Blagojevich is a Chicago crooked Democrat, but is he a blackmailer as well?
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
Democrat Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is a crook’s crook. Even by the gutter level standards of Chicago his guy is a lowlife. But more than that, he is a moron and possibly a blackmailer.
First the lowlife/moron part: obviously Blagojevich was a crook from just about day one which is why he was selected to run for governor. The bum is in office for three years and has been under investigation for half of that span. Since it takes a while to get an investigation going, he must have been spotted right away, like a shoplifter at Wal-Mart. Besides being a crook he is also a moron. As far back as early December 2007 published reports about his wife being under investigation hit the streets.
A Law school graduate, Blagojevich eventually worked as a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney, a position at which he obviously learned nothing, especially nothing about wiretaps. This man is a crook and a moron of the classic crooked Chicago mold.
He had a year’s warning to shut up and stop implicating himself on telephones. But of course as a Chicago Democrat he believed he was untouchable. Had it not been for a Republican US Attorney he would have been.
Now for the possible blackmailer part: For the past two years the Chicago Tribune investigated Barack Obama over his connections to Tony Rezko. Nevertheless,, last month for the first time ever the Tribune endorsed a Democrat for president. Was this a blackmailing or a quid pro quo? Blagojevich’s wiretap caught him demanding the firing of an unfriendly editorial writer at the financially troubled Tribune while publicly threatening them with trouble getting funded.
There’s definitely more to the story of why the financially troubled Tribune would endorse a Democrat it knew was covered in Tony Rezko’s crap.
This is just the beginning of the unraveling of the fraud the 20% of conservatives put in office because they were soooooo much smarter than the rest of us. They joined the stupidest of the stupid to inflict another eight years of Clinton on us.
Those who think this will have no effect on Obama’s ability to govern, including Rush have to make a stronger case than they have so far.
There will be big trouble and this will take some of “The One’s” moral high ground. Blagojevich will NOT go down by himself. He will hand up everybody he can. Just one month ago Rezko’s sentencing was postponed. Why? He was told this was coming and asked if he wanted “in” once it went down. It looks like maybe he took the deal.
