I thought of a couple. The fake music at the inauguration and the skipping of the Heroes ball for Medal of Honor recipients. He did go to the Neighborhood Ball, however with such upstanding citizens as Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, Sting, Mariah Carey and Leonardo DiCaprio.

So, not all was lost /s

I find it more than hilarious that Blago (a Democrat!) is throwing hand grenades at everyone in the Democratic party in a desperate effort to keep himself alive politically, or at least out of jail.

I find it funny because the reason this whole situation came about is even though Illinois is owned by Democrats and rampant corruption is tolerated here, Blago went over the line and actually succeeded in embarrassing his fellow Democrats with his extreme arrogance and obvious disregard for the law. So he had to be taken out.

Now Blago is at war with the Democratic Party and they are going all out against each other with every dirty trick in the book that used to be reserved for use on Republicans. They're trying to employ tactics of “Mutually Assured Destruction” to bluff each other out and neither side is being bluffed.

Blago is outnumbered and cannot possibly win, but he just might succeed in taking out whole legions of big name Democrats in his attempt to stay alive. At the very least, he is methodically destroying the Democratic Party here in Illinois.

Blago is the gift that keeps on giving.

"...Oh, and most of his senior staff have now been served with subpoenas..."

...And those who weren't served will be doing some sweating...

Skipping of the Heroes ball for Medal of Honor recipients was a biggie! Umm, did the media notice? /S

Christmas is over but I'll still post this graphic. Late gifts can be good..maybe we'll get some.

Blago is gonna get Vince Fostered before he can bring down any more democrats, leaving Potty-mouth Patty to bring up their girls on a minimum wage job.

“Let’s recap, shall we? In the first week, Obama has not cut taxes — the only proven way to revive the economy — despite promising to do so for “95% of working Americans” (which was almost certainly a lie, but let’s wait and see); signed an order to close Gitmo, certain to make America less safe; and promoted abortion on a global scale.

Oh, and most of his senior staff have now been served with subpoenas.”

AND...he wants to spend a lot more of our tax money supporting Planned *Parenthood* International....the most PRO-abortion group in the world.

They were supposed to swear in the WH exec. staff but it wasn’t organized—some aide talked to Joe, who made a crack about his memory not being as good as Justice Roberts (referring to botched oaf of office the day before)...HolyO
was not happy and had to bring Joe under control without looking like a fool in front of the whole world, LOL!
