Positions open to the highest bidders?

Considering that Dems nationwide normally circle the wagon and around even their most egregious wrongdoers, something stinks to high Heaven in this case where they’re doing their best to toss Blag and make him appear to be a non-credible nutbar.

I’m thinking he has something that’s dangerous to the Obama administration and that they need to discredit him and get him out of the public eye before he can spew.

Ditch the glasses, shave the head, delouse, put on the orange jumpsuit, and bunk with former Governor Ryan.

“Is Blago the long last brother of the Fonz...”

He looks more like Tom Cruise with black hair.

...people from Chicago have proved to be the most likely to have had sex in the shower!

Does the poll say whether they are having sex with another person?
