Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, January 29, 2009

Illinois senators stripped Rod Blagojevich of power Thursday in the final act of a political drama filled with twists and turns that will likely end Blagojevich's political career and hand the reins of state government over to Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn.

The outcome was never in doubt. In fact, Quinn went to the state Capitol earlier in the day in preparation of being sworn in immediately after the vote.

Gone Gone---Bye bye Blago.

Good riddance.

Too bad B.O. wasn't there to vote "present".

In what capacity? Ohhhhh....that's supposed to be funny....ah ha ah ha ah ha.

And off to the fruit factory for a little Thorazine, a long jacket and a little nap...

He could use a haircut, too.

If he has a vacation home in Northern Wisconsin, I hope I see him out jogging.

Obama would have voted present too!

And off to the fruit factory for a little Thorazine, a long jacket and a little nap...

I think all of his crazy behavior can be explained by his attempts to set up an insanity defense in the federal trial. He knows that he got caught red-handed.

Not after his speech today in his defense--Blago is really a crook and not insane at all except he thought he could get away with it.

He sure prepped his Book Deal well.

You are right on that Many--

Hey maybe he can go into radio--from prison!

Can he get a book deal if he goes to prison?

He sure prepped his Book Deal well.

#11 | Posted by Manypaths

bingo. but he won't be going to prison.

his speech today was to tell them what he told them. 'drag my ass to federal court and i'm gonna name names', and some of 'em are big names nowadays. he knew the gov-ship was sunk as soon as he was caught.

they will decide that it is a waste of taxpayer money to persue it and he will write a book called, 'Hair today, Gone tomorrow' and make a gillion dollars. Eventually, he will be left making commercials for Crazy Eddies Mattress Warehouse and spend all his money on hair treatment and hookers.

lolololololol

Crazy Eddies Mattress Warehouse lolol

hair treatment and hookers. where do I sign up?

lolololololol

"hair treatment and hookers. where do I sign up?"

Boy hookers? Your a repub right? Not saying, just saying...Third stall on your right...

What a whiiiiiiner.

Instead of making his case not to be impeached in front of the Illinois legislature, he makes the rounds on tv shows like "The View" and pleads his innocence. Give me a break.

Bah bye, Blago.

One less crook in Illinois politics.

Thank goodness! And don't let the bleepin' door hit you in the bleepin' a** on your way out of Springfield, Blago! Good RIDDANCE!!!!!!

Can't say I'll be surprised when he gets off with no criminal charges. Just the way it is I guess.

Nobody is above the law, except politicians.

is what he did really worse than the rest of the people in office?

Sen. sell votes all the time.

#13 | Posted by Lipzoidial

Very funny there Lip...

Almost as funny as Obama today with his angry voice how he was mad the corporate guys gave out bonuses that wer in the bailout.

What the funny part was is that Geithner was standing next to him.

Geithner was the recepient from Citi almost $500,000 for severance after he ran the company into the ground.

Ha ha ha---

Obama was shocked to hear that "there was gambling going on"....

Don't tell me he tried to leave through the window again?

"Geithner was the recepient from Citi almost $500,000 for severance after he ran the company into the ground."

That's all? That's chump change in today's corporate America. McCain advisor Carly Fiorina got about 20 million when she ran her company into the ground.

Ha! Funny wis...
Blago had his press conference outside his house after he got home just now. I feel bad for his daughters. What scum...

"Er, that was the woman that followed her."

Er...no.

Carly Fiorina, who walked away when she left Hewlett-Packard with $45 million including a $21.5 million severance package.

thinkprogress.org

Eew! Aaugh! Someone mentioned Carly Fiorina!

Rogers - can we fumigate the board, please?

An exorcist wouldn't hurt, either.

Don't tell me he tried to leave through the window again?

#25 | Posted by wisgod

FF!!

And nice deflection to Carly. She doesn't count with Barry..

The point in that Obama was shocked that corporate people get severance bonuses and he was standing next the Geithner--who is a tax cheat and liar and got 500,000 severance from Citi who is on the bailout payroll..

Like Geithner would have ever paid that tax bill if Obama hadn't hooked him up in his administration. He wouldn't have...

Now there is something where the mantle in the WH is damaged --seen during the press conference today??

Danforth, are you going to address the price of HP stock when she left, or just the Contract she got from the Board of Directors? Lord knows, Null is M.I.A.

"got 500,000 severance from Citi who is on the bailout payroll.."

Chicken feed for corporate America. At least he wasn't shameless enough to accept a 40 million severance package like Carly.

" Lord knows, Null is M.I.A."

