I remember the rosy predictions of 20 years ago about the web; it was going to foster a new age of enlightened, reasoned discussion and debate on vital issues. Nothing of the kind has happened. This comment area is a fine example of what passes for discussion these days: hard line blowhards insulting each other with comments that have little to do with the issue at hand, people for whom there is zero chance of any kind of rational discussion. Welcome to Dumb America 2009.
Gotta say one thing in Blago''s defense...at least he didn''t sell phony CDL''s to wanna-be cowboy truckers, so they could use them to get behind the wheel and run over families on I-94 and fry them alive. George Ryan, anyone?
I was born in and spent half my life in Chicago, and lived most of my life in IL...seen them all...Daleys I and II, Kerner, Thompson, Edgar, the whole shebang. I''m used to scammers, soundrels, and scumbags in the Hall and the Statehouse, but Blago topped them all. Guess there ain''t gonna be any 40-million-smacker monument to those dead kids at NIU after all, with kickbacks from his contractor cronies. That one sure crashed and burned....and that''s when I knew he was Looney Tunes.
So he got to fly home in a state plane, did he? They should have sent him home via I-55. In a rubber truck.
Bye-bye, Blagojamoke. Your fifteen minutes of infamy are up. Yesterday''s news. Hope they put you in a holding cell with a six-six biker named Tiny. Or maybe just a single...preferably padded.
Outside his Chicago home Thursday night, Blagojevich vowed to "keep fighting to clear my name," and added: "Give me a chance to show you that I haven''t let you down."
LOL buh bye, caught RED HANDED with wiretapped audio proof and he still yammers he is innocent. Reminds me of Larry ''wide stance'' Craig oddly enough.
I usually don''t read the comment sections on any site, and it goes w/out saying I''ve never posted a comment of my own. As to why I read them tonight, I don''t know. The reason I''m leaving a message is due to the crazy stuff I just read, the comments- not the news piece. It''s obvious that most of them were written by folks with no knowledge of the subject matter, no understanding of politics or human behavior, and way to much self-righteous blabber. My advice is that you carefully read a news article, follow-up on the information with subsequent news pieces, and then if you think there is flubbing going on- do a bit of research on the matter. At least then you won''t come off like a complete idiot! Not understanding an issue, and having only bits of the facts completely eclipses a persons intelligence. And think about this- if reading a news article like this one about Illinois ex-governor is putting you in an incoherent rage- which is very abnormal- and a symptom of an underlying problem, don''t you think it''s time to find someone to talk to? I mean, really- you might be heading for a heart attack, stroke, or even worse. If you don''t think I''m right- check out the clips they got on the ex-gov. It''s obvious he''s guilty, and it''s obvious there is something wrong with him! A stable person doesn''t act like that! He was giddy with excitement- almost manic. And, he had already done enough crazy stuff to make the FBI suspious- that''s why they taped him. Come on, you have a computer- use it.

I still am asking--What did Nobama know and when did he know it?

In solitary...no one will hear you scream.

Is this the same court "Wrapped-in-diapers-by-hookers" David Vitter should be tried in? Or do only Dems commit crimes in your fantasy world?
