The Govenor

[4 t 4]

of Illinois is getting screwed. Why does Fitz need an extra 90 days. Discuss amongst yourselves

1. I have no opion on the matter

but I do wonder what he has tattooed on his forehead... Anyone know?

[terisan]

2. I thought Fitz got a lot of new info from scared pols after the arrest of Blagojevich

and told judge he needed more time to investigate the info.

5. Well sure, that's what a SANE person would say. But it's so much more fun to make up stories.

I think it's because Fitzgerald secretly wants to bring down the entire Illinois Democratic party and he's been working for Rove for years and he has a secret hideout where he throws darts at pictures of Obama's face and sticks pins in his Rahm Emanuel voodoo doll.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate, right?

6. Ah, you made me laugh, thanks. nt

3. How can iIlinois impeach if he hasn't been convicted.

[stillcool]

4. You can get impeached for anything...

unless you're a Republican.

[Mz Pip]

7. Impeachment comes first

Then the trial.

Then the vote to convict or acquit.

8. I didn't like Fitz's timing.

If Blago was selling the Senate seat, why not let the deal go through and arrest both parties? Then he wouldn't need any extra ninety days to gather evidence.

Also, he has some pretty solid evidence from two hospitals about Blago's pay for play scheming. At least that is what we are reading.

Fitz produced very little out of the whole Plame affair. Why only Scooter Libby? And why did Rove testify five times, and we know so little about it? Five times? I am sure Rove was lying.

Fitz serves at the pleasure of the attorney general. I have never thought he was overtly political, but he is a republican. Fitz will have to be allowed to keep his job. How could anyone in the Obama administration replace him now? It would look like Obama was trying to protect Illinois politicians who may have had something to do with the sale of the Senate seat, or with some of the other dirty things Blago may be guilty of. There are some people who have gone to Washington with Obama's administration who could be tainted by the replacement of Fitz, even if they did nothing wrong.

Blago is a smart politician. He may never serve a day in jail. But is Fitz smarter? What is going on here? Who is behind the scenes? What is their party affiliation? Does it matter?

9. You need to learn some spelling and grammar.

The correct sentence would be

"The Govenor of Illinois is screwn."

10. It's not nice to cast asparagus unless your series...
