#1 Viewers, please take a hard, long look at ~~Illinois~~ Chicago donk politics at it's very, very best. Keeping in mind of course that Obama is a product of this lovely machine.

Hang in there Rod! Keep that Illinois Police Security detail close at hand. You'll be joining Tony in coming clean duet very soon.

#2 Biden was taking about crisis in the first six months of Obama presidency. Just a bit off on time scale Joe?

#3 Biden was talking foreign issues, I think. But yeah - when a lot of people were cheering Obama on because they hated Hillary I kept worrying about the fact that he's a hard left thug who learned politics in the Chicago wards.

We are going to pay for his nomination and election in so many ways it hurts to count them.

#4 People driven by anger and hate do stupid things.

Obama is elected because of irrationality and hate. First Dems who hate the Clintons, then people who hate Bush.

It s actually that simple.

#8 The state AG wants the SC to do the heavy lifting in because she has her eye on the Gov's seat -- and as we all now know, free IL government seats are rare. The fact that it took Fed bumbler Fitzie to find fraud that the AG couldn't says something about her that some honest IL voters (but I contradict myself) may want to take note of

#9 1) The ISC should reject the request from Daddy's Girl. The proper way to remove Blago is impeachment.

2) Daddy's Girl is worried that a Republican challenger in the next gov campaign would tag her for doing nothing about Blago while she was attorney general, much the way Blago tagged his challenger in the 2002 race. That challenger was the then Repub attorney general who hadn't done anything to remove George Ryan.

#10 Come on Feds, take Blago down and let's get the Anvil Chorus singing about Crook O'Bama. Wouldn't it be great to see the "lightworker" impeached before he's six months into his term?

If this bunch of corrupt Democrat Party bastards was in some other country, I'd be laughing loudly at their stupidity. Unfortunately for America, they're here.

#11 The AG is trying to get the Illinois Supreme Court to declare Blagojevich as disabled so as to avoid an impeachment hearing. Could get messy as I'm sure Blagojevich has lots of REALLY interesting information about many of the members of the state legislature.
