The Audacity of...well Audacity

Ok, hot off the press, this year's Idiot of the Year is Illinois governor Rod "I'm Innocent" Blagojevich! There was never any competition really, but today, said Idiot really raised the bar by appointing former state Attorney General Roland Burris to file President-elect Obama's senate seat. Well Blago has taken political corruption to new heights in trying to sell the senate seat. Even though the FBI has him on tape he's denying everything. (Kinda like former Congressman William "Cold Cash" Jefferson from Louisiana who was narrowly defeated by a Repugnican in a 60% democratic district after the feds found $90,000 in marked bills in his refrigerator (the people of New Orleans need their head examined for even making him the Democratic nominee (note to Democrats...I'll call you out too if you dont' clean out your closets...the ABM's wrath is not solely reserved for the Repugnicans)

Now Roland Burris may be the salt of the earth and a great guy, but his candidacy will always be stained with Blago's stench. This is the same guy who was calling Blago's actions reprehensible last week...until Blago decided to use him a a token creating a dilemma for those who would oppose the appointment...criticize the appointment at the expense of being called a "racist" for opposing the appointment of a black man (see next post on Bobby Rush and the Race Card).

So let's all give Governor (hopefully soon-to-be-inmate Blagojevich a round of applause for raising idoicy to historic heights. He's a one of a kind dumbass and deserves this coveted recognition as the ABM's Idiot of the Year. Governor...take a bow, you really outdid yourself.
