Happy Day
So where does it all go from here?
- Patti Blagojevich (nee Mell) is obviously a full fledged conspirator in her husband's political endeavors. Is she going to talk or is Rod going to throw her under the bus? What about those crooked real estate deals with Rezko? Does Patti talk first and sell out Rod? Does Patti's daddy Dick Mell feel any heat?
- John Harris, the former civilian Deputy Superintendent is another key player. He worked for Shortshanks prior to going over to Blagojevich. We'd bet money Daley sent him there to keep an eye on Blagojevich. What did Harris know and when did he know it? And how much pressure can the feds bring on him?
- Like it or not, Obama is a product of this political swamp. A young, charismatic lawyer-politician doesn't just spring out of nowhere in Illinois politics. You don't get elected without the Machine/Combine in your corner. It doesn't happen. And because of that, the taint of that association is forever on your background. But if you have a complicit media helping you out by ignoring your associations with Tony Rezko, Daley, Blagojevich, you can even get elected president and start appointing people with even deeper ties to the Chicago Machine. And Obama is stuck because any interference with the ongoing Fitzgerald probes would be akin to Nixon attempting to quash Watergate.
- And is Shortshanks getting any sleep now? What are his nightmares tonight?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Good One ! !
One of the ten best days of my life.
Please Mr. Fitz get the midget and make my top three.
We live in interesting times.
Elvis has left the building.....
I never thought I'd see it in my life..........
I never thought I'd say this but Pat Fitz may be a Fed to trust....
God Save the CPD......
Retired in 2003......and wondering which rat is next........
45 hundred dollars bond for federal charges???? What a joke! If that was one of us we'd have a million dollar bond! What the F...!!
SCC your right Nixon was very powerful and was brought to his knees. Obama is ripe for the taking hes as corupt as the rest of Daleys and Blagos crew. But will the investigation go that far? The bigger picture is that major unrest would spread through the country. So Obama will be spared! Biden is still keeping his fingers crossed.......
PRESIDENT-ELECT CAUGHT IN LIE
Long, long "news day!" Tired and I hope I got this right --
Obama claims that he knows nothing, has had no contact with Blagojevich regarding Blagojevich's expectatIons that Obama "play ball," but tonight ABC _Nightline_ dug up and played news video of Obama's "senior adviser," David Axelrod, stating that Obama had indeed spoken with Blagojevich!
They said that Obama is still denying it...
Wow. Talk about a "heater case!"
I hear they are going to disband Chicago... then rename it Hell.
Yesterday, Steve Bryant (QVC Shopping Network pitchman) wrote a parody song about Blago's situation. Here is the link:
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7134934
Da mare looked positively STRICKEN today when interviewed. And it's the first time in a long time he wasn't stuttering and entertaining the media with his clever repartee.
Politically and job saving move by Fitzgerald by indicting Blago and going public with a large majority of the case. Now it ties Obama's hands and probably keeps Fitzgerald in the U.S. Attorney position. Could fuck up the case and jury pool, but we'll see. Sounds like a good case. Blago will talk and there are a lot of politicians in Illinois having trouble sleeping tonight.
No, Daley has no knowledge of anyone doing anything unethical or corrupt. Never! That's just silly silly silly! He does pride himself as being "in the know" and having his finger on the pulse though. But when it comes to wrong doing even with his friends or family he somehow was "unaware" had no idea. Blago, "pay to play" politics? Daley is the king of "pay to play" he's been doing it for 20 plus years. Did anyone hear him talk about Blago today? Fucking hillarious! He sounded like a second grader after sneaking into his parents liquore cabinet and drinking all the crown royal! IDIOT!!!!!
I've always loved Snoopy......
Awh, no worries. Even if they nail him before he takes office, he'll just pardon himself immediately after taking office. He'd have the balls to do it too.
blago said he is not stepping down, hopefully he will sign the pension portability bill before he signs his reciept for his property.

