“Here’s my card.” (click pic for card-visible largeness)
Because this now officially an “All Clowns on Deck!” freak show, Ringmaster Rod alone on stage is not enough.
And Roland the Hapless
is not enough.
No, for a truly Big City carnival of the absurd, you also need Congressman Bobby Rush -- looking terribly ill -- to suddenly appear out of left field, mount the stage as the wheels started to come off today’s pressers and start lobbing around one incredibly incendiary remark after another along the lines of...
1. He prayed for this, so I guess we can infer that he, God and the Democratic machine are all Twitter buddies.
2. In case you hadn't noticed, there are no African Americans in the mutherfuckin US Senate.
3. I mutherfuckin double dog dare theOld White Guy ClubUS Senate to deny an African American a seat.
4. We shouldn’t "lynch" Roland Burris. Lynch.
5. Oh, and in case you forgot from when I mentioned it 45 seconds ago, there are no African Americans in the US Senate.
If the Obama campaign was the best of what we are, this is some of the worst.
No subtle hints or dog-whistles or code needed here, my friends; just raw, smashmouth, race-baiting Chicago politics at its crudest.

All of which might have come across as slightly more credible were it not for the Blindingly Obvious Fact that this whole drama has been cold-bloodedly engineered by one man for the sole purpose trying to improve his odds of political survival.
And of course, no circus would be complete
without tumblers...
From the Daily Herald:
...
First, the state of Illinois, through Secretary of State Jesse White, must certify that an appointment has been made, said Joe Shoemaker, spokesman for U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. White said Tuesday he will not certify the appointment.
But White's certification is mostly a ministerial function, noted Dean Harold Krent of the IIT Chicago Kent College of Law.
"Here, it seems like there is no ground not to certify except for his (White's) own discretion that there is a cloud" over Blagojevich, said Krent. "It's probably unlawful" not to certify, he added.
...
By grabbing the biggest, ugliest Molotov cocktail he can lay his hands on and lobbing into the mix, Governor Shakedown has now made it perfectly clear that he is willing to use his office to create chaos.
UPDATE: Nice to know the NYT concurs.
...
Mr. Blagojevich shows every sign of feeding off the chaos he has created through his crass rantings about his appointment power. The many problems of Illinois cannot be addressed so long as Mr. Blagojevich remains governor. The state’s Senate seat cannot be filled fairly by such a discredited blowhard.
So look out, baby
'cause here...we...go.

weird tongue action at :44.... ew.
This fuckin' Blagojevich has more fucking balls than an entire herd of rogue male elephants.
What a colossal fucking idiot.
I can't hardly BELIEVE the stupid bastard thinks he is going to pull this out of his ass.
He is about to get his ass handed to him inside out on a silver platter.
I don't know Jack Shit about Chicago politics but I certainly recognize a Double Dog Dare.
So be it asshole, here comes the pounding you are asking for.
This guy is a real piece of work.
When they get done with this Dickhead he will be lucky if they let him out, ever.
By the way, it is a good thing you put yer handle on that opening Photoshop. That fucker is awesome and I can see that getting swiped yesterday.
Nicely done.
Thanks you, sir.
Ok, it's time to let Illinois, sans ChiTown, and all its pols (yes, those from ChiTown) just secede and relocate to Missippi, Georgia and Alabama.
The Land Of Lincoln has just plainly lost any shred of hope of playing nice with the rest of the states up North of Mason/Dixon.
And if they won't secede, we need to 'relocate' them all.
This is all insane. It's pure USSR in the 80's.
They're all crooks, they're all mobbed up to one crime syndicate of another.
ENOUGH!!!!
Send them to the swamps down south and let the gators and swamp grannies have their way with them.
Again, congrats Drifty, on the WebLog Nom. May you snark long and prosper. *G*
Is this political sweeps week? Did Illinois feel the need for more attention even with it's own Senator stepping into the Presidency?
Serious popcorn munching material.
Blago is a mad dog. And his enabler, Bobby Rush, is a jealous old fart. When do these pointless losers' fifteen minutes end?
Over here in PA we had a similar politician, who proclaimed his innocence in front of the MSM with a slightly different approach than
Gov. Blagojevich his name was Budd Dwyer.
Congratulations on the WebBlog nomination!
Your taste for the ironic is second to none.
I like to think of it as Rod Blagojevich strapping on Roland Burris like a big BLACK Dildo, and using him to try to ass-ream the democratic party.
Another one:
Hookers-r-us...Blago and Burris, Inc.
Just to save a little bandwidth here, the only people who want to see someone appointed by Blago sitting in the Senate, are smart republicans and stupid democrats.
I also think that it was Obama's best moment since the election, when he dissed this move by Blago.
He could have copped out with "I don't want to comment on a situation where litigation might be pending." Or somesuch. But he didn't.
Kudos; big guy. :o)
