Mayor Daley called Gov. Blagojevich "cuckoo" at a news conference Jan. 23, 2009, in reference to the governor's claim that state lawmakers want to get him out of the way so they can pass huge tax increases.
Responding to questions about Gov. Rod Blagojevich's claims Friday that Democratic lawmakers are trying to oust him so they can raise taxes, Mayor Richard M. Daley said the governor was "cuckoo."
He noted that he has called Blagojevich "cuckoo" once before. The earlier comment came in September, when Blagojevich questioned financial statements by the head of the Chicago Transit Authority.
"I've said 'cuckoo' once. I'll say it again," Daley said.
He chirped another "Cuckoo!" to reporters before leaving his Friday morning news conference.
Meanwhile, Blagojevich said Friday afternoon that his choice not to attend his impeachment trial in the Illinois State Senate was "not an act of defiance," but a protest against what he again characterized as a violation of constitutional civil liberties.

So does Obama vote “present”?
Libtards turn and rend a wounded member of the herd.
Daley’s statements are just part of the Democrat Party script to protect themselves by trying to portray Blagojevich as mentally unstable. Blagojevich is just the sort of individual(s) the Democrats look for to run office.
Pot, meet kettle.
ditto.
Beware of ‘cuckoo’ governors bearing subpoenas.

I was hoping he could call witnesses and make the thing a total p!ssing match. I figure he has dirt on his “jurors” and it would have been great political theatre.