If there was an Obama connection, it would clearly be cut from this investigation.
Obama today said he had NO contact with Blago in regards to Obama's vacant senate seat. Pretty hard to believe unless the Feds told Obama - No contact with Blago to shield him from any wire taps. The last thing the feds want is to have Obama on a wire tap. Taking Obama down would cause wide spread urban unrest and billions in riot damages and untold number of people killed.
A bunch of smoke and mirrors as usual.
Harris was the deputy superintendent of BAS not ADS. He also was in charge at O'Hare regarding the expansion project and was the guy who presented the city expansion plan saying it would be 6.6 billion. Peter Fitzgerald called him a carnival barker but said he thought he was doing a disservice to carnival barkers.
One has to question why this investigation was halted prematurely? Investigators dream of a target, captured on tape, talking of crimes. If the overtures were out, there is no doubt someone would have come to Blogo with bushels of money, offers of positions for him, consulting jobs for his wife, and/or Christmas donations to the kids' college funds to become a federal senator. With this on-going conspiracy, why wouldn't they let the investigation continue? They may have snared a state senator, a mayor or relative, or even a member of the president elect's transition team. Now we may never know. The DOJ had the opportunity to destroy the entire corrupt IL political machine. Instead they appear to have settled with just wounding the monster by bringing down another sitting governor. What might have been.
D.Q.
Please, Please, Please; if there is a God? Let Daley and Stroger be next. I'm so excited, it feels like Christmas already. The anticipation is killing me! DA DA DA DUMB Daley, Oh, you are so next in line, for my new superhero to bring down: The One- The Only- U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. Stay tuned........
The politicians in this fucking town makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like Disneyland.
How long must we wait 'til Shortshanks turns into a pillar of salt? Streets & San could then use his remains on the black ice.
If a Democrat so much as moves his lips, crucify the lying scoundrel. A crack whore has more credibility than Daley, Stroger, Blagojevich, Durbin and the others.
Harris was Deputy Superintendent of Administrative Services. Put there by Daley to watch over the CPD money. He was #2 at Dept of Aviation. He was a prick and did not like the police, although he sure wanted to be one. He's got stuff on Daley, no doubt about it. We'll just have to see if he can take 20 years in the joint. Hmmm, he might like it.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Work is that "JR." might be the unnamed candidate #5.
Hey Avila wasn't that your clout...douchebag. Ethnically cleanse this, asshole!
look like there is some police corruption here in this story too.
apparently the local police commander gave Ald. Mell a tip that his son in law was about to be arrested.
that commander's ass is grass. weiss is gonna be on him like stink on shit. who is the commander in that district ?
"Asked how he learned of his son-in-law's arrest, Mell said, "The same way you did."
Actually, Mell got the news during a wake-up call from a top aide. The assistant had gotten a tip from the local police commander that Blagojevich was about to be taken into custody. The commander called the staffer, who called Mell."

How in the fuck does the Chicago Tribune have standing to sue for Ryan (the senator who Obama replaced) divorce records, apparently no one on earth has standing to sue for Obama's Birht Certificate?
How the fuck does that happen?
Remember that, when the Chicago Tribune sued for Ryan's divorce decree?
You remember that?
That benefitted Obama DIRECTLY ...
What the fuck is going on here????
The Chicago Reader had a article titled "Why Obama is next" on its site last night. I checked this morning and its GONE. BUT, I was quick enough to copy it, I'll e-mail the article in its entirety later.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Harris promised the Mayor that he would fire 1,200 police officers for indebtness.
The head of the IAD called him an asshole and stated it would never happen. That led to a near physical confrontation and Rodriguez had to seperate them.
It did not happen.
Harris belongs in jail.
Given that Blago clearly hates Obama, referring to him as a "motherf----r" in a taped phone conversation, Obama surely feels that he owes Blago completely nothing.
Of course you have to come up through your party's "machine" such as it may be, but that doesn't mean you have bought into it. If you are an aspiring IL pol, you have either the Democratic Party of Blago, Daley, and Stroger, or the Republican Party of Jim Thompson and George Ryan to choose from. Some choice.
Obama should, and probably will, support federal efforts to prosecute Blago and his fellow travelers.
would that local commander be Mealer? isn't that guy hated on this blog?
or would it be the local commander where mell lives?
that song is hilarious, especially being put togehter on such short notice.
to 12:25 am:
$4,500 is the standard federal I-Bond.
Don't read anything into it.
Does this mean we get a raise?
I LOVE IT!!!!
THANK YOU FITZGERLD!!!
ONE DOWN TWO TO GO!!!!

