Glenn Beck's interview with Blago .. scroll to 3:50 mark.

~~~

I'd day the dear leader's put the IL politicians on notice, if they want some of the loot.

Yet the Messiah lectured House Republicans not to play partisan politics with his economic stimulus package.

Am I wrong to make a connection to Khrushchev pounding his loafer on the UN’s podium and saying (at some point in time) that ‘We will bury you from within’! (?)

Reminds me of Carter Type Micromanagement, but done with a Chicago thug flavor.

Isn't this an unconstitutional 'Bill of Attainder' when the law is written to invoke penalties towards a specific person?

Not that our government pays too much attention to the Constitution these days ...

So it really is NOT wrong or illegal to pay to play. I think they trumped up charges on poor Blago cause he was playing too much and wanted more than somebody wanted to pay. (partial sarcasm)

So, can the entire bill be challenged in court based upon this one small portion? As this seems like a very drastic violation of the separation of powers in regards to federal vs. state issues.

Just..well, a random thought, since it seems like there’s nothing else out there to stop this mad spending. Stimulus plan...Pork USA is what it should be entitled, as there’s precious little in it that’ll work for the economy, only benefit the government in the end.

Can you list Arnold Schwarzenegger, David Whathisname in NY and Jon Corzine to that list???

I’ll all for blacklisting pork to particular states and Illinois should always be on that list as far as I’m concerned.

According to CNN the bill includes a provision added by the House Appropriations Committee that would

withhold funds from the state of Illinois "unless the Legislature directs how it will be spent, or until 'Rod R. Blagojevich no longer holds the office of governor of the state of Illinois.'"

Mugabe tactics.

Blago’s real crime was he embarrassed the Dear One. Let’s see if he lives long.
