Holy shit, Blago is so full of shit.

[originalpckelly]

:rofl:

Completely ignoring the real reasons he is being impeached.

[originalpckelly]

1. He has the biggest tiny balls of any weasel in American history.

[Warpy]

8. They might be tiny, but they're pure brass

I'm with Dean. I appreciate chutzpah.

This is an artistic performance. It will also make people even more willing to throw him into the slammer.

[originalpckelly]

16. We must end flouridation in our drinking water Mandrake!

POE!

[Fuzz]

2. I was gonna post a thread calling him a dick, but this thread is fine.

[ErinBerin84]

3. Why does the House hate him? He just wants to prevent breast cancer!

Haha.

[originalpckelly]

7. I know, he's like Mother Teresa with a dick.

And very huge tiny balls.

[Parker CA]

4. What in the world is this fool spouting off about?

This man is completely delusional. Absolutely ignoring the true reason he has been impeached. He is a sociopath.

[ErinBerin84]

5. oooh

the "extras" on the set are people who he has helped with health care intiatives! This is so weird...

[cali]

6. the word surreal fits his presser

he's blathering on about how he helped people get pharmaceuticals and how that's not an impeachable offense.

The guy is completely nutso.

[originalpckelly]

11. Now talking about Purity Of Essence.

:rofl:

We must prevent these commies from poisoning our drinking water, Mandrake.

[skorpo]

9. What a POS. He should be resigning. N/T

[DS1]

10. Shit!

[ErinBerin84]

12. he got someone a liver.

or something.....

He's saved lives, which is NOT an impeachable offense!

[LiberalHeart]

13. Will he distribute pink ribbons today?

[originalpckelly]

14. Blago shows how politicians use the issues of our lives to save their asses...

Blago is an obvious case, others are not.

[ErinBerin84]

15. and now for some British poetry.

[originalpckelly]

Holy shit, you cannot make this stuff up.

:rofl:

[Fuzz]

24. Lol

[blogslut]

17. Ain't he a hoot?

So, this means he's gonna fight this impeachment thingy?

[originalpckelly]

22. Just like he's fighting cancer and foreclosure.

He's been known to shrink himself down and jump into a woman's breast and rip the cancer out with his bare hands.

[Dawgs]

18. You're right. This guy is nuts.

:wtf:

[cali]

19. oh. my. dog.

this sooo beats tricky dick's cloth coat speech.

[cali]

20. Tennyson? Really? shit, the fucker is insane.

[spanone]

21. this guy is completely out of his fucking mind....no questions

[cali]

26. Pressured speech, grandiose, hmm.

in a manic cycle?

[ErinBerin84]

23. for the next press conference

his quote should be "I shot the sheriff, but I DID NOT shoot the deputy!"

[originalpckelly]

25. Dick Sanchez on CNN: "What the hell is he talking about?"

:rofl:

[cali]

29. Rick was just flabberghasted.

but then so are we.

[LiberalHeart]

33. Rick has a good BS detector and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.

[wryter2000]

37. He doesn't need a detector

Just ears.

[LiberalHeart]

72. I meant in general, not this situation. This one's a gimme.

[wryter2000]

35. DUzy!

:rofl:

JeffR shall hear of this.

[wryter2000]

27. Pretty impressive

Is there an Olympic BS slinging event?

[originalpckelly]

34. Blago is definitely the Michael Phelps of BS slinging.

[Subdivisions]

28. That was bizarre. n/t

[Beetwasher]

30. In His Next Press Conference He's Going To Swallow A Piano While Juggling 4 Cadillacs

n/t

[Lex]

31. What did he say? I missed it.

:shrug:

[LiberalHeart]

38. He said he's curing cancer, getting people livers, and stopping foreclosures.

Or something like that.

[Lex]

43. LOL.

Sounds :crazy:

[originalpckelly]

46. And that's the reason they're impeaching him.

You can't make this shit up, the man is batshit crazy.

[LiberalHeart]

73. Oh, yeah. I forgot that and it was the most important part.

[originalpckelly]

39. Remember Doctor Strangelove? With that Colonel Jack D. Ripper...

He basically gave speech that could have come out of that character's mouth. It was just that nonsensical and insane.

[Lex]

42. Thanks, I'll bet KO will have it tonight too.

Looking forward to seeing it.

[cali]

40. Well, he went on and on about all these great things he's done

and after each one, he rhetorically asked if that's an impeachable offense. Then he closed talking about his parents followed by a Tennyson poem.

[Lex]

Sounds like performance art!

:rofl:

[Scooter24]

47. He pretty much tried to drag the entire Illinois House through the mud

in his "defense"

He went on and on about how the House was impeaching him because they didn't approve of his legislation. Lots of rhetoric, no substance.