He did not look to good maybe he knows that harris will talk about all the corruption the daley family has been involved in for years! the police commander hope Jody dumps him/her and moves to fire him/her rule 14 does that apply to the exempts also? who was the clout mell?LOL!
He treated the state troopers like garbage. They must be very happy.
Santa, for Christmas I want......
Obama in jail for being an outright FAKE NON CITIZEN.
Weis back to the FBI for turning what was once a damn proud police department into an embarassing shambles.
Daley in federal prison for being the biggest joke lying midget to the citizens of the city.
Thanks Santa. Between jobs and backlog in 23 degree weather, I'll try and make sure you are safe.
Hey Richie, ya see that little flickering light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissapation light!! Mr. Fitzgerald please tell me this highest taxes, meter stealing, no street plowing, lease all of fucking Chicago piece of garbage is next. Pay to play is His entire corrupt career in office.
$4500 for bail is about right for a COMPLAINT. Blago was NEVER FORMALLY CHARGED with anything, it was only a complaint. Fitz has 90 days to pitch his stuff to a grand jury and get formal charges filed. This is VERY UNUSUAL for him. Previously he waited until he had the formal charges before he pounced.
How in the fuck does the Chicago Tribune have standing to sue for Ryan (the senator who Obama replaced) divorce records, apparently no one on earth has standing to sue for Obama's Birth Certificate?
*********************************************
The Berg v. Obama case lost in (PA) Federal Court on the grounds that Berg, as a citizen, did not have legal standing to question Obama being a "natural born" citizen. Although being a "natural born citizen" is a constitutional requirement for President, a mechanism to enforce this provision was never put in place.
The U.S. Supreme Court will decide on Friday, 12Dec08, whether to grant certiori to the Berg case. Only 4 of 9 Justices need to agree to hear the case. In the unlikely event that the US Supreme Court hears the case, then a vault copy of Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate would be demanded. So far, only a "Certificate of Live Birth" was posted on Obama's website.
Berg (a "Hildebeast" supporter) contends that Obama is ineligible to be President for at least three reasons and has his briefs and other info on his website:

The Trib's John Kass does it again.
He gave us "Shortshanks" as the nickname for our corrupt mayor.
His latest for "reformer" Blagojevich?
"GOVERNOR DEAD MEAT"
I'm so tired of this city and state. Can't wait to retire and move out of this dump of a city. People vote for these politicians on how they look on the outside. They have no idea what they stand for. If they knew then they would have never voted for Blago and Daley.
The big money people, including Warren Buffet, wanted Obama so that they could guarantee making more money and protect it.
The big money people also own and control the media so the media left Obama alone.
When confronted about 1 1/2 years ago with all of the corruption under Daley's administration this is what Obama said "It gives me great pause."
Obama ate at the corruption table with Reszko and the rest of the political thieves and schemers.
Obama did not distance himself
but reaped the benefits of corruption.
Most people would like to buy a million dollar mansion for $700,000 because Reszko's wife bought the lot next door.
Anyone else remember a ways back, I believe when Blago was running for re-election, when some big scandal came up ( I have lost track as to just which scandal)and the reporters were rightfully blitzing Blago with questions outside, Blago picks up his little daughter and uses her as a shield, holding her up to the cameras as he fled the scene? He was disgusting then and hasn't changed. The man has no conscience!!

Analysis: Scandal threatens to dog Obama
By LIZ SIDOTI
"The serious nature of the crimes listed by federal prosecutors raises questions about the interaction with Gov. Blagojevich, President-elect Obama and other high ranking officials who will be working for the future president," said Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the new GOP House whip.
Added Robert M. "Mike" Duncan, chairman of the Republican National Committee, "President-elect Barack Obama's comments on the matter are insufficient at best."
http://560wind.townhall.com
Blagojevich Scandal: What Did Obama Know, and When Did He Know It?
Arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich wanted something �very big� in exchange for appointing Barack Obama�s preferred candidate to the president-elect�s former Senate seat. Obama�s team turned down the alleged deal, but when were they first approached, and did they report the scheme to federal authorities?
http://www.newsmax.com/
And the sheeple in Chicago continue to vote for the same crooks election after election. It's one of the reasons I left Chicago. I couldn't deal with the stupid soap opera that's taking place at the expense of the sheeple.
I am a po and am going to run for the 5th congressional seat as an independent.
I will not have the machine backing and dont want it.
I want the backing of the people of the 5th district and nothing more.
I know you try and avoid politics, but when announced I would hope you would support a fellow officer in trying to clean up state's politics.
good idea or not I will post all info when ready to get signatures for election.
north side ranger.
How much would you want to bet on the "Daley sent Harris to watch Blago", I'd take long odds on that.

"I figure Blagojevich most likely will start talking to the feds, blabbing about everyone he knows, in order to cut down his time, because what's on the federal tapes is devastating.
Once he starts, the feds will have to slap him to shut him up."

