He has an impressive resume and career - but wait, how can that be? Blacks in America don’t have any opportunity for education or career advancement.. or so we’ve been told.

He’s actually more experienced than Obama was.

Not that it takes a lot.

And how does that square with Harry the body’s statement that the senate will NOT seat Blago’s choice.

Blago's lawyers can't be cheap. You can bet the money trail is well hidden, though.

Now we know who is paying for Blago’s expensive attorney.

Smart move. If the senate doesn’t accept the appointment, they’ll be racists.

I feel sorry for the guy. There will always be a cloud over his head.

WLS had the Sec or State Jesse White (a good guy by many standards) about a week ago who said his office would have to certify any appointment (not clear on his power) and that he would not certify anyone that Blogo appointed.

Blago may not be a Nancy Boy, but he sure looks like one with his pretty hair. He wants badly to stay out of prison and is playing his cards carefully to make the Democrat party look like a bunch of cowards, hypocrites and double-talkers. Not that it is that difficult, because that's the fact, Jack. It is going to be fun seeing them either rolling over to keep a lid on things or turning on each other. I am betting on the former at this point.

Blago is going to play them like a violin and the enemedia is going to anesthetize the sheeple to get them tired of the whole thing until it goes away, just like Monicagate. Count on it.
