This is turning out to be a not so bad day, eh!
Word is that Blago was looking for a number of things, including an ambassador posting. Can’t do that without the okay of the big zero himself.
Illinois Governor Arrested By Federal Agents...
Probe widens to vacant senate seat...
'A fu**ing valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing'...
Wiretaps: 'I Want To Make Money'...
Gov. Blago calls Obama 'motherfu**er'...
MERRY FITZMAS: Plame Leak Prosecutor Turns Attention on Obama's Home State...
'The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering'...
GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS ISSUED ON REZKO/OBAMA LAND DEAL...
Once again you were great on F & F ! It is such an important topic that so many parents have no clue about.
Thanks! Always fun to talk to Doocey.
heard ya on XM, as i was in the car! good job!
Good Thursday morning, ya’ll.
Closer and closer to Christmas. ;)
LOL. The F&F people keep calling him Fitzpatrick.
Can’t the guy get some respect?
FITZGERALD, IT’S FITZGERALD!
LOL, Steve just mentioned that Barack changed his pronouns in mid sentence from "We have not had contact, to I have not had contact...."
Good catch, Steve.
Byron York is having a busy morning. First F&F and next Bill Bennett.
This was squahed by the Chicago newspapers so Jackson would not get implicated.
Unfortunately it looks like daddy may have made the offer before the word got out on the investigation.
We all know that Barky Obama is as dirty as a mud puddle, just like all those around him and the old Clintonistas he is dragging back into government...
but I did not anticipate that things like this would start to surface BEFORE they could even get the guy inaugurated.
LOL. A new kind of politics, eh!
If Mrs. Barky was so well taken care of, why not Mrs. Blago...
“ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he needs to find a way to take the “financial stress” off of his family and that his wife is as qualified or more qualified than another specifically named individual to sit on corporate boards.
No Quarters explained:
The “specifically named individual” is Michelle Obama, who was appointed to the Board of TreeHouse Foods, a WAL-MART vendor, on June 25, 2005, even though she did not have experience in the private sector previous to the appointment. Here are the benefits the Obama family received as a result of Michelle Obama’s stint with the WAL-MART vendor:
According to the couple’s tax returns, Mrs Obama earned $51,200 (£25,700) for her work as a non-executive director on Treehouse’s board last year, on top of the $271,618 salary she was paid as a vice-president of the University of Chicago Hospitals.
She also received 7,500 Treehouse stock options, worth a further $72,375, as she did the previous year, when she banked a $45,000 salary from the company.
Not a bad haul for Michelle O, huh?”

LOL. Bill Bennett is playing “Chicago is my kind of town.”
The media has spent 8 years trying to create scandals where there were none. Now they will have to spend the next 4 (please don’t put us through this for 8) covering them up.
Bob Bennett knows Fitz somewhat and says this story will be with us for a long time and that he has lots more evidence than he has shown us.
*rubbing hands*
Mike Barnicle was doing his part on Mourning Joe. I was listening to see if the MSNBC news babe at 5:30 would mention that Blagojevich was a (D) DEMOCRAT. I guess she forgot. She never fails to remind us if it's a (R) REPUBLICAN is trouble.
Brian on FNFs was trying to make a point that yes Obama did meet with Blagojevich because of this recent governors conference. Gretchen thought that was a stretch and so do I. But who knows what Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald knows. LOL
Are there 2 Jesse Jackson Jr.s? I didn't recognize this one.
I thought this an important piece of news Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Not Interested in 2012 Presidential Run. Kind of narrows the field already.
Guess GM will not be building any cars in Jan.
Guess the taxpayers in the US will be paying for my uneployemet, and fanfan and Mr. fanfan will be paying for others in Canada.
This (I cannot say).
Merry *(&)( Xmas)
I imagine relocating down south where the foreign auto plants are isn't an option. I know it isn't for us. All our family is here. Fixing Detroit isn't going to be easy but apparently Pres. Bush is going to do something. Wish he had another year. I trust him more than Obama to resolve this.
Try to have some happy holidays. Family and friends will still be there. And we'll always be here for you. Don't be a stranger.
Finally, something I don't mind paying for.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Enjoy your family. This too shall pass.
