his level...he and Madoff can share a cell in Gitmo.
[And be tortured with A/C and extra large portions of orange glazed chicken along with being billed full price for Honey Baked Ham (inside joke here).]
Barack Obama should tell Blago to F&@K off, Fitz already cleared Obama and his transition team of any wrongdoing. In a few weeks, Obama will have too many fires to put out around the world and the fire that is destroying our economy to worry about the fire going on in Illinois. Blago must be removed from office, because he has gone power mad, just like Bu$h.
[Fitzmas is being delayed for the Obamassiah.]
Actually Blago just wants more power, he's like Anakin Skywalker who thought being a Jedi wasn't enough. Blago, like Bu$h, Cheney, Rove, has gone to the Dark Side.
[While the Obamassiah maintained his virginal political purity in the midst of the Chicago Machine.]
Geez, looks like Blag has decided if he's going down, he's gonna try to take as many people with him as he can.
[He's putting the Blag Tag on most of Team Obama.]
Thank god for executive privilege, Obama doesn't need be bothered by subpoenas.
[Obama was President when pay for play happened?]
He needs to be "neutralized" quickly.
[Fort Marcy Park?]
I hope this guy takes down all of the corrupt politicians associated with him. I supported Obama and still do. He should not be affraid to exonerate himself in this matter. However, if it is proven that he is also implicated in the shenanigans, I'm not opposed to having him removed. Our nation suffers from a chronic amount of corruption. I say again, I hope this guy takes down all corrupt politicians involved in this matter. I hope there is a non-partisan witch hunt!
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! Let the flames begin!]
If you support Obama you would know that HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANYTHING ILLEGAL. How would you know this. The Attorney General Patrick Fitzgerald SAID SO. Why did he say so I'm guessing its to stop folks like YOU. You talk about I hope there is not a Partisan witch hunt when there is NO WITCH TO HUNT. So hence if there is a witch hunt which is UNLIKELY its going to be a PARTISAN one.
[And if Fitz says it, then IT MUST BE TRUE.]
All of this attention to a third rate con-man is just so much crap.
[LEAVE BARACK ALONE!!!]
It's getting worse and worse for Emanuel AND Obama~
[But...but didn't Fitz exonerate them without trial?]
Blagojevich needs to plead guilty, take a shorter sentence and stop all this nonsense about Obama staff testimonies. He has a choice.
[He can choose to fall on the sword for the Obamassiah.]
I hope this troublemaker Blago gets put away for ever.
[If he paid full price for a Honey Baked Ham then he deserves to serve a life term (inside joke here).]
i heard Ed Genson is a lousy attorney, hardly knows any laws government policy. he's cheap and looks like he glutton himself...
[I heard he swallowed half a full-priced Honey Baked Ham.]
Bring it on, bent boy.
[Paging Ben Burch!]
deflect, deny, deflect, deny..
[Deflect and deny that you ever paid full price for a Honey Baked Ham when the 50% off coupons are readily available on the web.]
I'm beginning to think IL democrats could screw up a winning lottery ticket..
[Or a Honey Baked Ham half off coupon.]
I believe Jesse jackson Sr. has done something foul.
[Paying full price for a Honey Baked Ham?]
What, you're copping to setting the small fire in the Jacksons' main fireplace?
[Where I plan to warm up my full price Honey Baked Ham.]
I believe you are stoopid
[Doh! I paid full price for a Honey Baked Ham!!!]
Blago wants all kinds of things...
[Including a half price Honey Baked Ham coupon easily available on the web?]
As someone who suppported Obama bigtime, I believe that lots more will come out to the detriment of Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel in this affair. For instance, exactly why would Jarrett whose only experience is as a realtor be the person that Emanuel favored for the senate seat? What has she done other than get Michelle Obama a high paying job at the University of Chicago? And why did Emanuel push for Jarrett and then later have to say that he did so without Obama's support? Emanuel is a typical, sleezy Chicago machine politician. He succeeded Blago as congressman from the Ill. 5th district and bragged he and Obama both put together the playbook for Blago's successful run for governor. There's more to connect Blago and Emanuel and Obama than has come out. Some investigate reporter should look at Jarrett and why she was being pushed for the senate.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
Blago should spend what little time he has becoming familiar with the fine print on the KY jelly tube.
[Thanx for that helpful bit of advice, Ben Burch.]
There is no such thing as a clean politician from Chicago, sad to say. Blago is simply pitiful.
[Would you mind telling me where Obama is from?]
Rahm better fall on his sword for Obama, or it will be BIG TIME TROUBLE for him.
