Let’s play Name That Goon!

By Uppity Woman on December 10, 2008 at 5:55 PM in Current Affairs

We are about to witness a barage of articles which expose Chicago for the despicable, thieving gangster-riddled political joke that it is. Hey, maybe they will let the last Governor out of prison so he can replace the current one who will replace him in his cell. Now THAT’s efficient recycling. More likely they will replace him with a new, fresh Pay To Play thief.

Now onto the latest entry in the Truth in Satire articles from the Daily Beast.

It’s time to play Name That Goon! Rod Blagojevich vs. Tony Soprano.

Hands on buzzers: One’s a trash-talking thug trying to stay one step ahead of the law. The other was played by James Gandolfini. Can you identify the speaker of the ten quotes below?

1. “Unless I get something real good…shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying.”

2. “What the fuck am I, a toxic person or something?”

3. “Log off, that “cookies” shit makes me nervous!”

4. “They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.”

5. “You got no fuckin’ idea what it’s like to be number one. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other fucking thing.”

6. “I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there.”

7. “That motherfucker’s full of shit. He’s shaking me down.”

8. “Our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ‘em the fuck out of there…”

9. “I could have made a larger announcement but wanted to see how they perform by the end of the year. If they don’t perform, fuck ‘em.”

10. “Jesus Christ! The money I’ve been dropping in here, I could’ve bought a fuckin’ Ferrari.”

Answers:
Tony Soprano: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10
Governor Blagojevich: 1, 4, 6, 8, 9

    Nothing like Chicagoland to make you laugh, or cry.

    I wonder if Blagojevich has become one with the ducks on his swimming pool, yet.

    Who said this?

    “Umm. er, uh, well let me be clear. I, I, I,…”

    Actually multiple answers would be correct. This quote could come from any of a number of Chicago political swine.

    Uppity, I dig your rapier wit and the other authors here! This crap is so sad we have to laugh at it.

  • Zeke

    Never having had the HBO, I only guessed the ones I thought old Rod might have come up with… didn’t do too bad… I picked Soprano for number 8 though…
    Cute segment
    More please!

    I will make a low pressure system spawn next to your house. It will cause severe winds that will lift your house up and cause it to fall in the empty lot besides Obamas house. This will cause Michelle Obama to rush to aide giving you mouth to mouth. You will then pass out in horror and awake next to nacy pelosi, who had to snuggle with you because you were going into shock!

    BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!

    God this election is making me insane!

    Do I miss Al Capone. He’ll fit right into all this madness. He could be the price negotiator for the senate seat, keeping a cut for himself ofcourse. :)

    • Hope, Change, Cook County?

      Trivia: Al Capone and Michelle Obama were both born on January 17.

  • Mr. X

    What’s going to be interesting is that Obama said he never met with Blago fater Axlerod said Obama did in fact meet. And a Chicago paper reported on the meeting. So if Obama lied, it’s gonna get real interesting.

    Blago and Rezko should sing. Obama doesn’t give a damn about them.

    Here’s two quotes:

    Who said these now famous quotes, Barack Obama or Rod Blagojevich?

    “I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”

    “Issues are never simple. One thing I’m proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.”

  • oowawa

    Yes, both Blago and Tony had a very successful long-running show. But alas, all good things must come to an end. The difference is, James Gandolfini, the actor playing Tony Soprano can go home to his nice house and look forward to his next role, whereas Rod Blagojevich, the actor portraying . . . oh wait a minute, that wasn’t an act, was it . . . ?

  • lark

    The sing is that Blago must have been saying those sings to someone. Lets see who might he have been saying those sings to. JJJr., Obiden, OMichelin, Oblabla himself, Emanuelle, or Axelrob?

    Dang “barrage” is spelled wrong. I think I’ll leave it there to punish myself.

    • galt

      LOL. I don’t think too many will notice. That looks like one of those commonly misspelled words.

    • lark

      I am particularly not proud of my spelling. A shame.

    Geogie Boy Soros…Johnny Sack or Uncle Junior?

    Personally, I think Rod is more the Ralphie or Pauley Walnuts type…crazy as hell.

      make that Georgie…

    Thank you again for the smile Uppity.

    Although living in IL. with this all the time it’s hard to laugh about it actually.

    I suppose if we got rid of Cook County IL. they would just move to Lake or some other county to continue to drag the entire state down the tubes as they continue to enrich themselves.

  • ILBlue

    Don’t know how many know it but as every MSM tries to continue to tell everyone how Obama isn’t corrupt like every other Politician in this state they don’t mention that before Rezco was indicted both Blago and Obama were being followed by the feds.

    And for any Obama supporters you can go research that on the web because I didn’t make that up, that’ s a fact. They were both video taped going in and out of Rezco’s place numerous times together.

    And Fitzgerald did put out a strong message when Rezco was found guilty that was clearly meant for Blago and Obama they had better watch what they were doing because he was watching them. ( and that was mentioned in the newpaper by I beleive John Cass of te Trib after the new conference who Fitzgerald was sending the message to…SO Obama is no MR. Clean- which is precisely why I would not vote for him again.

    So, wanna guess what Blago is going to say now that Obama is calling for his resignation??? That should be interesting!

    Oh – and don’t you think it should say something to Obama’s followers that someone who knows him as well as Blago does calls him a Mo-Fo (even though the AP censored that out of their report)?? Pretty telling, if you ask me…

    Very good. Very, very good!
