Blago: Fire Rahm (Blago pushes back and sends a warning shot of the cards he will play)

"he's going down swinging, with a call to fire Rahm Emanuel for being as guilty as he -- according to a theory under which he is being impeached for fighting for citizens right to cheap prescription drugs.

Lawmakers should “demand that President Obama fire Rahm Emanuel” because favored the program. "

[OKSooner]

FREE BLAGO!!!

[KarlInOhio]

He will (if he lives), but as part of a deal with Fitzmass.

No deal with Fitzgerald. This case was sprung before all the evidence was in just to make sure that no one higher up was caught. Blagojevich is as high up the chain as Fitzgerald dared to go.

[rod1]

Yep. Not to mention the N & S attacks (refined to the max by the Clintons) don’t work as well on someone who everybody already knows is certifiable.

[autumnraine]

I can’t believe I am starting to support Blago.

[chiefqc]

Time to buy more beer, popcorn and watch the soap opera thats about to start.

When you play with skunks you’ll end up smelling also.

[varina davis]

I think a lot of politicians just wanted Blago to fall on his sword for them and he’s about to turn that sword on them. He’s probably guilty of the charges, but likely no more than dozens more who are being protected by the MSM.

[The Duke]

"Blago will not go down alone."

Ah, the ol' Ron Brown approach. He probably ought cancel any travel plans, or plans to walk through Ft. Marcy Park at midnight.

[SueRae]

Fire Rahm? I must say I agree (but Obambi would be completely lost without his mouthpiece)

[Political Junkie Too]

Probably. And I'm wondering if Fitzgerald is waiting for Blago to be out of office, so he doesn't have some kind of Executive Privilege to hide behind.

[freeplancer]

Great, this tool will get a book deal.

[pingman]

Mmmmmmmmmm! Popcorn!

[freekitty]

Please continue, Blago.

[freekitty]

Why is Politico printing all of this? Every time I go through threads on FR; they are usually source Politico?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Take them down with you Blago!.....Don’t go alone!

[cookcounty]

"Dennis miller thinks all politicians are like this guy. only Blago uses dirtier language in his phone conversations."

Trust me, all politicians in Illinois ARE like this guy, At least, most of them. It would not shock me in the slightest to find this leading to Obama.

[classified]

I’m also wondering if Blago managed to tape all of his conversations with politicians over the past years? That would be really great if he had better tapes than Fitzgerald!

[Antoninus]

He is very dangerous. He is on tape letting everyone know how politicians do business. And now he is talking about it.

Pray for him. He could be God's instrument for bringing down a whole satanic house of cards. If so, he's going to need forgiveness and superhuman strength of will.

[Secret Agent Man]

No kidding. PLease name names, we’ll get to all of you in due time.

[expatpat]

Don't be too sure.

The SOP is to nail someone lower down, turn them and get their cooperation so as to go up the tree. Remember the case against the "plumbers" was sprung long before Nixon's buddies went down.
