U.S. Atty. On The Arrest Of Gov. Blagojevich

Straight from the horse’s mouth.  Close your eyes if you fear the F word may burn them.

Governor Blagojevich: In His Own Words at CBS2 Chicago.  Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich on wiretaps trying to profit from the senate appointee to Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate position.

Blagojevich considered taking the job himself: “If … they’re not going to offer anything of any value, then I might just take it.”

Later he says: “Unless I get something real good for [Senate Candidate 1], shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying. I’m going to keep this Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I’m saying.

“And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself. [The Senate seat] “is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

In a separate conversation, Blagojevich says: “I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there.”

Blagojevich also asked what he can get from President-elect Obama
for the Senate seat: “Can [the President-elect] help in the private sector. . . where it wouldn’t be tied to him? . . .I mean, so it wouldn’t necessarily look like one for the other.”

Blagojevich said that consultants (believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this “motherfucker [the President-elect] his
senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.”

The language indicates a man driving a hard bargain indeed.

Fox Network Inadvertently Shows Penis Live On Air

Woops!  Dropped a towel in the locker room.  Camera on.  Too late.  Stray organs.  Caught live.  Fox News distressed.  FOX network accidentally shows penis live on air at Anorak.

Which is what happened after the Minnesota Vikings defeated the winless Detroit Lions at the weekend, in the NFL. The exposed penis in question belongs to Vikings tight-end (yes, it’s a real position anda euphemism) Visanthe Shaincoe.  

Well done Mr and Mrs Shaincoe, you must be very proud of your son’s, er, athleticism.

For their part, red-faced FOX aplogised for the slip.

“It was an obvious oversight on our part, and we apologize,” said Dan Bell, the vice president of communications for Fox.

Butt Bandit

AP’s Neb. ‘Butt Bandit’ gets 13 months in jail in Valentine, Nebraska.  The tale of a man who would lather his derriere and sometimes groin with lotion or petroleum jelly, and smearingly stamp his personal imprint on local church, school, or business windows. 

After several episodes since 2007, he was caught and sentenced to 13.5 months in jail.   

35-year old Thomas Larvie may have generated a few snickers in the town, but those snickers may turn to cheers once he goes behind bars.  He will likely still need his petroleum jelly.  And not for any window decorations either.

New Obama Birth Certificate Surfaces

Real *Actual* Obama Birth Certificate Surfaces at LiveLeak.

Barack Obama’s birth certificate has been unearthed and posted for all the world to examine.  This should finally settle in the minds of any doubting Thomas, that the real birth certificate has finally been found.   According to Liveleaker eviscero,

See attached for the actual COLB that proves Obama is a US Citizen and true heir to the King of America.

If you deny this is the real COLB, you are a racist.

“Offishal Birth Certificat for HAWAII.  (Hawaii State Seal)  Certificate number : 52.  Sign:  Leo.  Mom:  Mrs. Obama.  Dad:  Mr. Obama.  Barack Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.  and this is proof.  Also he is a U.S. citizen!  Doctor Bengay__(messy signature with a smily face)__.  Another Doctor __(Mike)__.”

FactCheck will soon be forced to analyze and verify this document.

Experience A Double Standard For Kennedy And Palin

One rule for Sarah Palin, another for Caroline Kennedy at the The Telegraph points to the obvious double standard that some Americans seem so readily to concede.  They are willing to anoint Caroline Kennedy Senator of New York to fill Hillary Clinton’s seat, with her lack of elected leadership experience, and yet unable to fathom how Governor Sarah Palin who does have elected governing experience, could run for Vice President.

As I write, over on the news channel MSNBC, the host Chris Matthews is in full gush mode, (“We all want to be the protector of Caroline Kennedy”), as are most of his guests.  When I last suggested that many Americans regarded the Kennedys as their de-facto royal family, some of our more emotional readers howled that this was just a fantasy peddled by the left-wing media.

Well, dream on. The common consensus among New York politics observers is that, as the state enters probably some of the most difficult years in its history, the job is hers for the taking. New York likes its celebrity politicians – cf Mrs Clinton – but glossing over the lack of relevant experience on the Kennedy CV so soon after trashing Sarah Palin for the same weakness seems a mite like double standards.

Matthews has just conceded that the Kennedy thing is  ”almost like royalty”. Almost? How about “worse than”? At least the heir to a throne generally spends his or her life preparing for the role. Until a few months ago when she joined the Obama team, Caroline Kennedy has spent hers doing her best to avoid politics and public life.

Barack Obama must be relieved she didn’t choose to go for the White House. He wouldn’t have stood a chance.

And so it seems some Americans are quite willing to pave the path for those subjectively deemed worthy, and set up roadblocks and obstacles for anyone else.  Hypocrisy has no boundries.
