SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 09:59 AM by ChairmanAgnostic
Sorry. But MSM is showing video of Gov. Blago DRIVING from chicago to springpatch to testify in his impeachment trial.

Of all the sorry, sad, stupid, stories MSM has covered. A DRIVE through some of the flattest, most boring farm land in America? They don't call them the grate plains for nothing.

Hey, MSM, are you analyzing transcripts of Blago? Are you describing the possible indictments? Are you researching whether his father in law was right in claiming that Blago was selling state offices for 40K donations? Or his behavior last year during the special session he called to get a budget passed? How his games cost Illinois billions in matching federal funds? Or his penchant for . . .

But, to show his drive to springpatch . . THAT'S THE STORY? shame on you.

3. It'll All Be Over Soon...
The Blago Circus comes to an end later this afternoon when he's convicted and Pat Quinn becomes Governor. The next time we'll hear about this dude will be when Fitz gets the indictments and his trial gets underway.

I'm expecting the "Full Queeg" this afternoon...Blago doing his swan song of delusion. He was either misunderstood or was kidding or did it for all the "right reasons"...the drama befitting the cables.

While his arrest was what got this impeachment ball rolling, it wasn't selling the Senate seat that brought this thing to a head...it was his abuse of power as you mention above. The voters and legislators of Illinois know this...why his impeachment was so overwhelming and why his conviction is all but assured. Enough is enough.

5. Yeah, What KT Said
He made so many enemies for reasons that didn't benefit any citizen of IL, except for Rod Blago. When it's all about him and it rubs people the wrong way, the fall will just be that much higher velocity.

And it ain't the falling that's so bad! It's the landing.

4. Come on. There are many burning issues to be covered:
Is he using his turn signal?
Is he buckled up?
Did he merge properly?
