Dean Cain Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 But I need my bling ba da blingy bling Judge. Now lookie here here Judge, if my client is guilty of anything it's loving fine jewelry, Rolex's & such. Now that ain't a crime, it's fine. If da Rolex don't fit you must acquit!

JJ gonna try like a D'Jango sum bee ache he is to try & blame it on his "depression". My take is he fell "ill" once he found out his illegal credit card were getting turned off. Where's your daddy and his NAACP buddies now?
Meathead Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 well in his defense he certainly did really need that $4600 michael j fox fedora
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 On that note... His old district has been redrawn to include where I live. The election is 2/26... You should see all the flyers in the mail. Nothing but gun control. You conservatives would keel over dead from the political mileage they are getting on gun control! Oh, boy... Even a liberal like myself wants to puke! well in his defense he certainly did really need that $4600 michael j fox fedora His defense was to throw his wife (Sandi) under the bus! Oh my!
Magox Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 What makes this even more sad is that if he were to run for re election, his constituents would still vote him in.
John Adams Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) What makes thiseven more sad is that if he were to run for re election, his constituents would still vote him in. Reminds me of the Philly mayoral race 10 years ago or so. John Street (Dem career politician) was running against Rep Sam Katz (local businessman). Street was losing by in the polls with just a few weeks to go. Then the Street people find a listening device (bug) in their office and accuse the Katz campaign of dirty tricks. The Katz people deny and the FBI admits that the bug is theirs, and they were investigating the Street administration of payola schemes and the like. In the very next set of polls, Street had the lead and went on to an easy 16 point win. After the bug surfaced, the Street campaign turned up the institutional racism rhetoric to a fever pitch. It was surreal. Documentary description sums it up well. http://en.wikipedia....Shame_of_a_City The only good news is that Street was so scummy that when his second term expired, Philly elected a guy with a pretty solid reputation for honesty and reform, Michael Nutter, the current mayor.

birdog1960 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 seeing as this story has garnered more interest than a supreme court deliberation with implications for the national food supply and chinese hacking with national security implications, i can say i'm a bit disappointed as well.

B-Large Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Michael Jackson memorablia..... purchase justified
IDBillzFan Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I was going to bring it up, but I was afraid I'd be labeled a racist.
Meathead Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 youre white arent you. then youre a racist
OCinBuffalo Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 That's Dave in Elma's jurisdiction. Blame him. Yeah, really, the single biggest story where DIE could basically go wild, and not catch hell...because this is not some obscure thing, with a tenous premise...and he boots it? For my part, Welcome to Chicago. I wonder where the douchebag, who gave me a hard time when I said: "Political Corruption in Chicago is common knowledge, you unimitigated moron." is today? Hiding. Especially we are currently seeing what happens when Alderman Obama tries to do a job that is way over his head. Aldermans don't lead anything, they split their time between running around their ward calling their opponents names, and paying off the people who voted for them. Sound familiar?
VABills Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 youre white arent you. then youre a racist I am half white, black, Chinese, Indian, and Mexican. Can I bring it up?
Azalin Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I am half white, black, Chinese, Indian, and Mexican. Can I bring it up? si!
meazza Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I am half white, black, Chinese, Indian, and Mexican. Can I bring it up? So you seem to take more from the Chinese side from what I understand?

He was trying to raise money to buy Obama's senate seat. Had he not been involved in that, he'd still be prancing around with the fancy watch and a fine cigar.
