Stuff that stinks

I can't get worked up enough about it to follow the story closely, but U.S. Attorney Pat Fitzgerald, every Dem's favorite fed when he was trying to nail Cheney and did nail Scooter, has now nailed the Dem governor of Illinois, who was trying to turn a buck by selling off the Senate seat once occupied by Obama. Rod, the Dem gov whose surname I haven't bothered learning how to spell, has a rug on his head resembling Rick Perry's. Rod and Ricardo seem like guys who'll try to use their offices for personal advantage, although Rod is flagrant about it. By the way, the Alaska gov, aka Trig's mom, also knows how to use her office to her advantage. It's probably a safe bet there are more corrupt state governors than honest ones. The ones who aren't trying to make a dishonest buck are running with whores or some shit.

The Republicans are getting damp in the underwear over the case, since they're hoping they can establish a link between Obama and Rod. In case anyone hasn't noticed, Republicans like to live in the past... they're still longing for the good old Reagan days, which were folded up and stuck between the pages of history books two fucking decades ago. The Illinois scandal has them dreamin' about the glory days of Whitewater and Vince Foster. Visions of Dem scandals are dancing like sugarplums in their heads, a seasonal reference. No one cares about Rod except assholes who listen to AM radio or regularly read blogs like Little Green Footballs and Newsmax. But let 'em have their dreams - they don't have much else these days.

The news lost excitement after the election. Even Trig's mom was forced to go back to her day job, so I was surprised to see a few new blog entries about Joe the Plumber, who got some attention for criticizing the man responsible for his few minutes of fame. Joe, who shouldn't be mistaken for a Nobel laureate, was disgusted with Speedbump's support for federal bailouts and behind-the-scenes campaign stuff. Joe probably needs to think about why he was riding on Speedo's campaign bus to begin with. It doesn't surprise me that Joe thought Trig's mom was the real deal though, since he looks like the stereotypical horny bubba who'd kill for a seat on Wondermom's bandwagon. Fuck that loser, too.