Did anyone notice Shortshanks behavior at his press conference tuesday AM?
He was unusually quiet and docile. Very unlike his normal sputtering self. I smell fear.
Bush is at fault for all this Shitcago related Corruption, of course he's to blame, for this, and everything else, right????
When that tact officer from 024 was shot and is now a quadriplegic, they were passing an envelope around at 11th&State. Harris was a Dept/Supt and refused to donate, stating that the officer had insurance so why should he give anything. Hated the police. Arrogant little prick just like his mentor, Richie.
Reitred PO
Check out the new Orange [DANGER-Ignored by DALEY] marked Stickers on Stop Signs in Mt. Greenwood. If you see them, it means the intersection is hazardous, Dangerous, solid ICE, etc; beware, UNSAFE.
Weiss will give the Commander who leaked a pass, per Daley. Nothing will happen, or if it does it will be a Smoke and Mirrors Job..
So when do we get STROGER?!?!!?!?
I have such a crush on Fitzgerald! He's my new super hero!!!!
One more connection you missed -- Harris was the City of Chicago Budget Director before moving to Blago.
12:32 said..Obama is ripe for the taking hes as corupt
spill the beans. what have you got on him. lets get your charges on record, book him and let a jury of his peers convict him. why keep your secret, let justice prevail.
Nelson from the Simpsons says, "ha-ha.."
Wasn't Ryan's divorce records sealed?
PLEASE Pat go after the alderman then you can get daley... blago is a saint compared to these fools..
Maybe the Mayor should start be nice to city workers now. He may need them to give nothing but the good instead of the real dirt when the FEDS come knocking.
LET'S SEE HOW MANY OVER SEAS TRIPS ARE PLANNED BY THE MAYOR THIS YEAR.
The interesting this about Haris, other than be a unqualified, mean spirited political hack. Wasn't he sent to the airport to make sure Maggie's " investments " where all taken care of????
Word around the airport is the Feds are looking at the bookstore, Starbucks and Hudsons... among other things connected to city hall
We now need to see a REPUBLICAN candidate come forward, say maybe that guy from DuPage Joe Birkett and take charge of this fucked up state.

YOU ARE NOW SEEING THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD GUN CONTROL BY THE LIBERAL LEFT JUST ELECTED. THE EROSION OF OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS HAS BEGUN:
Bills that are being pushed in 18 states require all ammunition to be encoded by
the manufacturer in a data base of all ammunition sales so they will know how
much you buy and what calibers. Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30,
2009 unless ammunition is coded.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011
(including hand-loaded ammo).
They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy
will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo, they will not need to take your gun!
The 18 states where this legislation is currently pending: Alabama, Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
To find more about the anti-gun group that is sponsoring this legislation and
the specific legislation for each state, go to:

Yahoo is running a story that "Candidate 5" is none other than Jesse Jackson Jr.
Xmas has come early friends!
SCC: you are right on the button with all our keen observations...I read you before I read that skank paper the Trib. The SunTimes is long long and the last issues lined the bottom of the bird cage. Thanks for keeping us (and I'm sure the Chicago media informed)
.....to sue for Obama's Birht Certificate?
Like it or not the birth certificate is really smoke and mirrors...Honolulu Advertisers will sell you copy of Obama's birth announcement from their micro film file, dated 1961 Hawaii USA
I'm sure the Feds decided to arrest Blago prematurely before Obama's camp got involved in the wheeling and dealing, which I have no doubt was going to or has happened. Clearly they wanted to save embarassment and a scandal before the messiah gets sworn in. Obama is from the Chicago machine and dat's da way day do biz. It's going to ba a long 4 years, Chicago has stretched it's arm to Washington and now the entire US can experience what Chicago has experienced for decades upon decades.

Work is that "JR." might be the unnamed candidate #5.

Thus, candidate #5 as in relation to the old "Jackson 5". It would be a nice Fed-funny.
Snoopy is my hero.
It's time to bring the whole house of cards down.
I've been saying this the entire time; Obama is a product of the Chicago machine and they are all corrupt. Obama will bring Chicago style politics to the White House.
One down, three to go!
Obama doesn't have a thing to worry about. The news media that elected him, will save his sorry ass. They will save the "Messiah" by portraying him as a victim. He knows nothing. He did nothing wrong.
Forget the fact that his group of close friends include: Rzesko, Blago, Daley & all of the other crooked politicians in Illinois.
All he needs is the media that first bashed Hillary, excluded Michigan and Florida primaries, then bashed McCain (while stealing his ideas) & went after someone who had more political experience then him: Palin. The Messiah will be saved.
his wife will be leverage, he will have to give some one up of greater or equal value to his wife. i am sure he can find someone to put in that vacancy. time to play the game guvna.
Is Jesse Jackson Jr. Candidate #5?
If this is true, then Jesse Jackson Jr.’s political aspirations are all but finished: ABC News is reporting that Jackson Jr. is “Senate Candidate #5,” who allegedly offered Rod Blagojevich up to a million dollars in exchange for Barack Obama’s Senate seat. According to the FBI affidavit, Blagojevich "stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH" with something "tangible up front." Jackson Jr. said this morning that federal prosecutors “asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process.” When the press asked if he was Candidate #5, he said, “I don’t know,” and that he was told “I’m not a target of this investigation.”

