Just a happy coincidence. Kismet.

Politics Chicago style.

[MPJackal]

BO seems to be getting more and more confident each day that he can do what ever he wants. Fire AG’s investigating his friends, hide EPA reports that could harm his Gorebull warming scam, and political appointees that are paybacks. Not to mention paybacks to the auto workers union and acorn.

Good grief....

And selective meddling in other countries internal affairs...see this:

And doing nothing to help the people of Iran....

Remember Michael Powell? Son of General Colin Powell? Michael was named to the FCC under Bill Clinton, and then named FCC Chairman under Pres Bush. Michael Powell came to the front pages when he had to address the issue of Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” during the Superbowl in 2004.

So, what’s the point? Let’s not complain too much because both parties seem to use this FCC post as a political favor.

>> Remember Michael Powell? Son of General Colin Powell? Michael was named to the FCC under Bill Clinton, and then named FCC Chairman under Pres Bush.

Yup. And those in the industry said he didn’t know s..t from Shinola. The FCC, once a bastion of well-educated electrical engineers, now is for the most part filled with lawyers and accountants focused on enriching the government’s coffers. No change with this latest political turkey.

He just wanted to see all the frames .....one by one!

"Good grief...."....Charlie Brown!
Zero will reward as many of his friends as he possibly can get away with. Expect a huge deficiency in major federal functions as time goes by as more clowns are given positions of power.

....”As in filet???”

exactly!...isn’t that classic.

[upchuck]

Thanks for pinging.

[elcid1970]

James Clyburn has believed for some years now that the old master-slave relationship in South Carolina has been reversed, and that politically empowered blacks are now the rulers over outnumbered hapless white voters.

The “James C. Clyburn Memorial Overpass” which confronts any Interstate traveler into the capital city, or the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” in the eastern Lowcountry, are mute evidence to Clyburn’s localized megalomania.

[SunkenCiv]

In all fairness, he probably wanted to find someone guilty of tax evasion, and had already hired them all for other positions.

[SC Swamp Fox]

They didn't build that bridge, did they?

<heavy sigh>It's probably in the stimulus bill.
