It's fascinating how much Gov. Blagojevich sounds exactly like Tony Soprano in those transcripts.
I also like that Rahm took him out. Don't fuck with Rahm.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Wait...what's the story with your governor???
Charlie Crist seems like a big ol' homo, but is finally marrying a woman, who he got engaged to because it made him seem more straight. Can you spell "BEARD" boys and girls?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hmmm, apparently Blag can name Obama's successor even under indictment. He has to be impeached, which couldn't happen until January at the earliest.

Well, it seems unlikely he'll get anything out of naming the senator now, right? So why should he care?
How fast can the legislature impeach him? They hate him, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They're also trying to see if they could call a special election.

Bet they're wishing IL had Recall, now. Although mostly Recall is wacky, too, so maybe not.
