Now poor Rahm can’t answer questions because he’s a father. No one calls him on the double standard.

Re: Friday, December 12:
• Blagojevich scandal grows! We have the latest details, including analysis from Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee
• Plus, what the folks are saying about the Washington state Christmas controversy!

I emailed oreilly@foxnews.com and asked:

“Twice, during interview with Gov. Huckabee, Blagojevich’s picture pops up with “(R)” designation. Times must be tough — how much did you charge to switch party identification from “(D)” to “(R)”…?”

Haven’t received a response. Probably tossed the email — I probably should have been more reserved, and not blasted Bill in the subject line: “Blagojevich a Republican? What’s wrong with you MORONS?”

Doesn’t mean that IL politics isn’t a sewer or Obama is pure as the driven snow. It just means on this issue, Obama and his aides are clean…NEXT.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and the whitey tape will be released before Congress ratifies the results of the election.

And no, Blago is not crazy.

Blago (nor anyone else) would be able to successfully make the case that he is “crazy”.
The very idea is offensive to anyone who suffers a legitimate mental illness. Mental illness takes away the functionality of the one afflicted and seriously impacts his or her loved ones. If Blago really had any kind of disease, he would have had treatment, documentable incidents (some involving the law and or involuntary commitment) and at the very least, a longterm course of anti-psychotic meds.

I can’t believe that the MSM is attempting to make this case and I’m stunned that the mental health advocates aren’t on this like a rash.
It isn’t up to Blago’s political associates nor journalists to decide whether or not he is sick.
That’s a call for medical professionals to make.

And if it hasn’t been made by now, then obviously there was no reason to.

The only power people have in this republic is through the elections process, which has been corrupted to the core. Without elections that truly reflect the will of the people, we exist under tyranny, no matter how much you want to parce words.

BTW, I doubt very seriously our corrupt Congress is going to “do the right thing” and stop obama. The fix was in a long time ago to put obama (the puppet) in the WH, to the detriment of democracy and the grand experiment we affectionately call America.

Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.

Problem is, now we’ve got the worst of both worlds: election by the “incompetent many” PLUS “appointment by the corrupt few.”

That’s my hope anyway, even if a slim one.

You’ve encapsulated exactly what’s happened to our democracy.

All elections are these days is to give the people the “impression” that we are still living in a democracy.

The question is what will it take for the American people to wake up and realize how right you really are?

I agree though, wodiej, I think he DID think he was in the Obama protective bubble. For the life of me, I cannot understand these people like Blago, or JJJr., who think that THEY will not be cast aside in a skinny-second if it looks like they are trouble for The One. Talk abt delusional blindness. Blindness has been the hallmark of those pushing Obama, but you would think those in office would actually take note that he will NOT back them under any circumstance. I mean, really – when the guy will trash his own grandmother on a national stage, what in the WORLD makes them think he will “be there” for them?!??! Absurd.
