illinois

Hooray, because this fucktard’s sell-by date has long since passed: Rod Blagojevich is gone, thrown out by those communist street organizers in the Illinois Senate — by unanimous vote! Good-bye, Blago! You were really the most shameless, annoying political dingus of this young century, and you were never even funny/terrifying like, say, Sarah Palin. Hope [...]

Over the past two months, Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich charmed his way into America’s heart with his nutty appointment schemes, his liberal use of swear words, his employment of dead babies as stage props, and of course his national media blitz this week when the Illinois state legislature was debating his impeachment. He decided to [...]

Well this is surreal! What a waste of time and taxpayer money this Illinois Senate impeachment trial is, just rehashing comical two-month old quotes from the teevee news. Apparently they played the actual recordings of Blago’s famously profane Senate seat auction, though, and you can listen to them here. He has the voice of an [...]

Blago: Patrick Fitzgerald Is A Jap

How AP writer Michael Tarm resisted the urge to end this headline in ” — no, but seriously, we’re not even joking,” we’ll never know. [AP]

Rod Blagojevich for the win! The comedy continues, as smirking creep Dick Cheney swears in megalomaniacal Death Monument-builder Roland Burris. This marks the end of racism and the Triumph of the Black Spirit. [AP]

One of the more exciting things we did not tell you yesterday, because Ken was too busy Googling for gifs of John McCain’s three heads licking each other, is that Roland Burris finally TRIUMPHED over the racist Senate establishment and will be seated as “the junior senator from Illinois,” which is to say, “the poor [...]

You people thought we were joking about the random black and crippled guilt-bait Blago brought on stage during his press conference, but here they are, alongside, you know, a DEAD ILLINOIS CHILD to whom Blago had tried to deliver cheap prescription drugs, only to find that the evil state legislature had already murdered the child [...]

RACISTS IMPEACH BLAGO: “SPRINGFIELD—In a historic vote, the Illinois House has impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich, directing the Senate to put the state’s 40th chief executive on trial with the goal of removing him from office. The vote by the House was 114-1 and marks the first time in the state’s 190-year history that a governor [...]

Civil Rights hero Roland Burris is still in town, still hanging around Capitol Hill, and it appears his persistence just might pay off — if the racist Dixiecrats decide to let the old colored man become a senator, but only if he promises not to run again, which is called the “poll tax.”

Here’s another brilliant press conference with everyone’s favorite death monument of a U.S. Senator, Roland “Don’t Lynch Me” Burris, who’s talking to the media at an airport shortly before his flight to Washington. Because he’s coming! The reporters ask him questions for eight minutes and he tells them all to shut the hell up, for [...]

DUMB RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO DUMB ILLINOIS SENATE PROBLEM: Anybody who saw Harry Reid on Meet the Press this weekend probably noticed two things: First, rimless eyewear has a feminizing effect on the middle-aged male face, and second, Rod Blagojevich has hilariously bent this guy so far over that every time Harry Reid appears in public [...]

A SENATE SEAT FOR CHRISTMAS: “There’s one kind of gift America can give no matter how poor we are, and no matter how many families live in boxcars and eat rats for dinner. It’s the greatest gift the Founding Fathers made available to certain Americans: a seat in the U.S. Senate!” [AOL Political Machine]
