"They made comments which show they can't be fair. They made comments which show that Rod Blagojevich cannot get a fair and impartial hearing of this committee."

Wonderful, I hope he exposes some of Obamas buried skeleton.

Well the Obama Team is starting out with USUAL democrat trappings..CORRUPTION..and Obama’s “story” regarding the incident with Blagojevich (and Obama’s man Rahm) changes with EVERY press encounter. I do wish we had a “President elect” that is honest, cares for ALL Americans. We are in very tough times..I would feel much more comfortable with “President elect” Romney! (to clean up the Fannie, Freddie, Barney Frank, etal, and Bush’s) lack of control over the Democrat crooks in Congress. By letting the Dems DEMAND banks loan to folks that could not AFFORD to EVER pay the loans back. That was the start of OUR melt down…Thank you MSM press and the DEMOCRAT PARTY for our current financial CRISIS!

I believe that gov’t committee hearings are not required to be fair and impartial. The members are selected/elected due to their bias’.

BLAGO-SCHMAGO: GET IT DONE EARLY   December 17th, 2008 - 4:21 pm

Used to think the folks in ILLINOIS had some BRAINS and ETHICS… Now WHERE in heck did I get that silly notion??? Wish someone would emerge from the slime-heap with at least half a brain and would settle this Blago mess right early… America already has enough problems without more taint and suspicion surrounding the President(elect)… which seems to be where this mess is headed… DO NOT DRAG THIS OUT!

As Jesus said in the sublime film, GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD:
‘GO, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO…’
i.e., “GET IT OVER WITH!”

Have any of these knuckleheads actually READ the entire 70 odd page U.S.Attorney’s Criminal Complaint?

Oh, sorry, they can’t read or engage in any logical thought process because they all went to the same Chicago schools as the nominee for Secretary of Education.

Thank You.

Heaven forbid they remove this SOB from his pillar of power. A government job is the only place where you can be corrupt beyond doubt and still control billions of dollars. Our government makes me sick. I live in New Mexico and our local government is full of corruption and cronyism – nothing but a bunch of self serving jackasses on our dime.

This is hilarious. I hope Blago hangs in there and exposes every crooked politician in Illinois. Of course, he will go to Jimmy Hoffa land before that happens. I hope he has security he can trust. This kangaroo court reminds me of a bunch of dogs arguing about who has the most fleas.

Bud,
I see where there is a grand jury investigating Gov. Bill Richardson for a play to pay scheme involving a California company. Yet, we cnnot question Obama’s past associations. Obama is knee deep in this and I hope the truth comes out about this inexperienced hack soon. He surrounds himself with idiots and people are blinded by his empty words of Hope and Change.

Socialist/communistic “new” Democratic definition for “change” = same ol…same ol!
==========================

He needs to go…but not under impeachment until there is evidence.

We had evidence on our previous Democratic President…Slick Willie Clinton…but he was not impeached.

Instead he was protected by the socialist/communistic “new” Democrats in Washington. Why are they not protecting the Governor also?

======================

JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN”!

Blah, Blah, Blah! All these folks do is talk and pontificate. For crying out loud, you couldn’t hold a job in private industry because your very survival depends upon accomplishing something of true value.

This guy’s a bad guy and needs to be tossed out on his head. Try him. Convict him, if he’s found guilty, quickly then have him trade his pin-striped suit for a white suit with horizontal stripes or an orange jumpsuit. The nerve of this character holding up the citizens of Illinois!

When Al Capone was alive, at least he didn’t screw around. He got the job done one way or another. These politicians are just like a bad dream and a bad penny, as they just keep coming back again and again.

Governor Blago. Do the right thing and step down for the sake of the citizens of Illinois. The good people cannot be left as hostages when a fianancial debacle of this scope is taking hold with a governor who has a cloud over his head.

If you can reclaim your good name, which I sincerely doubt, you can do so at trial. Until then, please go and go quickly and quietly.

The vote straight Dem party citizens of Illinois deserve what they get!! The morons reelected Blago even while he was being investigated by the Fed because he had a D after his name.

My neighbor, a middle aged enlightened Dem voter, was gushing with joy while she spoke of the Obama win. Then she said “now we have to get that crooked republican out of Springfield”. I asked her who she was talking about and she responded “Gov. Blagojevich of course”. When I informed her that Blago was a Dem she said “Yeah right!” True story.