How the fuck does that happen?
Maybe because Obama is the president???
Lets play a game in which at least one of the contestants will go to jail: It's called pick your favorite Jesse. This whole thing is the best to happen since the G locked up a bunch of crooked lewyers & judges in Greylord! Pat Fitz should have worn a Santa outfit for the press conference!
Gee,
Is it just me, or does it seem like we are all watching a real-life episode of "The Wire"...?
I'm betting "The Gov" never got around to watching the show.
Hehe
They can get a Governor......BUT....They can't get a mayor???? Give me a fuckin break...Daley is the most filthy mayor in America and he can't be caught??? Hired Truck scandal?? Millions in real estate deals?? Millenium Park?? You can't touch this guy??? O'Hare expansion deal??? You can't catch this nitwit on a bug?? C'mon....
A Nigerian eMail has more credibility than any local Democratic politician.
Justice cries out for Daley, Stroger, Blagojevich, Durbin, et al. to be drawn and quartered.
Next up where is the tsa money at the sold airport? Looks like hopefully next change es is gone back to land of milk and homey 007 enjoy your new midnight boss!
So what if Obama and Co. go down criminally and there's urban Unrest? Does that meen that he or anyone else is above the law just because there might be civil disobedience ? What kind of Country is this Now? No wonder it got this way. Nobody was above the law decades ago in the USA, now, I guess politicians and Illegal Aliens are. Urban unrest and riots are what we pay taxes to be protected from, if they happen as a result of Justice being carried out properly again in this Country, so be it. There's Plenty of help for stuff like this. Hopefully NO investigator, U.S. Attorney, lawman, etc; will never back down from doing their Job properly just because adverse consequences to some may occur as a result of the outcome. Our Country will surely join the 3rd World Banana-Republics if Intimidation is feared for seeking the Truth, in investigating and prosecuting Violations of the Laws of Our Country.. Anyone who disagrees, go live elsewhere, this is still the USA, and it's f*ck%d Up because of intimidation by groups who use it as a way to keep laws from applying to them and their causes. And how about some IRS investigations into Crook County, Chicago, and Illinois Politicians? When was the last time anyone heard the IRS indicted a Chicagoland Politician for Income Tax related Crimes? I guess IRS is in bed with them, [the Crook County Politicians], too, cause it has been Decades since IRS did anything other than go after the working slob Joe-Sixpack taxpayers around Crook County. And what about all the businesses employing Illegals ? I guess those laws are there just to be ignored also. Whats' next, we ignore enforcing the laws against everything except Murder, maybe even that? Hopefully everyone will wake up from this nightmare and realize that we can't exist as a country as great as the U.S. if we don't fully and impartially enfoce All our Laws, and get rid of the Laws on the books that are useless and outdated, and are there just for an avenue of Revenue for Politicians.
Shortshanks, you are being painted into the corner, soon, nowhere to go for You!
THIS WORKING NO CLOUT P.O. FROM EDISON PARK SAYS: IN TIME WE WILL ALL BE WISHING IT WAS JOHN MCCAIN WHO WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
You don't have to be John Reid to see through the hurried denials. If you took them at face value, you'd think the politicos in chicago hadn't never even heard of Blogo or his hair.
C'mon, how could ANYONE believe Obama's studdered denial that he had ever spoke with Blogo about his seat? If it was my position, I'd want to be heard as to my replacement. He's not such a great speaker unscripted. Not very believable, either.
Or Jesse Jr's deer in the headlights look as he mumbled about getting legal counsel. Have a nice day, Canidate #5. Too bad Daddy's $1M couldn't buy you a ticket to the Senate.
Think Ralph Kramden going "humina-humina-humina". OR For you young-uns, google Jackie Gleason; or just think of Homer Simpson going "D'oh!" when he's caught and can't think of an excuse fast enough.
This is a wonderful time: having been manipulated by the politicos by a year of campaigning, it fun to watch them s-q-u-i-r-m.
How about a Pulitzer for photography to Sun-Times photographer John H. White for his pic of Blagojevich sneaking out through his back yard this morning.
Note the juxtaposition of the "WARNING/TARGET: RATS" sign on the pole right next to his beady eyes--just like vermin emerging from its hole for cheese.
They should put up the same sign in huge flashing neon on both the LaSalle and Clark sides of City Hall/County Bldg.
Kudos to Mr. White who now owes me $60 for a new dry keyboard.
Fuckin' HYSTERICAL!
I know that Tod and Richie are at the top of our Christmas wish list for being hauled away but if we could add Durbin to the list it would help our spirts. If nothing else Durbin is guilty of 1st degree aggravated stupidity. Just put him inront of a grand jury and have they listen and observe him. Slam dunk case.
Please, Please, Please; if there is a God? Let Daley and Stroger be next. I'm so excited, it feels like Christmas already. The anticipation is killing me! DA DA DA DUMB Daley, Oh, you are so next in line, for my new superhero to bring down: The One- The Only- U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. Stay tuned........

