Our Opinion: Governor’s act of omission is inexcusable

HOW DO we even begin to measure the degree of crassness embodied in Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s failure to show up at Wednesday’s Days of Remembrance Holocaust Observance at the Old State Capitol?

There simply is no metric for an act of omission that so clearly demonstrates this governor’s lack of respect for so many things: for those who planned and participated in Wednesday’s event, for the history it represents, for the very office that he holds.

The Holocaust observance is a 27-year tradition that, until 2004, always had featured the governor in attendance. Blagojevich missed it in 2004 because he was in Utica, where a tornado had killed eight people. He didn’t have such a valid excuse this year.

Another buddy of the Muslim/Marsist shows the Muslim/Marsist's true colors.

Obammy wouldn’t like it.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

More of the Lib “uniters, not dividers” and “cross bipartisoan “ lines crowd. disgusting.

[Popman]

In the comment section from the article someone points out he was listed as Keynote Speaker for this event.

Anybody confirm this?

[Ann Archy]

Blago should be in JAIL.....except the fact that PATRICK FITZGERALD let him SLIDE in the REZKO scandal!!!

Read the comments; they're great. Here's an example that applies just as well to the Muslim/Marxist:

Perhaps his muslim and/or middle eastern backers would not have approved his attendance at this function, and you know we must do everything in our power to keep our political backers happy, especially if they have the money that allows him to continue. (Emphasis added).

At least he wasn't seen making out during Schindler's List.

"Our Opinion: Governor’s act of omission is inexcusable"

My Opinion: What would they rather have?

1. Gov 'Pooh for Brains' showing up at their event.

   Or.....

2. The millions in Illinois taxpayer money Blago has illegally and unconstitutionally given solely to Jewish Schools and Synagogues across IL since he became Gov?

My guess is #2
