Right, and who he is still marrying because ...who knows who could run for Pres or VP in 2012?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

That's why we hope that he can be convinced to step down from the position before he names a senator.

I could not think of a better point-man for Obama than RE, although I have to admit, he scares me more than a little.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Speculation was that Charlie announced the engagement to have a shot at the VP with McCain and now is going through with the wedding. I would have thought that it was laughable that McCain would have chosen him with his gay reputation, but considering how carefully they vetted Palin it could have happened.
I haven't seen any credible press that our governor is in fact gay. Just the fact that he has a 100% gaydar reaction from just about everyone. We disagree about just about everything, but generally I don't think he is the worst person at the job. Not particularly corrupt, just orange.
I was kinda sad that McCain didn't choose him because they looked so good together. [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
they looked so good together.
... and here I was just wondering if "orange" meant something political and figurative. Nope.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Quinn seems to think there's another way to take the appointment away from Blago in 3 days. [link]
