Corruption
Florida Republicans are always good for a laugh (Katherine Harris, etc.) or terrible scandal that destroys the national GOP during an election year (Mark Foley, etc.), so let’s see what’s going down in the “Alligator State” right now! Oh, look, jeez, the former Republican chair Jim Greer is being investigated for assigning his own company [...]
OMG did you hear what Hillary Clinton said, in Nigeria? “You know we’ve had all kinds of problems in some of our past elections as you might remember. In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for president was the governor of the state, so we [...]
Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, says that two-thirds of New Jerseyites “feel personally embarrassed to live in a state where politicians are pictured in handcuffs.” The remaining one-third are imprisoned politicians. [Quinnipiac University]
Poor Ex-Congressman William “Dollar Bill” Jefferson of Louisiana! All the man did was use his seat on the Ways and Means Committee to secretly broker a deal between a Virginia telecom company and the Nigerian vice president, the $90,000 bribe for which he laundered in emptied food wrappers in his home freezer, and now some [...]
Were you in northern New Jersey this morning? Ha ha, now you are in jail, maybe! Seems the FBI arbitrarily decided that today would be a good day to just arrest every powerful person for their obvious, constant corruption crimes, and so they did, and now most mayors, rabbis, and “men from Brooklyn” are in [...]
OMG IT IS NEWS, TODAY, BUT NOT ABOUT TEA OR BAGS. The disgraced Illinois fucktard Rod Blagojevich would like to appear on a reality show, provided a judge will loosen his travel restrictions. The show is called I Am a Repulsive Human Merkin, Get Me Out of Costa Rica! Should he actually get permission to [...]
Ha! We get a tip that says “oh, good grief” with a link to some page called “Support Burris,” and we figured it was just some dumb petition to try to keep Roland Burris in office even though his 15 minutes as Senate Clown from Illinois are up. But no, Roland Burris’s ambitions appear to [...]
“SCANDAL MUSHROOMS,” reports the Chicago Sun-Times, and indeed, this scandal is off the hook, mushroom-wise. Latest revelation: “The son of embattled Sen. Roland Burris is a federal tax deadbeat who landed a $75,000-a-year state job under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich five months ago.” Well that just shows how very generous the former governor was, giving [...]
Do not despair, jobless people! You’re not alone. Several members of Congress who lost their positions in the 2008 elections have yet to find gainful employment, and perennial loser Alberto Gonzales also remains at loose ends because George Bush was the only person left in America who would hire him.
Roland Burris! This guy! The respected Chicago politician who has his own glamorous mausoleum already built and who repeatedly lost in his many attempts at seeking a public office higher than dog catcher managed to weasel his way into the Senate by calling Harry Reid a racist. As we watched events unfold in December and [...]
Oh dang there goes yet another candidate for President Obama’s cabinet, felled by a cloud of money-scandal! Sarah Palin would have made a wonderful Commerce Secretary — after all, she’s a Republican, and knows all about international trade after her clothes-buying tour of the People’s Republic of Manhattan. However, her prospects have been dashed on [...]
Over the past two months, Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich charmed his way into America’s heart with his nutty appointment schemes, his liberal use of swear words, his employment of dead babies as stage props, and of course his national media blitz this week when the Illinois state legislature was debating his impeachment. He decided to [...]
