Grill me if you must: I think that Blago looks impressive, eloquent, believable!

[SuperTrouper]

He is now attacking the Illinois House with populism! :wow:

[firedupdem]

1. No grill but Blago is bullshitting right now. He's a very crooked guy. n/t

[SuperTrouper]

2. I know, even Dillinger and Al Capone were impressive. What a shame that Blago is crooked

[Critters2]

14. Yeah, Jesse James was a populist, too. I'm sure that was great comfort

to the bank tellers looking at the barrel of his gun.

[babylonsister]

3. Funny thing is, he's just been impeached because he's a flim-flam

man. Who ya gonna believe?

[Uzybone]

4. What a fraud this guy is

But he does it well. I can see how he won the governorship.

[firedupdem]

5. he's always been like this! I grew up in Illinois and still have family

there. This is how he rolls!! Why did he tote these sick people out on stage with him? Jeez...this guy

[theoldman]

6. So did Hitler.

How about Reagan? He was a good liar too.

[WeDidIt]

7. Illinois people know the fucker for the fraud he is

He's bloviating.

[camera obscura]

8. I do too but then I realize it has nothing to do with the case... he's a master BS artist

I keep finding myself going along with what he says until I realize it's totally irrelevant.

[firedupdem]

9. LOL!! You are so right! I'm used to his bullshit.....what the hell is

he even talking about right now? LOL!!

[SuperTrouper]

10. He is a male Medusa. He casts a spell on you with BS

[firedupdem]

11. He's reciting more poetry! His parents didn't spank his ass when he

was growing up. Why did he tote those sick people out there! OMG!!

[Withywindle]

12. He's got balls of titanium, I'll give him that.

Standing up there nattering about health care, when he tried to shake down a goddamn CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

[Vinnie From Indy]

13. Amen to that!

[wndycty]

16. Actually he calls it Testicular Virility. . .seriously

:kick:

[polichick]

15. He's like the bullshit artist in the high school cafeteria.

[FrenchieCat]

17. Looks like you are being Bamboozled.......

into believing the Okey Doke! :rofl:

[HughMoran]

18. I got the coals!

:evilgrin:

[Shakespeare]

19. He looks completely insane. n/t

[SuperTrouper]

20. One Flew over Blago's Nest1 He looks good but insane.

[Jennicut]

21. He is straight out of that book. His eyes looked crazed.

[Occam Bandage]

22. It's a good thing that charismatic leaders are always upright and trustworthy.

Yep.

Can't think of one who wasn't.

[ddeclue]

23. He sounded ridiculous to me....made Nixon sound reasonable...

I was waiting for him to say "the people have to know that their Governor is not a crook"....


:eyes:

[davsand]

26. Capitol Fax has the Blago + Nixon link:

[Alexander]

27. Is that really Blago and Nixon?

Blago's hairstyle sure hasn't changed much in 30 years.

[davsand]

28. He doesn't make any claims about it,.

I dunno for sure if it is a photoshop or not. Here is the page it comes from. What do you think?


:shrug:

[bottomtheweaver]

24. That's how it sounded to me.

Heard it on NPR. Sounded brilliant, and based on what I've seen these last eight years, entirely plausible. If the MSM is pushing a story, you know it's a big fat lie.

[Danger Mouse]

25. Yech.

[Unsane]

29. It's a shame he's embroiled in all this. He could have been a national player.

[Occam Bandage]

36. I don't think so. He's an absolutely incompetent Governor.

His White House dreams stalled out for good around three years ago.

[cali]

30. He looks like he's in a manic cycle to me.

delusions of grandeur, inappropriate behavior, pressured speech. The guy is nutso, and it's just sad that anyone would find this bizarro performance impressive.

[IsItJustMe]

31. Same old game, different players. Bush demonized Saddam as being nuts, and then we invaded Iraq.

Now we demonize Blago, then we can throw him under the bus without giving him a fair trial and impeach his ass in a political witch hunt lynch mob herd mentality.

But it must be OK, because Keith and Rachal are doing it.

It's funny how so called Liberals are always ready to eat their own, but never strike back at the people who are really harming this country.

I am not saying that Blago is a saint, but there are degrees of culpability and corruption and compared to Bush and the Republicans, he is a saint, and a progressive one at that.

Free health care for kids, free transportation for Seniors, one of the highest minimum wage laws in the country, no toll roads. I really don't get the vitriol.

[cali]

32. I'm not demonizing him. I don't particularly care whether he stays or goes

I'm simply stating what I observed. He may be a great guy, but yesterday he looked like many people I've seen in a hypomanic state.

[ClarkUSA]

33. I'm looking forward to his trial and future imprisonment... with zero chance of a POTUS pardon

I hope Fitz nails Blago's hide to a wall.

[opihimoimoi]

34. He is a BULLY.....of the worst kind......a SERIAL BULLY

[Avalux]

35. You are witnessing a psychopath in action.

Calm, cool, collected and yes - charismatic. 'Normal' people would be emotionally distraught dealing with the same circumstances but not Blago; he is getting off on it. He's quite a piece of work.

[AtomicKitten]

37. Often insane people do appear normal. Scratch the surface and they get squirrelly. n/t
