My Governor is a total Rod...

Looks as though Illinois Dems have found a potential way to block Blagodinnerjacket's (D) latest asinine move ...

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White said he will not co-sign an appointment from embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to the U.S. Senate.

Any appointment made by the governor to the seat left vacant by Pres-Elect Barack Obama would have to be co-signed by White.

So White won't let a black get the job?

Louisiana, Alaska and North Dakota all fared worse than the Land of Lincoln in that analysis.

Ahem. Thank you very much?

Y'all better watch it or we're going to start trying to find another Huey P. Long.

By that time another man had already confessed and a police detective and prosecutor had resigned in protest of the continued prosecution of Rolando Cruz.

In 1995 the prosecution continued even after DNA evidence showed Cruz didn't commit the crime. He was finally released after the state supreme court ordered a new trial which did not exclude the confession of the other man.

Blagofabitch took bribes. Burris tried to commit murder.

From the election thread, for Lemur.

Even without seeing that article Burris strikes me as a man with a warped sense of integrity to even accept any endorsement from Blago. No one should cooperate with nor enable this soon to be ex-Guv. Burris, and his supporters are just revealing themselves to be the grasping,shameless, power-hungry political animals that we have too many of already. Yeah, OJ's already in jail so I guess we got to go with Roland...