Threaten that cocksucker Harris with 15-20 years of beef injections and see what he has to say.
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FUCK YOU HARRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point it would make Obama look extremely bad, and as if trying to cover up corruption in Chicago/Cook County, Illinois, if he moves out U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in any way.
Im thinking that the Feds will use Patti as a chip in the big game. Maybe goes something like this "Rod, who is going to watch your kids when we indict your old lady?" "Do you want to talk, or do you want your wife to go down too?"
The best is Jesse Jr. having people negotiating One Million dollars for the seat.
Christmas came early!
We need Batman!!!
He later recanted and said, he made a mistake, Obama never talked to Blago. In Chicago, everyone is a crook - Republican Governors as well. Remember the six children killed because of corruption, that was a Republican.
Why is no one talking about John Harris, former high-ranking police official, he got caught too?
Potty mouth Patty...eat your blackened heart out
One has to question why this investigation was halted prematurely? Investigators dream of a target, captured on tape, talking of crimes. If the overtures were out, there is no doubt someone would have come to Blogo with bushels of money, offers of positions for him, consulting jobs for his wife, and/or Christmas donations to the kids' college funds to become a federal senator. With this on-going conspiracy, why wouldn't they let the investigation continue? They may have snared a state senator, a mayor or relative, or even a member of the president elect's transition team. Now we may never know. The DOJ had the opportunity to destroy the entire corrupt IL political machine. Instead they appear to have settled with just wounding the monster by bringing down another sitting governor. What might have been.

We're the laughing stock of the country. This story is EVERYwhere!
Who is going to pay for Blago's defense??
Somehow we are going to be on the hook for this.
If the legislature can get a two thirds majority in both houses to agree... they can call for an immediate election for Senator, and if Blago resigns or is impeached,possibly for governor and maybe someone who is not connected with the Daley crime family.
The we can get someone who might help us.

I’m not necessarily gleeful about Governor Blagojevitch’s arrest, although, in my humble opinion, it’s long past due. I would be gleeful if the investigation led to the arrest of Richard Daley, “hizzoner da mayr” of Chicago, the aldermen of Chicago, and Daley’s puppets in the “Crook” County government. Perhaps if that happened, the men and women who serve as officers in the Chicago Police Department could get a contract, more officers, better equipment, and badly needed support from the city that craps all over them.

Sorry, folks. Sometimes I get carried away.

According to the Times, John Harris ("who thought he was the Governor") has a picture of himself demolishing Miegs in his office. And evidently the entire CTA financing fiasco was a pissing contest between only two people, Harris and Huberman.
Is this what I bust my ass for and pay taxes for...so some prick can control the state and city and use my money to ego trip?
STOP. PAYING. TAXES.
I wonder what Danny Davis was going to give the governor.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU SLEAZY RAT FUCK!
Well, I hope Gov. signs the portability pension act before he resigns. If not, I hope Lt. Gov. Quinn signs his first bill as the new Gov.
Pat Fitz. may Daley be Next? Can we only hope!
I can say one good thing about this. At least the papers will not have us to punch around for a while. tib and times you got a new wipping boy, now go F--- yourselves.
Ryan would have, could have and should have beaten Obama if not for the tribunes aid to Obama. The rest would have been History!!!!! How about how the press crucified Barr Topinka when she ran against Blago for negative campaign ads. Judy Barr was right about calling him corrupt.
Harris was a Daley man until Daley snubbed him and made Ron Huberman his chief of Staff then and only then did he leave Daley for Blago... Could he have been a spy for daley? Possibly, but with Harris ego I doubt it. Also Harris is of Greek descent and made a few bosses who were greek also while on the Department. Need a new greek clout guy....
I will tell you "SHORTSHANKS? NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: He's the mayor of a city named "SIN CITY" and in this dream a mysterious dark figure (insert U.S.attorney here)is hunting him down,in a dark alley,an abondoned/damaged airplane runway/hanger,and just when the Mayor thinks he's gotten away the real "DARK NIGHT" emerge's from behind a large silver colored "BEAN" shaped object and throws the "MAYOR" of "SIN CITY" to the pavement causing the Mayor to chip a tooth in the process,placing a pair of custom chrome plated handcuffs on the Mayor after which the real "DARK NIGHT" then produces an arrest warrant "YOU ARE UNDER ARREST" for criminal activtities too numerous to mention at this time.The Mayor then wakes up in a cold sweat and utter's "IT"S JUST A DREAM, IT"S JUST A DREAM".He then reaches for a bottle of excedrin extra strength.
just remember "what goes around, comes around", "karma", "shit rolls downhill", who's next bitch?
Saying that Blago is more corrupt than Daley is like saying that Madonna couldn't win a blowjob contest.
If you don't think that Obama or Axlerod are involved, check out this site

Actually, Mell got the news during a wake-up call from a top aide. The assistant had gotten a tip from the local police commander that Blagojevich was about to be taken into custody. The commander called the staffer, who called Mell."

