Coming Attraction: ” The Resurrection of Rod Blagojevich” – M. Malkin
I’ve been awaiting the start of this trial with the same vigor I have to see the Blackhawks finally win a Stanley Cup in my lifetime and if the Cubs ever get to the World Series all will have been accomplished on this earth, or the day we have politics without scandal and corruption as we have in this state of Corruption or Confusion, take your pick…..AKA Illinois.
I’m one of the few that believes this thing is going to bring down Obama and Michelle Malkin thinks about this exactly the way I do, you can look here to verify everything I’ve said about this man here and it sounds pretty much like this great column from Michelle Malkin at Town Hall and the New York Post this morning as Obama see’s the country careening out of control just as we all do and sadly predicted. Now it’s how to fix it because this shit is broken like nobody’s business.
We’ve had the Summer of Love and the Summer of the Shark. Now, are you ready for the Summer of Corruption? On Thursday, jury selection begins in the federal trial of disgraced former Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois. The timing couldn’t be worse for Blago’s old Chicago pals in the White House. Just as Team Obama tries to bury one job-trading scandal, another one resurfaces.
It’s a useful reminder that Washington didn’t turn Obama into a business-as-usual politician. He was born and bred among the slimiest in their class.
At the center of the Blago trial is the convergence of the Chicago political machine — the corrupt Democratic Party establishment, Big Labor heavies at the Service Employees International Union and Team Obama.
In December 2008, the political ties that bind them all came under national scrutiny when federal prosecutors publicly released their criminal complaint against Blagojevich. SEIU figured prominently in Blago’s secretly taped musings on how to profit from his power to appoint Obama’s Senate replacement. So did a larger union umbrella federation, Change to Win, led by SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger. Blago hatched a plan to snag a $300,000-a-year job as head of Change to Win in exchange for appointing a union-friendly successor to Obama.
