This what I call "basically an UP day" !!
Just a thought that is no way justifies or excuses, but a fact never-the-less.
Better jogging than making gubernatorial decisions
down at 100.
He may be doing the jogging to show any potential cell mates that he's a tough guy and shouldn't be messed with.
Typical Blago -- working all the angles.
A Kitty!
"A few people who work closely with Blagojevich's office say they know that members of his staff have tried to get him to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric. But the governor shows no evidence of having a personality Plan B. "He can't control himself," says Miller. "I've heard people say that on his own staff." A Democratic insider adds, "Rod sometimes just goes out of his way to have a fight, just because he can. It's as though he relishes them." "
I am convinced that it is the jogging that releases too many endorphins into this man's brain that makes him do many of the stupid things he does, so it is only fitting that he jogged while being impeached.
* Please see the George Clooney character in the film Burn After Reading for an accurate portrayal of the Blago mind.
Now, that's a scary time!
He's more than odd duck. There's something significantly weird and out of touch with this newly impeached governor.
I know he should have been a Ritalin kid. He is normally edgy and wired. The past few years has given his body too much to surpress. He can't stop moving because he is afraid of being caught by events he cannot control. His body is expressing physically what his political mind cannot publically say.
Blagojevich isn't crazy. A crazy person would act normal today. The Governor's behavior isn't normal. He is freaking out like a caged badger.
Run Forrest Run.
21-0 yesterday; Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
114-1-1 today
Expansion of medical coverage must not have anything to do with it because; assuming he was seated at the time, Patterson must have voted against the Governor's GRT to fund it. If he is pro health care expansion, but anti tax increase, where does he think the money was going to come from to pay for it.
I suspect they'll send Burris to federal court to have him work to overturn the Senate Rule requiring the signature and seal on the Certificate of Appointment as an unconstitutional extra qualification for becoming a member of the U.S. Senate.
Reid and Durbin will be put in a box to either waive the requirement, or defend in court the 200+ year old rule that has never been waived before; according to Durbin.
This will bring the issues full circle to where it started; with Durbin, immediately after Burris appointment, when he called for a Special Election.
Do you think he will wait for Obama to tell him what to do again if this happens, or will he be able to make a decision for himself?
The protocol was (and still is) that the football is in the custody/control of a an Army officer detailed to the WH and is not brought to the POTUS until the stuff may be going in the fan.
Even though RMN wasn't likely capable of opening it up and starting WW III on his own, they wanted to remove any possibility of such and gave him a "football" without the necessary stuff inside.
The real football stayed with the assigned officers.
very scary, indeed.
If that were ever AA, God forbid, I would have probably taken out half of Asia by accident because I was trying to put some car magazines or some free stuff I lifted off Air Force One into the wrong briefcase.

Hanging Jesse White over a Senate rule is an act of cowardice by Reid and Durbin. Shame on them!

They must have gotten the call from Rahm
The end result is the same, Illinois is burning down.
I know in the final weeks, James Schleisinger, then Sec. of DOD, ordered the Joint Chiefs not to carry out any orders by Nixon unless they had his counter-signature. Whether that was prudence, insubordination or treason is in the eye of the beholder.
Blago going out to jog and saying the press is harrassing him is much like Britney Spears going to Walgreen's at midnight for a candy bar saying she has no privacy........ don't want to deal with the press.... use a treadmill-
