two things to know about Blago's lawyer

1. Former clients like "Jimmy 'The Bomber' Catura (federal fraud, 1972) and Billy Dauber, feared mob enforcer, both ... later whacked by the Outfit... Pat Marcy, 1st Ward powerbroker and mob court fixer; 'Blind Louie' Cavallaro, juice loan collector and enforcer, and Jerry Scalise, Marlborough diamond jewel thief" aren't necessarily among his favorites, according to Carol Marin. "I know Eddie Genson may be prouder of the politicians he's represented than the mobsters, but honestly, isn't it sometimes almost a toss-up?"

2. He can't even figure out how to pronounce his own phokking name, according to the last minute and a half or so of this report.

next to "Barack Obama..."

is there a scarier, more un-American sounding name in Congress than "Rahm Emanuel?"

CHICAGO (AP) -- Barack Obama's fellow Chicagoan Rahm Emanuel, the hard-charging No. 3 Democrat in the House, has accepted the job White House chief of staff, Democratic officials said Thursday.

One of Obama's first decisions as president-elect was to ask the Illinois congressman to run his White House staff. The selection of the fiery Democrat marked a shift in tone for Obama, who chose more low-key leadership for his presidential campaign.

the coming-unhinged of America continues (cont'd)

"I can't stand to look at him, I don't trust him. I don't like the circle of friends he keeps, I don't like his policies... I'm pissed off by it. I'm beyond mad. How is he climbing up in the polls?"

Then again, what would you expect from... wait... that was k-mad talking about the RezzzziDUNCE four years ago. Sorry.
