Yeah, But Obama Picked Gupta

The media is having a field day about the fact that the Governor Who Would Be Persecuted, Rod Blagojevich, aka Cabbage Patch Weeble, admitted during his “Screw Impeachment” media tour that he had kicked Oprah Winfrey’s name around as a replacement for President Black Obama’s vacant Senate seat.  Everybody laughed and laughed at crazy ol’ Blago; even Oprah scoffed, “whatever would I do?” Scarlett O’Hara-like, when asked about the governor’s admission.  But, she was a little more somber, and only slightly more reticent last month, when rumors were swirling about her moving to Washington to join Obama’s cabinet, kitchen or otherwise.

After the news broke that she was looking for an empty 50 million dollar mansion in the D.C. area, and that she was taking her show on the inaugural road, speculation ran rampant that the Big O was going to find some kind of place in the Obama administration; anything from Ambassador to vice-president to Secretary of State.  Of course, most of these rumors could be dismissed as loony rantings by deranged crackpots (is there any other kind?) and gossip, but it is significant that such lunacy found traction.

Now, belly laughs abound at the Hair Bear’s expense, I mean, c’mon, the guy’s guilty as O.J., right?  Why won’t he just quit, or at least show up and let them impeach him fairly at the show trial they’re conducting for just that purpose?  What kind of lunatic protests about something righteous like that?  Who wouldn’t leap at the opportunity to be prosecuted by a best-selling legal thriller writer?  It’s not like the Obamessiah would ever let anybody convicted or accused of any kind of wrongdoing in his inner circleTonyRezkoTimGeithner.  And, it’s certainly beyond the pale that any Serious Politician would ever consider giving a high-level position to a television personalitySanjayGuptaFranDrescher.  Who would ever think such a thing?  Isn’t that why nobody voted for Fred Thompson?  AlFranken?  And why Chris Matthews dropped out?  Who do these people think they are, Arnold Schwartzenegger?

Not everybody can get into Big Time Politics with the depth of experience of a Black Obama or Caroline Kennedy.

Ask Sarah Palin.

Rove Subpoenaed, Tax Cheat Confirmed

America, gotta love her.  While everybody dances to the Blagodrama circus music, the really surreal proliferates.  President Black Obama, hellbent on pushing through his stimulus plan before anybody examines it too closely, in a manner reminiscent of the Bush run-up to the Iraq war, rushes even faster to get his just confirmed (60-34) tax cheat Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, sworn in before anybody wakes up and tries to stop him.   From MSNBC’s update:

NBC’s Antoine Sanfuentes adds that President Obama is expected to attend Geithner’s swearing in at the Treasury Department between 7 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

Meanwhile, John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has issued a subpoena for Karl Rove, who has a history of ignoring them.  From Fox News:

The subpoena Monday by Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers continues a long-running legal battle. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, contending that former presidential advisers cannot be compelled to testify before Congress.

And, the wheels…
