Baby Killer Kirk

ArchPundit August 24, 2010 No Comments

LOL.  Illinois Review is very upset with Mark Kirk:

Despite the base of the Republican Party and the Party’s platform itself being staunchly prolife, Congressman Mark Kirk, also the IL GOP’s nominee for U.S. Senate, continues to hold firm on his commitment to despicable and up-until-now non-productive human embryo experimentation.

This response sent out by Kirk campaign to the U.S. district judge’s decision to strike down President Obama’s stem cell executive order is disappointing and disturbing, because it assures us where a U.S. Senator Kirk would be if presented with a decision on the ever-important issue of the sanctity of life.

I hear there’s a pro-life libertarian to vote for….

Ditto To Rich

Rich points out a fantastic column by Phil Kadner and that he agrees with every word.  I’ll excerpt a slight different portion though:

I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: Almost everyone close to Blagojevich in his administration has gone to prison or will in the near future.

The former governor is a crook.

Fitzgerald is not.

If you can’t choose the right side in this fight, you deserve the government you get.

Amen.  The Government could improve their case. The jurors pointed out the organization issues and that is a legitimate criticism.  However, the US Attorney’s office got 11 jurors to agree on the most serious charges.  One juror doesn’t appear to have been moveable.  But Patrick Fitzgerald is not the problem here.  He is a part of the solution and deserves immense credit for what he has done for the State of Illinois.

On the other hand, Rod Blagojevich is a crook and a sociopath.

Continuing the Stupid or Evil Theme

Joe Berrios!

Fox News Chicago and the Better Government Association team up on an investigation of Joe Berrios and his county employees golfing with property tax lawyers instead of finishing their appeal work.

Those delayed tax bills cost our schools and local governments more when they have to borrow money to meet operating costs.

The Choice

Kent Redfield is spot on here:

Kent Redfield,an emeritus professor at the University of Illinois Springfield and director of the Sunshine Project, a nonprofit campaign contribution database connected to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, said it would be more useful to Brady’s campaign to frame it as an issue with Quinn’s managerial skills than his ethics. “It’s much easier to make the case that Quinn is incompetent [than corrupt.] … That Quinn’s a nice person but he isn’t up to the job is an easier sell.”.

So at this point in the campaign, Quinn’s strategy appears to be confuse the Brady campaign with crazy behavior so they cannot decide whether to paint him as incompetent or corrupt.  Pure genius.

At this point in an election having to choose between the narrative of incompetent or corrupt is exactly where you want to be.

Also, see the Daily Show clip below and come up with your own Team Stupid and Team Evil skits for Quinn.

And to be sure, the e-mails are pretty penny ante stuff.  Definitely a violation, but hardly a serious one and Stermer reported himself.  The question is how you can be so stupid to fire the IG while all of this is happening.

Fox News Attacks Largest Non-Murdock Stock Holder

Without pointing out so much that he’s just that

What’s fascinating about this is the total rubes following Fox around buying this BS.  It’s pretty obvious Roger Ailes thinks his viewers are just there for him to manipulate all the while Murdock and crew hobnob with teh muslim.

Rod On the Daily Show

Tougher than the last. Rod looks like a buffoon. Nothing new. Jon said he was either a seriously wronged man or a sociopath.

I Bet You Voted for Obama

The whole thing is ugly, but let me point out my favorite part in the absurdity.  Some assclown yells “I bet he voted for Obama!”.

No fucking shit he probably voted for Obama.  Manhattan voted for Obama with 82 percent of the vote and the guy is an African American–part of a group that voted over 92 percent for Obama.  You think he might have voted for Obama?  If that’s a problem for you geniuses you might think about going somewhere where the overwhelming majority of people didn’t vote for Obama which is far away from Ground Zero.

The second best part is where they call him a coward.  After he wdes through an incredibly hostile crowd.

Then they insist that they aren’t racist after this and accuse CNN of spinning it as if they are racist because of the outburst.  Of course, there’s no other fucking way to spin a bunch of white goons screaming and crowding a black guy before even asking what the fuck he thinks.  Then someone starts yelling about how Muhammed is a pig.  What relevance this has to a guy who isn’t a Muslim is completely fucking unknown other than he’s a scary brown dude.

This is nothing more than an ugly fucking mob of dumb asses who apparently have never had a Muslim friend. Which in 2010, I”m baffled how people still exist in such a state when they live anywhere, but a small town.  Then again, if scary brown people make you pee your pants, what the fuck are you going to do?

The Man Who Shunned Reality

It’s hard to tell if Scott Lee Cohen deserves the Blagojevich award for reality denial or Rod Blagojevich deserves the SLC award for the same:

“I’m not ruling myself out as coming back because I will be vindicated in this case,” the 53-year-old Democrat said on “Fox News Sunday” today. “We’re significantly closer to vindication now.”

He can’t run for an state office of any sort so this would mean a run for Congress, Senate, or President.  Now, I’m pretty sure he’s going to end up in a prison for a fairly long time given what we know about the jury now.  It might take another trial or two, but he’s going to prison.

Anyone who thinks he’s plea bargain is about as deluded as Rod Blagojevich.

The Clown show is going to the Daily Show tonight so we’ll see if Jon tears him apart after a fairly softball interview last time.  Admittedly, part of the issue was that Blagojevich went for small details which Stewart wasn’t ready for, but my sense is Stewart doesn’t like to be caught off guard and won’t let it happen a second time.  You can suggest questions here.

Good Luck To D-Lee

He’s been a class act while on the Cubs and will be missed.

No more Cubs blogging until I can express without multiple curses how bad they are this year.
