IDBillzFan Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Gee, I would have thought his appearance on The View would have really saved his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Change Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Is it too late to nominate him for an Academy Award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Gee, I would have thought his appearance on The View would have really saved his ass. I think he should have aimed higher when he was comparing himself to other do-gooders. Like, for instance, perhaps not say that he thought of himself as "Ghandi, Mandela, or Martin Luther King" -- but rather that he thought of himself as "all of the special qualities of Ghandi, Mandela and Martin Luther King combined". Now that would have been impressive. Otherwise, it's just tootin' your own horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 His manager fvcked up. Should have got him on Oprah. Couldn't. The messiah doesn't support him since he a - got caught and b - didn't offer to kick back any of the money to the Messiah. Without Messiahorial approval oprah is not permitted to have him on her show. Messiah TV is only for the annointed ones and his chosen sheeple.

DC Tom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think he should have aimed higher when he was comparing himself to other do-gooders.

Now that would have been impressive. Otherwise, it's just tootin' your own horn. I can't decide what my favorite part of his long, rambling statement to the IL senate today was: "I'm being persecuted for my stance on health care", or "Please don't do this, think of my daughters." I mean, the health care thing was a serious "What the fochinell?" moment...but for sheer lunacy it's hard to beat hearing "think of my children" coming from a guy who claims to be completely innocent.

Yeah, deciding which sheer lunacy comment is the best is pretty much like deciding which skittle to eat first. He may, however, be the very first complete and utter fukk-stick politician that I'm going to actually miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If you've spent any time following the Blago trial, you can't help but feel that while it's buried below the fold outside Chicago due to all the other problems this country is facing, somehow this will soon find its way to DC. They were already giving Emmanuel grief, and now testimony today from Blago's chief of staff suggests Obama was aware of the plan to give Blago a cabinet post in exchange for putting Jarrett in his vacant Senate seat. Starting to get juicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to get juicy. Except that you've got an aide to Blago saying he thinks Obama might have known based on something Blago said. That's a couple of degrees of lunatic separation there - not exactly a strong indictment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute you're looking into the death of Vince Foster, and the next thing you know you're having a half-caff low-fat double mocha macchiato latte with Linda Tripp and her cassette player.

Starting to get juicy. The investigators made the arrest too early in my opinion. Had they let it play out for a bit longer, they could have likely filed more charges against others. They succeeded in stopping an improper appointment from happening, but let a few off the hook in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
