    Or I may have to post some of your steamy PM's

    Hey! You aren't supposed to kiss and tell!

    BTW, Obama on Tuesday this week:

    "I had no contact with the governor or his office"

    Obama on Tuesday last week at the National Governor's Association:

    Next thing you know he is going to be telling us what "is" is.

    " I'm going to say this again: I did not have inappropriate contact with that Governor"

    Sorry.

    Sylvia,

    Let me spell this out: You, and everyone who voted for Obama, are being characterized here as "zombies." You owe no apology.

    Biz and Bek, I was apologizing to Gregor for taking his remarks too personally.

    Oh, why do I even open threads like this?

    Socialism rewards mediocrity. Nothing bugs me more than mediocrity, and not rewarding excellence.

    Capitalism rewards dog-eat-dog competitiveness. Nothing bugs me more than elitism which often results from a capitalistic society.

    That Blagojevich reminds me of Robert Blake.
    Everytime I see his pic that is who I think of.

    I got five bucks jailbird Rezko started singing a new song. Obama better hope he keeps his mouth shut. Maybe Rezko will decide he doesn't want to live anymore.

    Uh oh. Someone is singing a little jailhouse rock.

    A footnote to the 76-page criminal complaint and affidavit charging Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) with soliciting bribes confirms what has long been rumored — that a former longtime friend and fundraiser for President-elect Barack Obama is talking to federal prosecutors in hopes of a reduced sentence.

    Antoin “Tony” Rezko’s offer to provide authorities with evidence of others’ wrongdoing is “not complete,” and prosecutors are working to corroborate the claims he has made so far, the footnote said.

    Rezko, a 53-year-old developer, was convicted in June of 16 criminal counts, including fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery. He is in custody awaiting sentencing.

    Prosecutors depicted Rezko at trial as a fixer for Blagojevich and the man to see to secure a high-level appointment with the governor’s administration. Rezko had been a longtime fundraiser for Blagojevich and other Illinois politicians, including Obama.

    The article goes into the usual blah blah blah trying to cover for Obama, but has to have them nervous right there.
