Foiled Again

Once again, the voters of Illinois were kicked in the teeth by their governor, Rod (the reformer) Blagojevich. Governor Hairball sent a tough reform bill back to the legislature. The bill proposed outlawing the major revenue streams employed by the convicted Tony Rezko (next door neighbor of the Messiah Barack Obama) to stockpile the guv's campaign war chest.
His transparent rationale? It wasn't tough enough. That's political-speak for "it shits in my nest and I want it outahere long enough for me to refill the war chest for a run for a second term".
Thankfully, nobody except his newly hired spokesperson believes him.
Keep in mind, Illinois is a one-party state. Yet even the guv's fellow party members are lining up to over-ride his veto. They hate him that much. And the guv's senate president bodyguard, Emil (Yesboss) Jones, announced his intention to retire in time to accept a potential presidential appointment from the Messiah. But before doing so, he recommended that he be replaced by his son. In the Peoples Republic of Illinois, as in feudal Europe, royalty bloodline is a divine right.
Full Story
You see, Yesboss Jones is well-known as the Messiah's Mentor from his not-so-long ago days as a mere state senator in Springfield.
Come to think of it, the Messiah has been campaigning for president about as long as he has actually served in Washington as a US Senator. Maybe that's why his federal legislative resume is almost non-existent....He's barely ever been able to vote "present". And needs a GPS to find the other side of the aisle.
