Director of Illinois Dept. of Veterans' Affairs visits Quincy
Duckworth comments on consideration for Senate

QUINCY, IL -- Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There's already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Duckworth made an appearance in Saturday's Veterans' parade in Quincy. We asked her about the possibility of filling Obama's seat.
"The Governor's office confirmed yesterday that he is considering me and I am deeply honored jus to be considered. I hope whoever is selected is someone who is willing to travel around the state and gets to know this wonderful state. I'm just honored to be considered," Duckworth said.
The governor expects to make his decision before Christmas. Part of the timing depends on when Obama officially vacates his senate seat.
Tammy Duckworth (Democrat opportunist consumed by ambition)(willing to say anything to advance her own career.)
KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obamain the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.
“Like they were never even there. It was just a bad dream, just like the past election.”
Yeah...we FReepers imagine the strangest things! LOL!
WE ARE AT WAR WITH EURASIA.
OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA.
I read that today, so it must be true.
I just tossed this together. I'll fix it up this weekend.
Toadying media outlets have no pride whatsoever.
We have the article, losers, at least pretend to stand by it since you can't wish it away.
Duckworth lost her bid for the congress. Pathetic that she would be given a senate seat.
But then, it is Illinois.
She is anti war and spent a lot of time attacking President Bush.
Perfect fit for O.
O did not have contact with that Governor, Mr. Blogoivich.
Not one time. Now he has to go back to the business of being President before he’s offically the president.
On the taxpayers' tab, of course.
Sweet.
I clicked the link and got this: Content for Src=”219212” of Type=”application/html; src=cms-id” is unavailable.
The story has been scrubbed. It would be hilarious how predictable it is, but it’s too serious to laugh about.

Did someone? As two news articles and a video are gone.
Obama reached out and - poof!
It’s gone..........