Well, Danforth already refuted your point that it was her successor that got the big package. I don't really give a damn what the stock price was. She was fired and enriched at the same time. How would you like to suck at your job and be given millions to go away? Nice work if you can get it.

I'm sorry Null. For a minute I thought you had posted something about Carley running the Company into the ground. As your the DR Left nut, Hans would say.....oops.

McCain advisor Carly Fiorina got about 20 million when she ran her company into the ground.

#26 | Posted by nullifidian

"Danforth, are you going to address the price of HP stock when she left"

Why? You made a claim, and you were wrong. I refuted it, posted the article, and linked to proof. It's up to you to admit you were wrong and retract your error.

minus your.

I refuted it, posted the article, and linked to proof.
Posted by Danforth

What was the Stock price?

Danforth, maybe you are confused by my dialog with Null. He stated she ran the company into the ground. I don't care what stock options she got as part of the severance. OK?

"I don't care what stock options she got as part of the severance."

Then don't post bullshit.

I wasn't in your discussion, and I don't give a shit what the stock price was. I merely pointed out your error. Now grow up and retract if you have the nads.

"I'm sorry Null. For a minute I thought you had posted something about Carley running the Company into the ground. "

That might be a little hyperbole. The important point is that she got fired.

This is my response to Null's original post, Danforth.

Er, that was the woman that followed her. Check the stock price when she left.

#27 | Posted by wisgod

And if you can't figure out my point, put down the bottle and step away.

Why are you so obsessed with the stock price? The point is, she was fired for poor performance, and walked away with a 40 million plus package.

I was addressing your error in posting that she ran the Company into the ground, for the love of fuck.
Why the hell are you and Danforth arguing the issue?

"I was addressing your error in posting that she ran the Company into the ground"

Then you should have only posted that half of Null's post. Your error was posting both halves.

Stripped of power?

Well, at leat he still has all his hair.

Wonder if anything he's done will lead to jailtime?

Wonder if Blago's blatent pay fer play shenanigans are all the FBI found out after investigating fer over a year.

Wonder if he's being made an example of here in order to convince folks that his type of politicking fer personal gains is really more of an exception than a rule.

Naw, couldn't be.

Be Well.

"I was addressing your error in posting that she ran the Company into the ground"

That's not an error. That's a figure of speech. "Running a company in the ground" is not a technical phrase that can be precisely defined. It's used as a synonym in the industry for poor performance.

Liberal jealousy of high-paid executives can't even keep its way out of a Blagojevich thread. If it isn't tax money, what the fuck do you care?

In other news, here's a pretty good Blago cartoon:

blogs.chron.com

This is why null likes fuzzy ambiguous words and phrases -- it gives him a lot of wiggle room and an 'out' when he gets challenged.

That's also why he can't stand literalists. They won't let null to the same with their words, no matter how much he wants to distort them and fit them into his predetermined mold. LOL

Then you should have only posted that half of Null's post. Your error was posting both halves.

#47 | Posted by Danforth

I'm done with both of you. This half, that half, figure of speech. I had more respect for both of you....

Wis, don't go all Goatman on us. You're usually not the one to engage in hairsplitting, nitpicking semantical debates.

I thought my response was pretty fucking clear. Why Danforth stuck his beak into it is beyond me. If it makes you two seem bigger, God Bless.

"Why Danforth stuck his beak into it is beyond me"

You weren't specific, asshole. If you're looking for fault, check your mirror.

You should have only posted that half of Null's post.

Source your posts properly.

You seem to be in the middle of an awful lot of misunderstandings lately. Maybe the common denominator is you. It also appears that you like to tell people how to post.

"You seem to be in the middle of an awful lot of misunderstandings lately"

Still smarting from your mistake and trying to pin it on someone else?

Typical.

Go fuck yourself.

Why do pussies always blame others for their mistakes?

Actually, I am not the first user here to post a little more from the article at the top of their own thread. So, really, it wasn't my mistake - it was yours. And then you made a really big deal out of it. Just like you're doing here.

You should work in government. You always seem to know how everyone else should be doing things.

Fucking thin skinned S.O.B., now that he has to spend more time defending his boy and and his half-assed stimulus plan. Or he's just pissed off he passed on the Amtrack stock purchase.

"I am not the first user here to post a little more from the article at the top of their own thread. "

What kind of defense is that? Others made the same plagiaristic mistake, so it's okay for you?

You'll do well in court!

LOL. Null calling me a stalker when there was a whole week that his first post of the day as an attack on me and still does so ocaisionally. I respond to ONE of his posts and he thinks I'm a stalke.

