Rod Blagojevich FOAD

HAHAHAHAHA

You a$$hole. Although it'd be nice if you saw the error of your ways and tried to redeem yourself, I'm not averse to the idea of you rotting in Hell. That's a perfectly viable alternative, to my mind.


But a question:
Appropriate or inappropriate to add here that, by the standards of criminality of the Bush administration, the sleaze of Governor Fart-Head is almost quaint. Almost refreshing. Here's a guy who merely wanted to make some filthy lucre. He wasn't lying us into a war, wasn't sending young Americans off to kill young non-Americans for contorted, inadequate reasons, wasn't torturing anyone, wasn't using 9/11 for political leverage even while letting the perpetrators escape, wasn't turning America into a surveillance state. Awwwww....it's really kinda cute in context...trying to sell a Senate seat that is. Old school. Garden-variety sleaze like you find on the sleazy end of the bell curve in any government.

Should we say that? 'Cause part of me wants to say that. But part of me thinks that sounds like fairly transparent partisanship, like some attempt to re-direct criticism away from the Dems.

But believe me, I just don't have that much love for the Dems. The fact that Governor Fart-head--excuse me: that should be
EX-Governor Fart-Head--got where he did clearly tells us something about the Illinois Democratic party, and it ain't pretty. I'm not saying the Ex-Governor Fart-Head isn't total scum; I'm just pointing out that, by contemporary standards of scum-hood, he's a little bit of an amature.

One starts by saying, in a matter of fact way,
"The fact that Governor Fart-head--excuse me: that should be EX-Governor Fart-Head--got where he did clearly tells us something about the Illinois Democratic party, and it ain't pretty."

Then you say,
"[However], by contemporary standards of scum-hood, he's a little bit of an amature."

Next, you follow with:
"Having started with Blago, I believe we have a moral obligation to find those whose crimes are even more severe than his and hold them accountable as well."

You let the other person agree that we need to go aftert the bigger fish than Blago.

Then you say,
"[Paraphrased] Mr. Bush sent young Americans off to kill young non-Americans for contorted, inadequate reasons, tortured people in ciolation of our law and treaties, used 9/11 for political leverage even while letting the perpetrators escape, and started to turn America into a surveillance state. These are clearly worse than Blago's greed and graft. Let us get started investigating and prosecuting the key players in the Bush administration."

No partisanship. No redirection of criticism.

What do you all think?

Best,
Jim
