Chicago Politics, Down and Dirty

[Congressman Billybob]

This column is really nasty. Skip it if you are squeamish. But this is sadly educational. These men make the Sopranos sound like choir boys.

Is this for f***ing real?

I cant f***ing believe they talk like that...

[formerlytempaussie]

Billybob, thanks for posting that.

My goodness, we are ruled by morons, idiots and people who have absolutely no moral basis in their lives.

These guys are worse than the Mafia.

[Philo1962]

I think this was on Daily Kos a couple of weeks ago, Congressman. Have you been moonlighting on us?

[TheWasteLand]

And people wonder why Washington is broken.

[Lucky9teen]

It reads just like a hollywood movie script....sad it’s true.

[missnry]

THIS IS JUST CHICAGO HYPERBOLE! BLAGO AND RAHM WERE JUST JOKING AROUND! REALLY! JOKE, HA HA!

[jimt]

Sounds like two guys who don’t like each other very well. It also sounds like Emmanuel wasn’t offering anything in the way of favors (or cash) for the seat.

I appreciate your point about the profanity, but perhaps Blago earned a bit of it ?

[browardchad]

Is there a link to the original transcript?

Thanks.

[Congressman Billybob]

No, I haven't clicked on Daily Kos for about a year. This transcript was sent to me by a friend in Washington whom I know to be trustworthy.

UNF***INGBELIEVABLE!

[altsehastiin]

This is a work of fiction that appeared on Kos awhile ago.

[Cicero]

Thanks. Great post. That really is a hoot!

[Senator John Blutarski]

Mr Emmanuel urgently requires professional psychological care.

[Congressman Billybob]

Since the US Attorney has publicly released this transcript, I'm sure it can be found. I got it from a reliable friend, and I won't link to that friend.

Holy crap! This is satire, right? If it’s for real then Rahm doesn’t belong anywhere near the White House. He belongs in the backroom of a strip joint cutting deals with street thugs.

[Lancey Howard]

It’s funny. I listen to these two big-mouth mice and laugh.
I feel like reaching out and pinching their little heads off like bloated ticks off my dog’s ass.

[OB1kNOb]

This isn’t a real transcript is it? The Onion? Please tell me this is not a real taped conversation between these two thugs. Seriously.

[Williams]

If it’s real the part with Emmanuel threatening to get Blago indicted at the end is pretty scary. What does he know of a criminal nature that he is otherwise covering up unless it suits his political purposes? I know these guys operate this way, the dem party is a real mafia and people are afraid to cross them in the areas they control.

Still wonder if this is real.

[Congressman Billybob]

Where has this been exposed as a fiction? Let me know. If so, I owe a lot of people a major apology. I look forward to hearing from you, I think.