[They must ALL sacrifice themselves for our beloved Obamassiah.]
Blago will go away if someone offers him a job. Right now he has absolutely no means to support his family and he's deep in the hole.
[Well, the Honey Baked Ham Co. needs a promotions manager to make the public aware of its incredible coupons. Believe it or not, quite a few people still pay full price for those hams when the half-price COUPON is readily available online.]
Unfortunately, as soon as Blago “gets his price” the entire affair will be dropped. Dropped by Fitz, by Blago and most of all, by the MSM. The sheeple will quickly lose interest and that will be that. The leftist sleezes will ooze their way out of another scandal and all will be right in the world of Chicago/Washington politics. How often we were treated to this sort of breathtaking disregard for law, fact and truth during the Clinton years! Well those will seem like the good old days by comparison to what is in store for us.
Bummer! Half-Baked Hams have no stores in Texas. I would have to go to Minnesota to get one, and I don’t own skis!
Enjoy yours, though!
Merry Christmas, PJ!
How long before they start Ken Starring their hero Fitz?
I grew up in the city of Chicago during the reign of Daley I, Hizzoner da Mare. .... BTW, when I was growing up, America was divided into a number of parts:HI ex 'neighbor'my neighborhood, the 50th Ward, aka Nortown, West Rogers Park, West Ridge...
the North Side of the city, Cubs country;
the South Side, Sox country;
But a looooong way from you, on the SW Side, in Sox Country. The 12th Ward, Brighton Park. And back before x-ways, a car ride to your neighborhood would require a packed lunch. But I'm sure I passed through it as a kid going to Fox Lake. We'd take Western Ave north to Milwaukee Ave then to US Rt 12 to Fox Lake (iirc).
Our big trip to the North Side was the loooong Bus Ride 'up' Western Ave. to Riverview Park. Then in '57 & '58 we'd go Ice Skating at the Chi Public Park near Irving or Montrose(?) & Lake Shore Drive (near/around the Totem Pole). It had the smoothest ice and the Warming Hut served Hot Dogs :-)
(Thanks to libh8er.)
[Obama was President when pay for play happened?]
Of course! It's called executive-elect privilege, silly! ;-)
Great Tagline or better yet great Top 10 List:
10 How often we were treated to continuous breathtaking disregard for law, fact and truth during the Clinton years! 9 How often we were treated to continuous flagrant breathtaking disregard for law, fact and truth during the Clinton years! 8 How often we were treated to sleaze and breathtaking disregard for law, fact and truth during the Clinton years! 7 How often we were treated to scandal and breathtaking disregard for law, fact and truth during the Clinton years!.....
The Life Lesson I’m taking away from this DUFU? Always check the web for coupons before shopping. If it weren’t for PJ, I would have been one who might have paid full price for a HoneyBaked ham, when the 50% off coupons were readily available on the web.
It was FUnnie to see one of the HUffies being relieved that the Obamessiah could hide behind executive privilege. Any time Bush claimed executive privilege, they screamed “COVERUP!”
Into the top 30 like Mrs. Blagojevich reluctantly making her way to the swear jar!
I have an entire extra ham in my garage which in Kansas makes a great extra deep freeze this time of year. I plan to have it eaten in time to actually be hungry for ham again at Easter.
What an odd quote. This basically suggests that this DU'er thinks Obama is guilty and Rahm better take the blame for it to save Obama's skin. I wonder if more of them think he is guilty and at okay with protecting him because he is the One?
Wait a minute. I thought all of DUmmieland was for closing Gitmo but now they want to put people in it? I sure wish they make up what little mind they occasionally have.
So to them Obama isn't corrupt, just everyone he knows may be.
I think this is funny as anything. Discussed this years ago as to why the Chicago Machine never went nationwide with a candidate. It seems it would give them unwanted attention like is happening now. Operating in the national arena shadows is one of their keys to survival. Can't have people outside of the Chicago area looking at their actions. Makes me wonder if by running Obama they're either showing their arrogance or stupidity.
El Rushbo was the first to call him a Cabbage Patch Doll.
I almost bought some anti-freeze today when I remembered about the coupons. Will check the web for those first. BTW, you can buy restaurant gift cards in your area cheap by checking the web. $10 gift cards are just $3 and $25 gift cards are just $10.
Where the hell is the coupon ????
Actually, when I saw the crowd waiting for the acceptance speech at Grant Park, I heard Natalie Portman's voice in my head:
"So this is how liberty dies: With thunderous applause."
You're spot on.. My sister lives just off of 176 & 12 in Wauconda.
I've traveled that route up 12 many times, but it was years ago..different life time ago..