I believe that Harris had a hand in brokering the KRONOS swipe machines (punch clocks/ id card reader). Maybe he got himself and Daley a nice kickback since he's related to the company owner?
SCC, did you hear of anything any this?

Newspapers from Sydney to London, Leno, Letterman, Conan, Jon Stewart, Colbert, etc. The Saturday Night Live skits should be hilarious this weekend. Just imagine the SNL guy wearing the Blago wig.
Chicago corruption is an international joke/disgrace.

How in the fuck does the Chicago Tribune have standing to sue for Ryan (the senator who Obama replaced) divorce records, apparently no one on earth has standing to sue for Obama's Birht Certificate?
How the fuck does that happen?
Remember that, when the Chicago Tribune sued for Ryan's divorce decree?
You remember that?
That benefitted Obama DIRECTLY ...
What the fuck is going on here????

Both are public record. Ryan sought to have his divorce papers sealed, he failed. Obama's birth certificate HAS been made public by the State of Hawaii. Obama is a natural born citizen, born in Hawaii. Per US law, both of his parents could have been illegal (they weren't) and he would still be a US Citizen.
Find a new horse to ride, that one is old and tired.
All I can hope is that some how some way they tie Daley into this corruption and that the feds come knocking on his door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She also has said, repeatedly, that georgie boy was a great governor.
She's an example of 'it takes one to know one'.
Yeah, but doesn't downtown look great?
Obama didn't replace Ryan; Obama "replaced" Hull as the Democratic front runner, when Hull fought to keep his divorced records sealed.
On the Republican side Ryan tried the same thing, but his sexcapades divorce records (with Jerri Ryan) are juicier.
Re: 2010 Daley
The correct election years are: 1) 2011 for Chicago Mayor and 2) 2010 for Cook County Board President.
If "you" are tired of the Machine, vote for any candidate who is NOT Democratic.

His birth certificate has NOT been released, he has in fact spent hundreds of thousands of dollars preventing this. What was released was a Certificate of Live Birth, and this was only a copy on a website, about which there are serious questions as to authenticity. The certificate of live birth only documents a birth being reported, has no information such as where, attending physician, time of birth etc. It is not a probative document, and in fact in 1961 the state of Hawaii issued them to document REPORTED births. It is actually quite plausible that he was foreign-born, brought back to Hawaii and the certificate requested.
There is a tie for "Best Post of the Day" today. Northside and Sgt. at Arms, Loyal Order of Racooons.
Keep it up!
At this point it would make Obama look extremely bad, and as if trying to cover up corruption in Chicago/Cook County, Illinois, if he moves out U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in any way.
-----------------------------
Look for Fitzgerald to be "promoted" and a more pliable US attorney installed who will be unable to find any corruption in Chicago.

Blair Hull did try to win the Democratic nomination in 2004 for the US Senate seat which eventually went to Barack Obama. There were allegations of domestic abuse, Hull sought to keep his divorce records sealed, they weren't. Hull did not get the nomination.
There was another Ryan, Jack Ryan, who briefly had the Republican nomination for US Senator in that same election. His ex, actress Jeri Lynn Ryan, alleged that jack forced her to go to sex clubs and to have sex with him in public. End of the senate quest for Jack Ryan.
That left the Republicans without a candidate and the election coming up fast. 86 days before the election the Republicans drafted Alan Keyes to run against the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. We all know what happened then. Keys was overwhelmed and the Obama train was on track.
It is actually quite plausible that he was foreign-born, brought back to Hawaii and the certificate requested.
Yes! Right after his mom was abducted by illegal aliens and taken to Venus (TX) for the hastily-planned birth. Now THAT's plausible.
Obama got elected because the machine is corrupt and he is not ad it is obvious he is not corrupt and there is stench on him, period. Get over it, Obama is not a crook. You should spend more time flooking for ytour fromer co-workers now being featured on American's Most Wanted and thank future prison inmate, Blago for siging into effects laws so that the scum of the earth crooks can't giv their "kids" the guns and knives with which to off you and me. I hope a lot of people go to jail because of Blago, a lot of crooks!!!!