Then quoted a famous British poet. He also had a man in a wheelchair and a single mother with a crying baby behind him as well.

Not a word about his actions on why the House really did impeach him.

[Pirate Smile]

32. He has been impeached because he wants to help the little people get health-care.

Damn those bastards!

:rofl:

[Scooter24]

36. He quoted Tennyson in his defense?!

:rofl:

It's like a circus.

[LiberalHeart]

41. If you were in trouble, wouldn't you want Tennyson in your corner?

[wryter2000]

51. It was Kipling last time

Next time, a tag team...Kipling and Tennyson vs. Milton and Alexander Pope.

[originalpckelly]

48. And instead of a bunch of clowns coming out of a car...

it's a bunch of bullshit coming out of Blago's mouth.

[LeftishBrit]

74. What did he quote?

The first Tennyson poems that come to mind are "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "I'm to be Queen of the May" - neither of which seems awfully relevant.

Or is it 'The Brook'? I suppose this verse might fit a talkative politician:

'I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.'

[spanone]

44. funny he didn't mention selling a senate seat or strong arming a chidrens hospital

[Critters2]

60. Not just a children's hospital. A poor children's health care program,

being chaired by the CEO of the hospital. He was going to screw poor children throughout the state, unless he got $50,000.

Yeah, he cares about the poor. :eyes:

[BR_Parkway]

45. Well, taking a page from Bush - Lie, Lie Big and Lie Frequently - and

folks will believe you.

[Clear Blue Sky]

49. No he is just a typical politician.

[originalpckelly]

50. Just an exaggerated version of one.

It's so clear now that they just use our problems to get us to vote for them after this.

[cali]

53. not even close.

nothing typical about him. I seriously think the guy has untreated bi-polar disorder and is in a manic phase.

[originalpckelly]

54. He's just an exaggerated version of what all politicians are.

He may be sick, but he's also a politician.

[cali]

62. nah. politicians are no more all alike than a group of docs or

plumbers. I think such broad generalizations are truly silly.

[originalpckelly]

63. Because it really makes sense that someone who's rich...

can never meet the vast majority of the people they "represent" and receives money from other rich people, is going to care about normal Americans.

[cali]

65. None of my reps are rich.

and my state legislators aren't either. Furthermore, Bernie and Pat and Peter are pretty easy to meet and talk to. I've met with all of them.

[originalpckelly]

66. You're interested in politics, right?

I'm mainly talking about the average person, not politically interested people. Even in your state, though few people live there, not everyone can meet their representatives, let alone have their reps really know what's best for them.

[cali]

68. actually, anyone with any interest at all can meet with Bernie

He's only done thousands of town meetings. yes, of course you have to be interested to meet with your rep, but so what? And as I said, none of them are rich. I'd say they all have a pretty good read on Vermonters, rich and poor.

[originalpckelly]

69. Ideally, everyone would be politically interested, and the it would be...

mathematically impossible to meet with them.

And even after one meeting, how is someone supposed to know you well enough to make such vital decisions about your life?

Some people don't know what's right for themselves, but if we ourselves don't always know, how do strangers have any better clue?

[backscatter712]

52. Missed it.

I was listening to Randi Rhodes, and she listened to that speech for about ten seconds before she turned it off, declaring she'd rather have her eyes pecked out than listen to that...

[spanone]

55. question? can they remove him from office? what happens next?

[originalpckelly]

58. Just like the federal impeachment provision, he must be tried in the Senate.

They must convict him, and if they so choose, remove him from office.

[Critters2]

61. It goes to trial before the Senate. And trust me, he'll be convicted.

Then I get a new governor. I hope the state party org is paying attention!!

[ErinBerin84]

56. Norah just said

"And NEXT, on As the Rod Turns..."

[Critters2]

57. Some DUer tried to explain to me that he's a great man because of open road tolling.

Or whatever it's called. Yeah, Chicagoans don't have to stop at toll booths, so we should leave this criminal in office.

It is to laugh! :rofl:

[WillowTree]

59. We have a room reserved in an asylum for Blo-J.......

just in the unlikely event that Fitzgerald doesn't manage to convict him. He ought not to be allowed to walk around on out public streets unattended.

[Iggo]

64. Where's the video?

I gotta see this.

[Ian David]

67. Blago is a Genius. You're all just too stupid to see it.

Blago's plan is working perfectly.

He has us exactly where he wants us.

And he'll get away with it too, if those meddling kids and that pesky dog don't get in the way.

[RiverStone]

70. But will he maintain that haircut once he is in Federal Prison?

Can he do that too?

[originalpckelly]

71. I doubt he'll be going to the old fashioned clink.

It'll be one of those fancy jobs, where they live in a dorm like setting.
