Edited on Fri Jan-09-09 04:06 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
That was some OLD-school hardball politics... real 1930s stuff. "If curing breast cancer is a crime then count me guilty!"

Actually bringing along a guy in a wheel-chair? Classic.

All I could think of was Huey Long, another corrupt, demagogic political-natural "friend of the common man."

This guy really is talented.

Too bad he's unfit for the office he holds.

(This is in reference to today's lively Blago press appearance.)

2. Now you understand how he defeated the corrupt Republican
State Treasurer in 2006, even though everybody in Illinois knew Blago was as crooked as a river road.

3. Yeah he might have even had a chance before cable to pull it off

However it is pretty devistating to watch it on CNN when all of the smart ass comments are being twittered on the scroll below him lol

I have always hatted the twitter stuff but that was pretty funny.

5. Unfortunately, what he said rings true,
and what Fitz said does not. Funny how the media is playing up Fitz's bag of wind.

6. I don't know if he's guilty or not, but I do know Fitz is guilty as hell.
Guilty of loving to see his face on camera.

Guilty of always talking more than he should.

Guilty of acting sanctimonious, when he's not.

Guilty of being a useful idiot for Bush and Cheney.

He blew a big case, and walked off with his tail between his legs. He is literally a coward.
