Blagojevich outwits all the Democrats

Posted January 13, 2009 10:00 pm

I am no fan of the governor, but at least he did something, instead of everyone else grandstanding in front of microphones. Governor Blagojevich laid it out to the Democrat Party in Illinois. "You chose not to act" "I did" said the governor, and he appointed a man with a fine reputation and a willingness to serve the people of Illinois to the U.S. Senate.

Where is Madigan? Where is Jones? Where is Stroger? Where is the mayor? How about some Democrat leadership in this comedy. The only person who had the chutzpah to act was the arrested governor of Illinois.

The rest of the Illinois Democratic leadership has crawled under a rock like cockroaches in the sunlight. The only voice I hear is from the Lt. Governor, he wants Gov. Blagojevich dumped today.

Lt. Governor Pat Quinn's only motive is that he wants the power. The state chairman of the Republican Party called for a "special election" since day one, but the Democrats are "afraid" of a special election, they will lose.

This state's government from governor to dogcatcher is just one big comedy routine.

Keep the comedy coming and we can all laugh all day, every day
