Completely agree!
I suppose the bigger they are the harder they fall. Gonna be nice to hear about this jerk sitting in prison somewhere. Sounds like the wife deserves some attention too.

So what's with this wife? I didn't hear anything about her. This guy is a major sleeze bag. Did you see O'Bama's response on TV......

I bet he was "unaware" he seems to play that card quite a bit when it comes to some of his associates. I guess he slept in the church pew for 20 years and did not have the audio turned up while listening to his preacher tapes all the years he was away and unable to attend church services.

I kept thinking today about Gary Hart telling reporters back in the '80s to go ahead and try to catch him (uh, there's nothing the press likes better than a challenge) and then having to withdraw from the presidential race when the pics of him with Donna Rice on his lap were released. Bladojevich must be just as stupid and full of hubris to basically do the same thing. "Go ahead and tape me". Pinhead politicians. Gosh, wonder why most people are so negative about government?

re: www.foxnews.com/politics/2008/12/....rging-governor/Thanks, Sequel, for posting that. I'd say it doesn't look very good for Illinois' 1st lady. Plus, toss in Tony Rezko, and it pretty much really doesn't look great for either one. If ya lie with dogs, don't be shocked when ya get up with fleas, I guess.

There has to be much more to this guy if they have been "watching" him for 4 years. Most likely he will get off on a technicality or plea bargain or by turning someone else in for something else. It is the American way.

;D ;D Good one! On a serious (?) note, I guess it goes to show it's not really an either/or, or Republican/Democrat all the time -- it boils down to the real substance of the man/woman... But political rivalry does keep it interesting.
Also interesting is that in one of the videos you can click on, on that website, it mentions him (or was it his wife) asking that O'Bama's wife be placed on a corporate board "quickly"....... *eyebrow rises*
As well as the comments about Illinois' "political mentality" that goes back to the days of Al Capone, in that if you want something then you have to "take care of something"....dirty, dirty, dirty.

If convicted, he will be the fourth or fifth IL governor to go to jail since the 70's.

(1) Otto Kerner (Democrat) - 1973, bribery, tax evasion, and charges related to accepting discounted racing stock in exchange for legislation favorable to horse racing.
(2) Dan Walker (Democrat) - 1987, bank fraud and perjury
(3) George Ryan (Republican) - 2006, corruption, arranging illegal drivers’ licenses for pay (resulting, in one instance, in a family being killed by a truck driver who would not have been on the road if not for Ryan’s illegal license program)
Looks like Rod Blagojevich (Democrat) is going to be joining Ryan in prison some time in 2009.

Everyone knows who the bad guys are, and what they're up to. The problem is the protection they receive from those sworn to uphold the law. There is Government corruption from the White House to the Dog Catchers..........As citizens we need to stand up and be counted. "Evil can only exist when good men do nothing"

So ipso facto when someone denies something he/she is a liar. No one, especially someone you might disagree with, can possibly be telling the truth. No one can evver be believed, because you say so. Yet you will belive any crud that comes out of Bush's camp. Hmmm.

You don't have to be in Bush's "camp" to dislike Obama, and to believe him a liar. You can't justify poor character by saying "He is better than Bush", or "He isn't a Republican". That is not a very high bar to be proud of jumping over.
