Thank you. Now it makes sense.

I’m surprised Sam Zell is willing to take a $100 million dollar risk by defying Blago, though. He must have a safety net.

Don’t you know????

The Chosen One is allowed to stutter and keep his IQ intact. When Bush, McCain or Palin stutter, however, their IQ’s are automatically lowered according to the “DU Logical IQ Analysis Theorem”.

Or.... just like Clinton, there will be disaster after disaster, plane hijackings, embassy bombings and the like, so the media says “Look over here!” to take the heat off

At some point, though, Obama will no "friends" left to sacrifice.

Then he'll have former friends to threaten and intimidate.

...and somehow JJ Jr. didn’t know about this?

It was going to be a surprise. You get million dollar Christmas presents every year, don't you?

“So.. this was like a win win for the obama camp... what did they give up for this? We need a balance here.”

That’s a good question.

Keep in mind:
Michelle Robinson Obama’s ancestor are from Friendfield plantation in SC, which is in the same county that Jesse (Robinson*) Jackson came from.

*His biological dad was Noah Robinson.

This is a Democratic Party scandal where all the participants are Democrats.

The only fair thing to do is to appoint a Republican to the Senate seat.

I’m sure if this were a GOP scandal that’s what the Dems and their press lackeys would be saying right now...

Jesse Jackson involved in pay for play? Say it ain't so, JOE!!!
