Sure wish it was Rahm! That guy deserves to be frogmarched out of this country and waterboarded in a filthy prison in Egypt.

“Jackson said last month he is the subject of a House ethics probe into his contacts with ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Obama. Blagojevich faces federal charges that he tried to sell Obama’s seat. Jackson has denied wrongdoing.”

But sometimes it rolls all the way down the hill and ends up in the gutter.

He is President now; the charges won’t stick.

Nope, the socialist usurper is in our White House, but that doesn't make him our president. The Constitution is the law of the land, and obama hasn't proven that he's eligible for the job. But you're right - the charges won't stick.