He later recanted and said, he made a mistake, Obama never talked to Blago. In Chicago, everyone is a crook - Republican Governors as well. Remember the six children killed because of corruption, that was a Republican.

______________________________
You'll never find a republican that will say Ryan was a great Gov. In fact most will say he was a piece of shit for what he did. However, blago was touted as the messiah for the scandal ridden office and he's just as bad if not worse than Ryan, not to mention his total failure to the state in general.
Dems bashed republicans for what Ryan did, threw it in our faces and accused us all of being corrupt. Now that the democrat superhero is charged, the cop-out response is everyone in Chicago are crooks. I happen to agree, but every politician in Chicago is democrat including another messiah - Obama.
Nothing to see here folks, move along. No trends here.
HARRIS brought the C.H.R.I.S. computer reporting program to the C.P.D. It was placed into operation on 16 NOV 1998, but crashed that day, for about two weeks. The eventual cost to implement it was in the Millions, waaaaaaay over budget.
When it was finally determined that the program (which D-2a's still use today) was FUBAR, he was physically punched by Townsend (now Dead) inside the Ivory Tower/ (1121) and was then quietly moved to O'Hare to see what he could fuck up, over by 'dere.
I have had to use that fucking C.H.R.I.S. program ever since day one.
Today, however, C.H.R.I.S. seemed a little easier to stomach.
AMF Harris!
"...north side ranger..."
Funniest thing I have read on this site in a long time.
That's right up there with "nice south side neighborhood".
HAH! daley sez "no salt for you, bitches!"
...oh sorry, wrong post.
food for thought...
remember a few years ago when the "g" called shortshanks in for a super secret deposition? remember when some of us mentioned the irony of him telling mara george to stay home and play with her barbie dolls while he took "REAL LIVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION" with him?
sure as a fat lady fell down the back stairs some actionable shit got told... how is it that so many people around daley have been picked off by the fed? daley IS quite possibly cooperating with the fed... they may have him by the short&curlies but he may have played an ace, "fuck with me & mine and you won't get shit else to go on." everybody else that got rolled up probably tried to make a deal, "...i know this & that." the "g" says "yeah, we already know you know this & that, what else you got?" so everybody sitting at the casa de caca federale is screwed & they know it or are hoping to get "taken care of" for not flipping... (sorich & co.) it looks more & more like the ones who didn't flip are just like the aforementioned others... got shit in 1 hand & a wish in the other while realizing shortshanks & his brain trust poured a big jug o' warm sunshine in their asses...
shortshanks is probably running and crying in his sleep only because the general public is now saying what coppers have been saying for years... "hey hold on a second ya l'il greasy short-fingered pick pocket!"
Is Daley a "protected informant"? That would explain a few things. Daley must be worried that his big secret will see the light of day.The Italians and Sicilians will be pissed!Kinda reminds ya of the James "Whitey" Bulger case in Boston.

This could be true santos,laski many alderthieves went to jail but daley nothing why?
"PRESIDENT-ELECT CAUGHT IN LIE
"Obama claims that he knows nothing, has had no contact with Blagojevich regarding Blagojevich's expectatIons that Obama 'play ball,' but tonight ABC _Nightline_ dug up and played news video of Obama's 'senior adviser,' David Axelrod, stating that Obama had indeed spoken with Blagojevich!
"They said that Obama is still denying it..."
12/10/2008 12:32:00 AM
Tonight "The McLaughlin Group" pulled this out in great detail. They showed Obama denying that "we had had" any contact with Blagojevich, then they pulled out the ABC tape of Axelrod, then they played the subsequent denial by Axelrod. "I was mistaken when I said that last month."
Then they played Obama's careful re-parsing. "I did not have any contact..."
This is as bad as Bill Clinton. "It all depends on what your definition of 'is' is."
OBAMA IS DIRTY. OBAMA IS LYING LIKE HELL -- ABOUT HIS PLACE OF BIRTH AND ALL THE WAY OUT FROM THERE.
Hail to the chief...
Barack Obama --
If you want Rod Blagojevich to step down, lead by example. RESIGN -- and you two can take Mayor Daley and Axelrod and Emanuel and Mikva and Rezko and all the rest out the door with you.
Please!
...and that includes Lisa Madigan and her good friend, the Rev. Ira Acree. Photos here --

Anonymous, thanks for the corrections. :)
If Hull and Ryan had been honest about their divorces, we might have one of them as US Senator.
Of course Obama is corrupt! What politician isn't corrupt these days.
While waiting for my dad at Resurrection Hospital recently, I spoke to an older woman (probably twice my age), who was fooled by Blago's good looks, charm and promises. She couldn't believe that I wasn't fooled. :(
Maybe it's time to teach critical thinking, especially in relation to voting. :)
