Obama seeks Republican for cabinet? Well, I’m thinking that he’ll be looking for a Senatorial RINO like Olympia Snowe, to get another Rethug out of the Senate.
UPDATE: Apparently, that’s the point of the story, but they’re saying Judd Gregg for Commerce Sec:
If Mr. Gregg accepted the post, he would probably be replaced by a Democrat. Now, there are 58 Democrats in the Senate, with the number rising to 59 if Al Franken of Minnesota is seated after the court challenge to his race is completed. The replacement of Mr. Gregg could give Democrats 60 seats, the number needed to control the legislative agenda without the threat of Republican filibusters.
See? Bipartisanship!
Bwahahahaha! More government mortgages? What could possibly go wrong?
Why does Obama hate Midwesterners?

Nobody could have seen this coming
Whither Blago? Huffington Post? Game show host? Talk show host?
* He had this bleeping golden thing, and they made him give it up for bleeping free
Blago’s sin was embarassing The One and that is unforgivable.
Still, he managed to keep a senate seat in the Democratic column by avoiding a special election during a series of Democratic stumbles. So eventually all will be forgiven.
I’ve actually been curious how unfunny the Daily Show would get now that evil BOOOOSH is gone, who was pretty much the entire satire of the show. Since Jon Stewart can barely wipe the cum off his chin for Obama, I was wondering what the show was going to actually discuss. Well Blago seems to be the sole point of derision for the Democrats and sure enough, Stewart and co. tried to make opposition to the closing of Guantanamo and the “stimulus” package seem funny and amusing. They failed miserably and even their own audience could muster uncomfortable golf claps.
The point of this is that I think it’s best if we just MoveOn.org and let this whole Blago thing just disappear. I say this partially because I’m from Illinois and he frankly embarrasses me but also because he was cover for “Bi-Partisan” scrutiny for the press. In other words, it was business as usual for the press – continue to act as Baracky’s official propaganda arm but criticize Blago to “prove” their bi-partisan bonafides even though even Democrats couldn’t defend the guy (and they defended Clinton through everything and told us with a straight face that Baracky had “good judgment”.
With Blago gone, the press won’t have a Democrat they can find fault with and their entire credibility will be shot (assuming this hasn’t occurred already).
Now that he’s lost everything, politically at least, and can neither benefit from nor help any Illinois politicians, I hope that he names all the names, and effectively throws them all under the bus…
Take the witness protecion plan offer Blago, and sing like a canary!; sing that sweet, sweet song of schadenfreude…
Unless the Republicans make significant gains in 2010, I don’t forsee The Daily Show continuing for much longer, at least in it’s current format.
Stewart just can’t bring himself to joke about his side. He’s going to be hard up for material for at least two years.
He did a piece last week interspersing The One with Evil Global Warming Bush to demonstrate the similarity of the rhetoric.
I did see that, but like I said, evil BOOOSH is still mentioned. I’m waiting for the sophomoric “See, Baracky walked into a window! He’s SSTTTUUUUpid!” nonstop crap-tanza that was the Daily Show for the past 8 years. Won’t happen though. Well, at least not until Jon’s sexual favors stop.
Along the same vein, I’m kinda curious as to what Olberman’s schtick will be over the next couple of years. Not curious enough to actually allow that flood of shit into my living room, but still, mildly curious.
I don’t watch a whole lot of prono, as I’m from the you’ve seen one you’ve seen ’em all, school of pron watching, but has anyone ever seen a blowjob last 2 full years? Seems like it would be excruciating on both ends.
Why would any Republican Senator consent to be part of this train wreck? I don’t see any upside for them at all. In 2012 the theme will be “it would have worked but the Republican we put in charge of Commerce….”
Blago: A corruptocrat wrapped in a delusion, covered by transcendent narcissism.
BUH-BYE!
I think Blagojevich is sexy. Nice hair. I’d like to watch my wife Michell and Blago get it on.
His name isn’t Stewart. That is a Scottish name. His real name is Jonathon Liebowitz. He doesn’t have the balls to be Jewish in real life.
Couldn’t see it coming, watched it disappear into the black-hole of the oh so easily forgotten past.
Oh fuck, he’s from the government and he’s here to help me. Why did I just reach for my gun?
Yes, Blago is gone – and now we’re stuck with Pat Quinn. If Public Citizen built their perfect cyborg governor in their basement, it would be Pat Quinn.
Illinois is well and truly screwed.
“Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, Illinois has voted for change,â€Â
-Governor Blagojevich, election night 2002
That is funny Chris. Was that the campaign O! helped him run?
Blago’s going to host a special Leavenworth edition of “Let’s Make a Deal,” I think. He’s the prize behind Door #3, which the lovely Crusher is at right now.
MarkD, the one that will accept it is a RINO up in 2010 who realizes his state is going to give the Dems the seat anyway, and wants to find another gig while he still has something to bargain with.
I’m old Gregg! Wanna go to a club where people wee on each other? I’m old Gregg!
