Blago is doing hard time. But he´s a white guy.

I´m sure he´s crying - he´s off the gravy train.

Yep, a DemocRAT´s famous last words:

"accept responsibility for my mistakes"

But no consequences. Big, big difference.

One down, many many more to go...

A power surge in the erie, pa area wiped out my account here, so the iconic lakerman is back with a new screen name.
Some thoughts about Jesse, Jr.
First, the house ethics committee investigated him, and did nothing!
Second, his wife is also under investigation, which I think is new information. (as a chicago alderman, she makes 100,000 dollars plus, per year. And this might freeze her out as a replacement for jr.)
Finally, the investigation must be under the control of a career federal attorney, which keeps Eric Holder out of the mix. And that´s a good thing.

But I still say President Zero will pardon jr. Zero is coated with teflon, and can do whatever he wants to do, without consequence.

A crook just like his father. He does seem to have some mental problems but so do all leftists.

I am willing to bet he gets his full pension whether he is convicted or not. He is a member of the protected class...a black race hustler and a Democrat. He should probabley convert to Islam and be completely untouchable.

So what?

Typical of the breed.

Expect nothing better from any of them.

I assume that the crook was given a "disability" thingy that he was axing for resigning.

The pardon angle is interesting, since the prior congressman for that district, the sleazy Mel Reynolds, was pardoned by Bill Clinton. Illinois is ample proof that the people get the govt. they deserve. Jackson was overwhelmingly reelected, and you wonder whether reelection was to help him plea bargain with the feds, and if it also sweetens his pension. That´s how we roll in IL after all.

Interesting note to add to #11´s post.

Mel Reynold´s is Blago´s Father-in-law.

I can´t believe I actually feel kind of sorry for dopy Rod. He´s paying for the sin´s of all these other guys.

Sorry ,sorry, I was wrong, wrong, wrong.

Mel Reynold´s is the sleazy Black congressman, Dick Mell is Blago´s sleazy white Alderman F-I-L.

I do believe Reynold´s wife was causing some trouble too at that time.

ooops #12---

Blago´s father-in-law´s last name is Mell, no relation, but just as crooked as black Mel Renolds!!!

Wish it was Obama.

Nonetheless, there will still be some of his brethren who will vote for him again....even if his name is nowhere to be found!

Exit stage left amongst flying tomatoes.

Didn´t prevent him from being re-elected though.

Huh? Why would he do this? He had it made. He could just "hold" the seat. Anyone can "hold" the seat! We´ve had practically brain dead people "hold" their seats in congress. We´ve had pedophiles, rapists, embezzlers, liars, charlatans, and even comatose people holding seats in congress for crying out loud- So, I have to guess, someone - Pelosi? - jumped in and gave him a message loud and clear. It does not matter- a new socialist, libtard will be appointed now to replace him- nothing will change.

#1 - good point
#8 - I was going to say a "thug" like his father.

Don´t judge him because he´s black.
In fact, don´t judge him at all.

"You´re all a bunch of racists."
Really?

The investigation of JJ Jr´s spouse does seem to be a new (and about time) revelation. She being the Chicago Alderwoman who lives full-time in DC, flaunting the Chi-Town rules that city employees must live in Chicago. A recent Chicago newspaper pointed out that this woman is the sole person able to get away with this violation - just cuz she´s a Jackson.

I assume he went through the election to assure a dem would replace him. They should have a typical ´do over´ and hold a special election. Take it out of his pension.

I was hoping that JJ would get Mel´s old cell in East Moline.
