The problem with Blagojevich is that I believe he was planning on bigger and better things (like a President run at some point), so this "scandal" has really thrown a wrench into his plans.

Of course I don't think bigger and better things are possible, but by resigning or running away, it will make him look guilty and will most defiantly be little chance of him moving on to bigger & better things - and the only hope (small one now) that he has is to deny & fight back.

Jim Dandy: ROTFLMAO!!!!

Artful Dodger: Not only was he one of your best Presidents,he appreciated a good cigar,a mans man

Tuesday: Karma came around on Richardson for throwing the Clintons under the bus.

Tuesday: who knows....she just dissapeared, saying she couldn't get the internet where she is or something like that, but no doubt a certain person will put us all straight LOL...can't mention names on a public board, hahahaha

Tuesday: I was meaning AD.....using the word "BLACK".....SHE REPORTED ME TO THE GLOBS ONCE FOR IT, WHEN i WAS REFERRING TO THE nz FOOTBALL TEAM.... They are called the "all blacks"....oops caps LOL she was paranoid about colour ROFL

Artful Dodger: arent you lucky that Srnity isnt here any longer......she would be up you like a rat up a drain pipe LOL...talking about "blacks" like that

Czuch: Blimey .. If politicians stopped taking 'bribes' there might be some actual honest.. ish government.

Czuch:i don't know, they already had him under investigation for other stuff, now everyone has abandoned him,His party shuns him like he has leprosy, the media has him guilty and the feds want him bad enough, then he's going down , fair or not.

Tuesday: What is it called when you discount someone who is a qualified candidate simply because you dont like the guy who nominated him?

BTW, I think this guy bloggo, or whatever his name is, is not going to be found guilty. In politics there are always some form of payment for everything. It doesnt have to be money, it can be clout or even a meeting can be considered "payment" of a kind.

When you are considering an appointment among many qualified people, its part of normal politics to get something in return for it... you pat my back I pat your back, who can pat your back the best?

But it doesnt mean that he waqs actually going to accept cash money from the highest bidder and give them the nomination?

Anyway, I hope the FBI has him actually accepting a true bribe and acting upon it, or else it is all circumstantial conjecture, and if they dont have him red handed taking bribe money, then I think it will just be another bad example of politics as usual!

Vikings: A very stupid power thing. We've had interpol for ages.

(V): It's a power thing

Vikings: They were not talking to each other!!!!! Where is the intelligence in that!

(V): security depts. FBI, CIA, etc... were not cooperating with each other with information, now they all answer to homeland security and information is centralized and more accessible between law enforcement agencies

Vikings: Yeah well, we've seen over here politicians make new jobs for the boys.... Half the time they are just duplicating other peoples roles and are just high paid 'front men' so that the government looks like it's doing something.

(V): It was a new cabinet after 9?11

Vikings: I think the FBI and CIA have been doing the job of defending your country's borders for years. "Homeland secretary" is just another 'title'.

Charles Martel: A 90 year old!!! what happened to retirement!!!!

Tuesday: just a guess but I think Homeland secretary is so low because it is a relatively new post

boy, imagine that, only in America,A Klan organizer 4 steps from being president, in this day and age... oh again, sorry a FORMER klan organizer..

Artful Dodger: Thats hilarious, The senate pro tempore is the 90 year old Kleagle from West Virginia, oh sorry...EX Kleagle

Artful Dodger: Somehow I don't think having anyone lower then no.6 as your pres.

Charles Martel: I saw an American on TV last night pleading for us British to come and take over the USA again. Her words were that the USA had got the democracy thing wrong and needed retraining!!
