My party SO did not need this to happen right now...

...weeks before our first President in two terms and the new Congress have even been sworn in:
Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich Arrested for "Selling" Obama's Senate Seat, Among Other Charges
Memo to the (soon to be ex-)governor: YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!! Democrats are supposed to be ending corruption in government, not committing it! Especially prominent, nationally known ones...and even more especially, ones anywhere near the President-elect in geography or politics. Have you even the vaguest notion of how much ammunition you've just given the other side? Now they can say, "See? SEE?! Republicans aren't the only ones! And what if Obama is connected to this in some way?" Was your greed and opportunism blinding you so badly you couldn't see how not only ethically wrong but colossally stupid this was?

Roderick, my man, you apparently lack ethics as well as timing...because in both cases, yours bites, and royally.

Aaaaaand another birthday noted

Many happy returns of the day to janeg! And thanks for all of your kind words re my music.

Ah, the familiar stench of right-wing hypocrisy...

Blogger Jon Perr of the generally progressive blogsite Perrspectives, linked in CrooksAndLiars.com, notes how, all of a sudden, the very Federal prosecutor whom Republican leaders and conservative pundits so loathed when he was going after Scooter Libby, Darth Cheney and Karl "I Don' Need to Honor No Steenking Subpoena!" Rove in the Plamegate scandal has become the apple of their eye now that he's taken aim at a leading pol of the other major party:
Bagging Blagojevich, or How the Right Learned to Love Patrick Fitzgerald
You can't possibly be surprised in the least, can you? I'm not; irritated and amused, sure...but by no means surprised.