You crack me up, nullbrain.

Grow a brain and get over yourself.

Oh yeah, quit stalking me. LOL

Wis, don't go all Goatman on us.

No, don't. Pull a null and make sure that way everything you say can have at least 300 interpretations. That way even sponges and null are always correct and can never be wrong. LOL

It's not a mistake. It's sharing more relevant pieces of the article without creating a top portion of the thread that is so long that everyone will scroll past it.

Like I said, you seem to be in the middle of every petty misunderstanding on this site that gets discussed for hours. The common denominator is you - which means you are either a know-it-all, or a piddling, irrelevant wanker. Probably both.

LOL Comment on something here and thinks you're a troll.

Why don't you double your vocabulary and learn a new word, null? After all you do have two halves of a brain (albeit quite tiny) don't you? That's one word for each side.

Left side: Troll
Right side: ???

Anyone wanna help nullie baby out over here? LOL

Probably both.

Or someone who is constantly bitch slapped by his wife for talking out of school, and feels like a bigger man here.

"It's not a mistake."

Not sourcing other's writing is called plagiarism. Look it up in your legal dictionary.

I agree, that was pretty funny.

Danforth, I don't care if you think I plagiarized. Call the police if you want to. The only person who has ever been confused by that is you. And my guess is you weren't confused, you were just hoping for another time-consuming, meaningless argument.

And you've succeeded. Congratulations.

Something you need to apologize for, Mr. Lack of Comprehension?

Danforth is like a one-legged man at a square dance. Initially you feel sorry for him, but after awhile you wonder why the fuck he was on the floor, in the first place.

Too funny.

First Plagiarizing Joe doesn't source his post, then tries to contradict a first-hand account with a lie, then when the original statement is proven true, tries to move the goalposts. Now, he's smarting to the point he has to come after me.

I come here for the comedy.

So how much did Carly Fiorina get as a severance package, Wis?

First Plagiarizing Joe doesn't source his post...

You are a fucking retarded fly, that can't help hitting his little head on the swatter.

"You are a fucking retarded fly, that can't help hitting his little head on the swatter."

Why? Just like you, I can claim I was talking about something else.

Danforth, no discussion with you can involve the word "smart." If anything hurts, it's watching you stoop to new levels of pettiness I never knew existed. Calling me a plagiarist for posting more of the article at the top of the thread is laughable, though not unexpected from you. You probably place your neighbors under a citizens arrest for jaywalking.

Carly is nothing to Obama or to this thread

The point is that Geithner got 500k from Citi.

And Obama today was "Shocked" that companies on the bailout plan got bonuses. And Geithner was standing right next to him.

That was hilarious!

The era of transparency and change--yup!

Good God, I'm almost drowning from all the tears of the Republicans and faux Libertarians.

I'm tired of babysitting. Outta here.

My original post to Null stands. Look around...your friends aren't even dumb enough to defend your stupidity. Are you having a pissing contest with JeffnDenmark and Buffalo_Bob for the January "Dumb fuck Award"?

The point is that, that is chump change.

Yeah chump change from the one who proclaims change and hired the asshole as the Sec of Treasury.

And we never put them in charge of the Treasury Departmant. What's the matter with all you Independents, Null?

P.S. Excuse the spelling. I've silled a bevarage in my ketboart, after Danforth signesd offf like a pusssy.

Bwahahahaha!

President Hussein spent almost a $1,000,000,000 dollars getting elected.

He spent $150,000,000 to have the Hansons play pop music for his kids.

All this during really rough economic times.

For him to stand up there and castigate anyone for spending is, Blago like, crazy.

The sheer balls of it is breath taking.

"The point is that, that is chump change"

The point is, Geither's a crooked tax cheat.

BTW, what cabinet post is Carly being appointed to?

Commondense strikes out again.

WIS - and this how they act after their man has WON the spot in the White House for at least the next 4 years!! Now I know why these guys were so inexplicably miserable for the past 8 years. Much of it was self-inflicted, it is now painfully obvious.

#92 | Posted by nullifidian

Null--you are soo funny--and not just your looks.

But how would you know that these are Repub CEO's?

And I was complaining about the congress spending and sent too many emails to count to Bush to veto the shit.

And you were complaining too about repub spending.

So why aren't you complaining when that one does it?

Blago is gone---that's how the dems roll. Cons would have run him for Pres in 2012.

He'll join Alcee in the House. His career ain't over. It's just taking a new turn to be closer to O.

A wrong has been righted, this is good for the ppl.
