Blagojevich Tapes Played At Impeachment Trial
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
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 angel. [Chicago Tribune]











Attorney Edward Genson has abruptly quit his role leading the Gov. Blago defense team two days before the idiot’s impeachment trial begins in the Illinois Senate. Instead of listing the standard “personal reasons” or a professional conflict of interest, Genson cites that JESUS CHRIST HOW DO YOU WORK WITH THIS IDIOT: “I never require a client to do what I say, but I do require them to at least listen.”
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 has been impeached…” Well this is just terrible news, isn’t it. But what’s this now? “A spokesman for the governor said he won’t resign.” Hooray! [
The White House Christmas tree needs many ornaments, so Laura Bush asked some members of Congress to find local artists to make ornaments for the tree. One lady from Seattle, selected by Washington state Representative Jim McDermott, made an ornament that has teeny tiny letters on it chronicling McDermott’s efforts to impeach George W. Bush, a sad dunderhead who somehow survived eight whole years of the presidency.
Dennis Kucinich is about to start cold representin’ in the House of Representatives, in which he serves as a representative, in about a half hour, or maybe right now! Or maybe he already did this, earlier today. (We are in a Mexican restaurant having some margaritas and eggs right now, so we are out of C-SPAN range.) Anyway, Dennis is introducing a brand new Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, who is busily
Jesus, this clown. Our favorite sexually-harassing lover of women and Hawaiian pizza, Democratic Ohio Attorney General
Former Republican Congressman Bob Barr, most famous for leading the impeachment proceedings against American legend Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, is very close to running for president! But not for Republican party president, so which president then? Why the Libertarian party president, of course! According to CNN, “Two sources familiar with Barr’s deliberations say it is their understanding he will make clear he is ready to seek the Libertarian nomination if there is evidence of significant support within the party.” Gravel/Barr ‘08! Paul/Paul ‘12! The Libertarian party is some real hot shit these days. [
