Blagojevich Wins Hack of the Year Award
The 2008 Political Hack of the Year Award goes to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Competition was fierce and there were so many deserving recipients like Massachusetts Senator Jim Marzilli, who was arrested for aggressively hitting on random women last April. His defense was bi-polar disorder by the way. The disease excuse cost Marzilli the award due to its lack of originality.
Then there was Senator John Edwards. He cheated on his cancer-stricken wife and even fathered an illegitimate child. The judges gave him big points in the douche bag category but alas it was not enough to get past Blago.
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer tried to make a run for it with the classic “get caught with a hooker” gambit. Like with Jim “The Perv” the judges were un-swayed by Spitzer’s weak efforts.
Rep. Barney Frank helped pass the Bailout Bill despite the fact his former boyfriend was an official for Fannie Mae. The judges gave Frank zero points for screwing up their 401k.
Senator Chris Dodd also helped pass the Bailout Bill which helped out Countrywide, the company he got V.I.P. loans from under the “Friends of Anthony (FOA)” program. Dodd didn’t score well either in the judges’ eyes.
They all tried their best but in the end one man stood out among the recipients for the 2008 Political Hack of the Year Award: Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Not only did Blago make a brazen attempt to sell Barack Obama’s former Senate seat to the highest bidder, to Jesse Jackson’s son no less, but he sealed the deal with his admission that he is in fact…
Janet Reno!
Duh Duh Duh!

Chris -You’ve proven that your on par with Rush Limbaugh and his ilk by judging this poor man based upon circumstantial evidence alone. There are perfectly good explanations for everything he’s been accused of doing. Once again, you’ve taken statements out of context. Get your facts straight before you go around maligning yet another fine Servant of the People. Shame on you.

Janet Reno is quite the fetching woman.
Women want to be her, men want to be with her.
Must be that hair.

Yes I feel really really bad for making light of a politician’s downfall and I realize that doing so tears apart the fabric of this great nation.
Shame on me.

What is the fabric of this great nation, anyway? Polyester? Who cares if you rip polyester?

It once was that high tech Dupont stuff, but since we’ve bought the banking, housing, and auto industries, we can only afford the crap made in China.

What is more messed up, the stuff the hacks try to pull or the fact there are so many of them in power?
I’ll give this lassiez-faire approach to politics by most citizens another decade then I’m creating a start-up that manufactures pitchforks and torches to serve what will be a severely hungry market.
Literally and figuratively
