Anyone else cheering for Blago?

[Cooked Crack]

He provides so much entertainment. It's like watching a bad guy in the movies. You can't help but to cheer for him. The guy has alot of balls. Holding news conferences with the backdrop of sick people and claiming your opponents want to impeach you because you help the sick and the poor. Appointing a Senator after being told your appointee wouldn't be seated. Comparing yourself to Nelson Mandala, Ghandi, and MLK. Hell saying you being arrested was like Pearl Harbor for your family. Now he was considering appointing Oprah to the Senate? This guy is made of gold. I just dont understand how he can keep a straight face through all of this.

With that said I'm glad he isn't my governor and will be out of a job soon.

[Predicto]

The best part is doing all this while blowing off your own impeachment trial that just started in Springfield. Dude has chutspah, that's for sure.

[Thiebear]

Until he is at least indicted or convicted of something?
I'm hoping this passes to Congress and the Senate and other Governors.

If you had a conversation about a criminal intent: your out of office.

Thats a precedent I have no problem with.

[Chief skin]

hes a desperate scum bag who figures he has nothing to lose. HE IS PATHETIC

[zoony]

He looks like the Geico Caveman. So yah, for that reason alone I'm pulling for him

Which Governor Is Wackier?

I love Blago.
I love his beady little eyes. I love his Serbian shock of hair. I love his flaring nostrils. I love the way he jogs through the snow under indictment, like a stork in spandex trying to gallop. I love the way he compares himself in quick order to Pearl Harbor, Oliver Wendell Holmes and a dead cowboy.

I love the hurly-burly way the Illinois governor rammed through his choice for the Senate, compared with the namby-pamby way the New York governor strangled his best choice for the Senate.

That's gold right there. Full column at link.

Video of him on The View today:

Lol at those women badgering him for the Nixon impression.

For sheer entertainment value alone you have to love the guy. What a trainwreck he is to Chicago politics (as if they could get any worse).
What's with the Bob's Big Boy haircut ?

I think the View chicks were pretty easy on him. I wonder how they would've acted if he had an (R) in front of his name.

:rolleyes:

Whining about "The View" now? You've sunk to an all-time low.

:rolleyes:

ummm... why do you think he chose the View? He wanted a puffball piece and that's what they do. I actually saw this at the gym and thought from the tele-captioning that he was getting frustrated and kept repeating the same line over and over again.

Walters basically told him that his argument held no wait because of Ill criminal law and that he was wasting her time.

Can't we all just come together and make fun of a crazy person together?

I mean seriously, if we can't have a good time making fun of Blago in a thread, then what can we do?

[China]

He's way out of control. Even his lawyer won't have anything to do with him and quit.

I'm just waiting for him to be arrested in a hot tub with hookers and blow.

And then he'll compare the experience to the Battle of Gettysburg.

[Larry]

They had Fox News on the TVs when I took Mom to lunch.

Of course, Fox is 100% pulling for the guy. (Shocking, huh?)

But I do think they raised some really interesting points. (Assuming that what Fox said was actually true.)

For example, according to Fox, he's not being impeached for bribery. In fact, the impeachment rules supposedly prohibit either side from mentioning the tapes, or the Senate seat, or anything to do with it.

(I get the impression they're doing that because they don't want the impeachment to step on the Fed's bribery case against the guy. They didn't actually say that, but I can't invent any other imaginary reason.)

Supposedly, what he's officially being impeached for is for importing drugs from Canada to get around the drug lobby. (And, supposedly, other things like that.)

Assuming that's true, then I do have to say that the term that applies to this impeachment starts with "cluster".

[Special K]

You know, I will kind of miss this man's insane antics and verbal comparisons when he gets put away. He is quite the entertaining lunatic.



And then he'll compare the experience to the Battle of Gettysburg.

I'll put my money on him then yelling out "the ***** set me up!!"

By the by...Nice "Killer Angels" reference ;)

[USS Redskins]

He is another Political POS.
Illinois is a hotbed of Political kickbacks, trickery and shenanigans.
I hope to god we never elect anyone from that state to higher office.

[zoony]

And then he'll compare the experience to the Battle of Gettysburg.

:rotflmao:

I heard him on Larry King tonight in the car comparing his arrest to people like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King.

(wish I was kidding)

Is Blago the coach of the high school girls team that ran up the score 100-0?

[HogNose]

You mean this guy? Go Blago, Go!

whoops.

I hope obama owns all of them and discards his corrupt cronies. That will make for a good term. Illinois politics needs to stay in Illinois.

[Burgold]

No, I think that Blago is the third hobbit. You know Bilbo, Frodo, and Blago. I think Blago found this ring and it corrupted him and he hardly remembers what it's like to be a hobbit anymore. He sometimes makes this weird sound at the back of his throat too. I wonder if the nickname will become his true name and Blago will be forgotten?

[Drop]

cheering for a major douche like Blago? Sorry, can't say I am.

[Thiebear]

All this time: Anyone know what he's been convicted of?
or even have evidence of? Such a high profile case and all i've heard is we need a few more months to get evidence.

Seems he should have the same rights as the people in Gitmo.

[HogNose]

It was a joke ;)

:doh1: It was late. :doh:

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

see ya Blagojedouche. Glad to finally be rid of him. The stuff that's been made public of him is only the tip of the iceberg. I work for the state. I see what has happened. You wanna be a warden? $2500 payoff will get you one. Director of an agency? It'll cost you $10k, but will pay you $120-130k/year. Nice investment. See ya beotch.

Senate voted 59-0 to remove the bum
