Feds take [Illinois] Gov. Blagojevich into custody

[Gin and Tonic Sky]

Can I say what a Beautiful Day it is or is this the wrong thread?

Wrong thread, its not a beautiful day when anyone makes a mockery out us whether they are donkeys, elephants or independants and irregardless of whether we agree or disagree with em....

I think he meant its a beautiful day because the rat bastard got caught.

True that part is good...

[Rockindeano]

Fact Finder. I am all the way behind you on this. Hang the bastards. All of them, regardless of which side of the rug their on.

Scumbags.

However, your wet dream might dry up, as Obama has nothing to do with the scam.

Rats flee the sinking ship....

CHICAGO (AP) -- A spokeswoman for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says one of his top aides has resigned.

Spokeswoman Kelley Quinn on Wednesday said Deputy Gov. Bob Greenlee resigned. The reason for his resignation wasn't immediately clear.

Greenlee's resignation comes a day after Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges.

Greenlee was promoted to be a top aide to Blagojevich in June, replacing former Deputy Governor Sheila Nix. Greenlee had been a top administration aide previously.

State records indicate the 33-year-old Greenlee lives in Chicago and earned $149,000 a year.

I'm sure it's to spend more time with his family...

Someone knows he got caught in a fib.

WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama on Wednesday joined others calling for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to resign, distancing himself further from the unfolding scandal over allegations that the governor schemed to barter Obama's vacant Senate seat for personal gain

Dude, take your humbling loss like a man. The GOP got throttled. Wouldl have been just as bad if Hillary were the nominee.

Now, this is great. Blagojackoff told Obama to go fuck himself.

Obama said he should step down. Jackoff says, "um, no." Wow. Dude has some serious balls or serious issues to be sure.

[johnroxx]

YEAH...seeing Sir Deano's av again brings a serious warmth to my tired ol' heart.

Good to see ya, brother!

What is completely unforgivable is that Bush has not and will not even consider pardoning former border agents Ramos and Compean. Something really stinks in that whole situation.

for real? i didn't know anything about this. those to agents should be pardoned.... their trial was a joke, it was all about the victim's ( i use that term loosely) rights, nothing about his record or his possession of drugs with intent to sell, etc.... absolutely disgusting.

Absolutely. I agree wholeheartedly.

I wrote a blog entry about this yesterday...

Basically, the government has changed their story, flat-out lied, and covered up evidence, all because, in my opinion, they want to smooth things over with the Mexican government at the expense of two border agents who didn't deserve the lengthy sentence they were given.

The Big O has scheduled for a press confrence this morning. I can't wait to see how he responds to questions re Blago. Let's see if he clams up or not.

Ooooh I can't wait for this.
I still can't believe that little troll hasn't resigned.

He's redefined the term goobernatorial.

[strangegrey]

The GOP got throttled. Would have been just as bad if Hillary were the nominee.

It would have been worse. much worse. I'm positive that Hilary could have taken a few more red states away from DisDain than Obama was able to do...simply because there were enough rednecks in those states that would have voted democrat if there was a whitey on the top of the ticket...

[Tito]

I love this picture the Sun Times took. LOL

[Rockindeano]

I wonder why The Big O is so keen to get out of Chi-town and on down to DC in such a hurry....

I hear Chicago is nice and hot this time of year.

An Obama rejection ...
President-elect Barack Obama just got nixed!

Sneed hears the White House has rejected a recent request by Obama to occupy Blair House, the president-elect's Washington residence, at an earlier date.

• • To wit: Sneed hears Obama wanted to move his family and his transition team to Blair House, which is across from the White House, nearly two weeks before the president-elect historically moves there on Jan. 15 -- five days before the inaugural.

• • The backshot: A source tells Sneed: "There were reportedly two reasons for the request: Obama's children start school in early January -- and the move could be interpreted as a New Year's symbolic gesture showing the president-elect in a presidential capacity across from the White House on Jan. 2, the day after New Year's Day."

• • The buckshot: Blair House, the president's guest house for visiting dignitaries, nixed the request. "It was a polite rejection," the source added. "But I'm told Blair House was appalled."

I don't understand why you would openly cheer because The White House denied Obama a place to live? Are you UN American? This is just juvenile on your part. The Chicago governor mess is one thing and just, but you "loving this" about Bush immaturity is rather childish. The majority of this country wishes like Hell Obama could start tomorrow morning rather than wait a month and a half.

Enjoy your 4 years or more out of power. Well, not completely out of power, you can still filibuster.

The Chicago governor

I'm going to let you figure out what's wrong with that phrase, and get back to me.

[Rockindeano]

and Bush needs Blair House to house his invited guests as is his right as POTUS until he leaves Jan 20th.

LOL, invited guests? Dude, wake up already? All foreign dignitaries want to meet Obama, NOT Bush. Bush isn't going to invite any guests over the Holiday period anyway.

You knock yourself out there bud, but we are just fine over here on the side of the fence that matters. Fuck, I at least gave Bush a fair chance after he was "elected" in 2000; sadly, you can't do the same thing.

Is he the Governor of Grant Park, Illinois?

Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel ducks reporters' questions

BY FRAN SPIELMAN AND ABDON M. PALLASCH Staff Reporters
President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, refused to take questions from reporters this morning about whether he was the Obama “advisor” named in the criminal complaint against Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The complaint states Blagojevich wanted a promise of a high-level appointment or some other reward for Blagojevich in exchange for Blagojevich naming Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett to replace him in the U.S. Senate.

Emanuel was uncharacteristically absent from Obama’s news conference this morning. He was spotted two hours late in the lobby of Chicago’s City Hall. He was there to listen to his two children performing in a concert with their school, Anshe Emet.

A Sun-Times reporter pressed him to comment about whether he was the emissary named in the criminal complaint.

“You’re wasting your time,” Emanuel said. “I’m not going to say a word to you. I’m going to do this with my children. Dont do that. I’m a father. I have two kids. I’m not going to do it.”

Asked, “Can’t you do both?” Emanuel replied, “I’m not as capable as you. I’m going to be a father. I’m allowed to be a father,” and he pushed the reporter’s digital recorder away.

Blagojevch was caught on tape saying that he wanted the Obama advisor in question to know what Blagojevich wanted in exchange for the Jarrett appointmenr.

Blagojevich said, “He asks me for the fifth CD thing, I want it to be in his head.” Emanuel represents the 5th Congressional District in Illinois.

No one in the Obama campaign or administration has been charged with any wrongdoing. Obama said this morning that none of his staff has had a hand in any dealmaking on his Senate replacement.

Ok. If a plane crashes right smack on the border of Utah and Texas, in which state are the survivors buried?

Yes, we all know Texas and Utah don't border, and you don't bury survivors.

Give it a rest FF. We had a thread already for this crap that lasted 469 pages. You lost, I won, end of story. Hit me back in 30 months as the mid terms rev up. We can cut each other's heads off then, but until that time period, I don't have to defend or fight politics.

[The_Noble_Cause]

I hope you guys remember the outcry when Bush fired those 2 Prosecutors.

Try 7.
Many outspoken Conservatives, like Davig Iglesias.
You really are a felch gargling whore, FF.
You seem to revel in the Tom Delay, Karl Rove wing of your party.
